Friuli on Friday 13 reopens for the official debut which will also be the last test before Juve (tickets on sale from today, high prices)
UDINE. If for Primo Levi “Christ stopped at Eboli”, for Udinese there is a real risk that his Christ (Gonzalez, Spanish center forward who has returned from a couple of years on loan) could freeze on Friday 13 August in front of Ascoli , decreasing the chances of a passage of the round in the Italian Cup that should be discounted for a Serie A team against an opponent from the floor below (whoever passes will challenge the winner of Crotone-Brescia). The conditional on the debut is a must, and not because the draw of the national trophy has changed, leaving out the C teams, but because even in the recent past Udinese has made a devil’s effort to make the first step in the Cup, that of Ferragosto which will be offered in full on the Mediaset networks which has secured the rights of the competition.
The bianconeri can be followed on Canale 20, kick-off at 20.45, but also live and this is really good news, considering that the Friuli stadium, thanks to the pandemic, has opened only a couple of times and for a thousand fans hosted by invitation (between September and October last year), where this time the maximum capacity of the Rizzi facility will be 50 percent, 12,572 spectators. A number that must be noted above all in view of the debut in the league, Sunday 22, when at 18.30 Udinese will host Juventus for what will be a sure sold out in the anti-Covid mode: tickets for this match will be on sale on- line from 10 today on Ticketone, from Monday 16 instead the box offices will also be open. Prices? Very salty: from 60 euros for the curves (48 with the bonus for old subscribers) to 140 (112) for the central grandstand. The prices for today’s match against Ascoli are much more affordable (counters from 9 to 13): with 15 euros you can go into the curve, with 30 under the arch of the Rizzi. Access only with the Green pass to be shown to stewards equipped with optical reader, as it will happen against Juventus.
In this official start of the season under the banner of Juventus, the one against the Marche will therefore also be the last test before the championship. And for this reason the name of Cristo Gonzalez was not mentioned by chance. The fans are still waiting for a true center-forward able to take your chestnuts off the fire, a role for which the Spaniard – who today should be paired with Pussetto – does not seem cut out. On the other hand, after having lost the certainty of De Paul in the middle of the field, there is concern for what the team will be able to do without the leader in recent seasons. Friday night the first clue. –
