Football, Triestina goes to Verona in search of salvation points
TRIESTE A more complicated situation to prepare for an important match like the one that happened to the new halberd coach Augusto Gentilini, it’s hard to imagine. Suddenly called up by Primavera to replace Pavanel, the coach was only able to do two training sessions with the team, without really knowing who he could really count on because this eve he is struggling with the last hours of the transfer market session. A session that was nothing short of chaotic at the halberd house, with many departures, many arrivals and improvised about-faces.
HOPE But Wednesday we go on the field and in the match against Virtus Verona (at the Gavagnin-Nocini stadium it starts at 6 pm, referee Andreano di Prato) Triestina must be able to scrape together some points if they still want to hold on to the hope of returning to the play area. outside. Now the points away from Piacenza are 5, a gap that is not impossible to fill, but the signs from the match against Trento were bad. We’ll see if in this desperate situation the shock given by the change of bench and by the many fresh forces that have arrived, will be able to dare a first leap to the Union.
A Union that must also break a very long fast away from home: away from home, the halberds are reduced by eight consecutive defeats, in which they have scored 4 goals and conceded 16. A disastrous path to say the least.
TRAINING Naturally, Gentilini’s Triestina is waiting to be discovered. Will the new coach maintain Pavanel’s 4-3-1-2 structure for the moment or will he immediately switch to the 4-2-3-1 that he adopted in the Primavera? We begin to understand it from today.
Meanwhile in Verona it will be difficult to deviate much in the choice of men compared to last Sunday, but Mbakogu and Piacentini should almost certainly be available from today, so some surprises cannot be ruled out. Masi will be in front of Matosevic this time to pair up with Ciofani in the middle of the defense (barring a lightning debut from Piacentini), while the full-backs should always be Ghislandi and Rocchetti. In the middle of the field, Gori, Germano and Celeghin are the favourites, but now that Paganini has been reinstated he could find a place, especially in the event of a change of formation and transition to 4-2-3-1. Up front Tavernelli and Felici are the liveliest, it will be necessary to see if they will be accompanied by Adorante or Minesso, or if there will even be the debut of the first striker Mbakogu right away. In addition to obviously Iacovoni, the Primavera Visentin and Rega will also be called up.
VIRTUE In the ranks of Virtus Verona there is a heavy absence in the middle of the field, in fact Hallfredsson will be missing due to knee inflammation. For the rest, Gigi Fresco’s team will line up with the usual 3-5-2: in front of Sibi there will be the trio of defenders formed by Faedo, Cella and Ruggero; in the middle of the field Tronchin flanked by Danti and Talarico (or Lonardi), while the wingers will be Daffara and Amadio; in attack Gomez will be joined by one between Kristoffersen and Fabbro.
