Pordenone, victory is a must: in Alessandria there is the last train for the play-outs

PORDENONE. Five more games, fifteen points. Of which (at least) eight to be recovered to enter the play-out area. Utopia? Perhaps. But, for sure, it is a little less so after last Tuesday’s victory over Frosinone.

Because Pordenone with the Ciociari (and not only, to tell the truth) has proven to be anything but a team now resigned to relegation. That he does not intend to try to the end.

That is, until mathematics will grant freedom of calculation and will not impose sentences. With this in mind, today’s match in the historic “Moccagatta” stadium in Alessandria, where a certain Gianni Rivera took his first steps, truly represents the last train for Tedino’s neroverdi.

Who by winning would reopen, albeit still at a safe distance, the sprint to access the play-offs-salvation. Taking advantage, from a psychological point of view, of the beneficial flows of the comeback and the growing anxiety in the comeback.

BETWEEN SAYING AND DOING

But Tedino is aware that we are talking about an enterprise bordering on the impossible. And he can’t help but hide it, while giving confidence: «There is a big difference between guaranteeing maximum commitment and winning games.

However, we will try to turn wishes into reality in these last five games. And to do so we absolutely must not lose the humility and concentration that have characterized the latest releases ».

Did the success against Frosinone give the right boost? «I hope so – replies the neroverde coach -, but obviously it is the field, match after match, that says whether the progress of the previous time has had a continuation.

In Ascoli, for example, we had taken a slight step backwards in terms of the game. While with Frosinone I saw better management of the ball. Alessandria will be a further test, and in some ways unprecedented, because they play a very innovative football.

What game do I expect? It will be a very fast-paced race. In which physical duels will count a lot. In other words, I expect different shoulders ».

NEWS AND CONFIRMATIONS

Compared to the match with Frosinone, Tedino is forced to change something. More for the infirmary bulletin than for the logic of turnover. In goal there will once again be Bindi thanks to the injured Perisan not even called up.

Lovisa can’t make it, who came out prematurely in the last match of Teghil. While Zammarini, Valietti, Iacoponi and Sylla remain out. Bassoli will be called upon to grit his teeth, if not to give way to Barison.

Waiting for the form, with the “new” 4-1-4-1 on the launching pad, given the recent results. An arrangement that should include two wings like Mensah and the feared (from the gray) Cambiaghi ready to give a hand to the only tip: Butic or Candellone. In front of the four defensive bulwarks there will be Pasa, with Torrasi advanced alongside the inspired Deli seen with Frosinone.

THE PREVIOUS

With Alessandria, which currently boasts nine points ahead of the green lizards, in the first leg, the first victory of the season came. It was signed by Pinato and Folorunsho, who in the meantime have changed the air.

“But in the first twenty minutes – remembers Tedino – they made us suffer a lot”. There will probably be suffering today as well. But the prize could be something unthinkable.
