Olbia in Pontedera to best inaugurate the second round of the Serie C championship and close 2022 with a few more points in the farmhouse than the current 15. And hoist (who knows) out of the relegation zone before the winter break.
Tomorrow at the "Ettore Mannucci" Roberto Occhiuzzi's team will try to overcome the resistance of the Tuscan training, coached by the former Max Canzi, strong in the great desire to return to a success that has been missing since November 6 and in the recovery of Christian Travaglini and Davide Uncertain, returning from disqualification. Joseph Minala also from the trip after the muscle problems he complained about last week. «I still have some doubts about the starting XI: the squad is complete again, but I reserve the right to decide after the finishing touches», Occhiuzzi explained yesterday, before leaving for Tuscany.
What is certain is that, with Ludovico Gelmi injured, Maarten van der Want will be in goal. While there will be no new signing Nicolò Sperotto, announced today. The player arrives in Gallura on a permanent basis, with a contract until 30 June 2023, as a free agent, after his long militancy at Fermana, which ended after 5 years last May.
Scuola Torino, the left-handed full-back, born in 1992, effectively replaces the injured Davide Mordini, who after suffering an injury to his left anterior cruciate ligament in the match against Reggiana on 10 December, will undergo surgery, with subsequent rehabilitation and recovery process that will keep him away from the football fields for the rest of the season. For Sperotto, 243 appearances and 3 goals among professionals, between B championships (see the experience at Carpi in the 2013/14 season) and C and cups, the white shirt number 17 is ready.
Pontedera-Olbia will be directed by Maria Marotta of the Sapri section: kick-off at 17.30. For the record, the Gallurese won 1-0 in the first leg with a goal from Lorenzo Boganini.
