The new coach directed the training: two hours mixing intensity and quality “I believe that for my role it is very important to communicate with the group”
PORDENONE. Team on the field shortly after 17, athletic work (about 60 ‘), then the first contact with the ball. Almost two hours of training, mixing intensity and quality. Thus began the adventure of Massimo Rastelli at the helm of Pordenone. «I leave with great enthusiasm», told Il13 of the director Gigi Di Meo. He must pass it on to the players, who will then have to achieve the first positive results. There is a need, given the “zero” in the standings after two days of Serie B.
«I immediately felt the will of the club to bet on me – said the new neroverde coach -. We had already met with the management a few months ago. I moved the cause with great energy, aware that, beyond what happened, there is work to be done ».
To do this he wanted his men with him: his deputy Dario Rossi, the goalkeeper trainer Davide Dei and the athletic trainer Francesco Esposito. They will join the two “profs” already on contract (Salvatore Sciuto and Tommaso Zentilin), the technical collaborator Andrea Toffolo and the match analyst Martino Vignali. A staff – including the coach – of eight people.
To these are added the 31 players on the pitch yesterday. In total 39 contract elements. Of course, some players will go to the stands, it is inevitable, but it should be emphasized that the company in this sense has given all of itself for the cause. Now the ball goes to the court. “The module? In my career I have used them all: I will choose it based on the players, ”said Rastelli. Possible start with 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-1-2. «As a technician – the former Cagliari closed – I will talk to the group. I think it is important ».
De Marchi did not miss the presence of the president Mauro Lovisa, who spoke to the team before training, trying to stimulate it. He did not digest last Sunday’s knockout for 5-0 with Spal and the thirty shots on goal he suffered. Far too many. Now he expects a reaction from the players. Sergio Bolzonello, regional councilor, who has always been at the side of the green lizards, also greeted the company.
Today the group will return to De Marchi to work hard. There is not much time, although there is a break and there are no players involved with the national teams. On 12 September we return to the field and play in Lignano with Buffon’s Parma. We need to accelerate, even if the B series offers surprises and the ranking often remains short.
