Lovisa’s team, very renewed, against a fierce newly promoted player. Over a thousand fans will push the neroverdi
PORDENONE. Gourmet appetizers those with Bologna in a friendly match and La Spezia in the Italian Cup. But the highlight, although without the icing of Serie A, can only be the debut in the league. Today the Teghil of Lignano returns to breathe the atmosphere of the cadet tournament. And it will do so on an important occasion for several reasons. Of course, the charm of the debut, with the curiosity and the unknowns that it has always brought with it. But not only. For Pordenone, in fact, a “new” Serie B championship starts today, with more televisions that will follow it closely, with the technology (ie the Var) of the top flight, and with the public in the stands, albeit at fifty percent of the capacity. Over a thousand fans expected.
If that were not enough, the noble Perugia of the former, and still much loved (here he also embarked on an entrepreneurial initiative), Salvatore Burrai, will appear in the presence of the lizards. Tough opponent for Massimo Paci’s neroverdi. Here is another reason of great interest: the first of the new Pordenone coach. After earning the call in Serie B, giving a spectacle to the fans of Teramo (today he will find the former pupil Santoro as an opponent) in Serie C, even the neroverdi supporters are expecting to have fun. Combining good game and results, essential to try to put the hoped-for third consecutive salvation in the cadeteria as soon as possible.
The Pordenone seems to have equipped itself to conquer the finish line without particular worries. Indeed, there are those who push themselves to dream of something more: a play-off placement.
Despite the rivals are very competitive. Not surprisingly, after the president Mauro Lovisa, more than someone spoke of “A2”. The arrival of a player of the caliber of Jacopo Petriccione has however fueled the enthusiasm of the neroverde people. And it may not be over yet, given that there are ten days left until the market gong and there is talk of interest in the Lithuanian midfielder Vykintas Slivka (born in ’95), last season at Apollon Smyrnis in Greece.
Market rumors are also taking hold on the Umbrian side. Just in Lignano Perugia could “present” the new signing Gabriele Ferrarini (2000), right winger on loan from Fiorentina and fresh from promotion to A of Venezia. Close to marrying the court of the new coach Massimiliano Alvini there is also the striker Manuel De Luca (1998), caught by Sampdoria among the luxury free agents of Chievo, excluded from Serie B.
Two new faces, in the Neroverde home, will have to mark a visit today. These are the full-back El Kaouakibi and the striker Pellegrini, one of the revelations of the Pordenone pre-season. Both are disqualified. The fans of the green lizard, in any case, have nothing but to indulge themselves in terms of new idols, given that Kupisz and Cambiaghi should act on the flanks, with “the Mask” Folorunsho possible shoulder of Tsadjout forward.
Not to mention the super shots Petriccione and Ciciretti, if not from the beginning ready to be applauded during the race in progress.
