In recent weeks he has been making waves through performances worthy of his level and an increasingly constant and constantly growing performance on the pitch. Marin Pongracic he finally took the his Lecce, dragging him to the finish line of salvation with a great sense of belonging and leadership within the locker room.
The year of rebirth
The Croatian defender is in his second year in Salento but the first experience was completely forgettable due to an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for almost the entire last season. This year, however, the music has changed with the boy in full physical condition and the numbers speak for themselves: 31 appearances (or rather 33 if we consider those in the Italian Cup) and a work of constant improvement and growth in everyone’s eyes. Together with his teammate Baschirotto he leads the Giallorossi’s defensive department with great experience and familiarity, benefiting the entire team which can count on their potential and reliability.
High quality performances that confirm the value of the boy (let’s not forget his past with Borussia Dortmund and his experiences in the Champions League). This year’s will have to be for Pongracic the season of ransom in which to send a clear message of one’s return among the “grown-ups”. Of all this, obviously, Lecce takes a big advantage, being able to count on the undoubted qualities of a boy who is clearly relaunching.
Salvation with Lecce and the European Championship
In this final rush of the championship, Marin’s only thought will be to lead his team to salvation (and this time as an absolute protagonist) not disappointing the expectations of his fans and remaining on track until the last day.
Obviously the Croatian’s numbers and performance will not go unnoticed by his national team manager Dalic who, in his latest official outings, has granted him a starting shirt after some time since the last time. L’European he is getting closer and closer but we are sure that the hard work and constant performance will be rewarded, returning to being a protagonist also with his Croatia and who knows if not starting next June in Germany.
