First day of Neroverdi school at the De Marchi center. 26 players have been called up, training camp in Tarvisio from Monday
PORDENONE. “What I feel? For me they are strong emotions: I feel the maximum enthusiasm ». As a true rocker Massimo Paci finds words full of energy to describe Pordenone’s first day of work at De Marchi.
The new coach, coming from Teramo in Serie C, “launches” the season of the green-and-whites, starting with the meeting. For the 26 players under contract, paddling and individual athletic tests on the pitch. Team training will only begin on Thursday, after the second round of molecular exams.
From Monday the start of the meeting in Tarvisio. The green lizards are thus preparing to face their third consecutive Serie B championship. The goal is, clearly, salvation.
For a company like Neroverde to remain in the category would be something exceptional.
Simone Pasa was the first to arrive at the sports center in via Villanova di Sotto. Then Kevin Biondi arrived, so a little at a time all the others peeped out.
It is a week in which the engine starts after almost two months of stop. The real work begins in a few days, when we will sweat – for two weeks – in Val Canale.
«In the city – said mister Paci, 43 years old – we will focus only on the aspect of physical preparation and, of course, we will begin to know each other. It is a whole new world for many. From Monday we will also take care of the tactical part ».
The first friendly match is scheduled for Sunday 18 July in Tarvisio with Promotion’s Maniago / Vajont. The second always in the center of Val Canale on Sunday 25 July with Nova Gorica. Then the return to De Marchi. But before thinking about the field, what does this first day mean for Paci? «I try to enjoy every moment – said the coach -. It is beautiful and I am happy to be there ». With him the company wants to carry out a two-year project.
Together with him will work his “deputy” Roberto Guana (purchase already made known at the time of the hiring of the coach), the athletic trainer Salvatore Sciuto (ex Lecce), the goalkeeper coach Gabriele Aldegani (ex breaking latest news), the match analyst Martino Vignali (ex Imolese) as well as the technical collaborator Andrea Toffolo (confirmed) and the injury recovery trainer Tommaso Zentilin (confirmed).
As for the medical staff, the official status is still missing but after seven years a great professional like the masseur physiotherapist Luigi Zanusso will no longer be part of the team. Next to the “column” Alessandro Marzotto (massage physiotherapist, 18th season for him in neroverde, the longest-lived in the service of the club) will be Stefano Tonin and another figure who will be announced shortly.
