The start date of the summer retreat has been official since yesterday. A symbolic moment, it certainly marks the start of the operations of a new season. A phase startupscapable of fueling dreams or raising doubts as happened a year ago when, right from the retreat, all the incompleteness of a group that never took off emerged.
What’s new is that Bari has an unprecedented technical guide. Moreno Longo, already presented, brings all the enthusiasm of a new challenge. A trained coach who does something chameleonism a certain trademark, while transferring the idea of with a certain continuity a three-man defense from which, in many quarters, today there is already a tendency to draw the new Bari. Here, department by department, are the possible moves:
BRINGS – It will be Pissardo. But the feeling is that the former Inter will not be the only bastion, and perhaps not even the first. There has been a lot of talk in recent days about PigliacelliPalermo’s goalkeeper, moreover particularly chatted also in other directions, always in cadence. What is certain is that Bari will rely on a starter (or at least potential starter) who can increase the competitiveness in the department.
DEFENCE – Three-man setup means more centre-backs. The formula might be appreciated by Vicari, Matino and Pucino. While on Zuzek doubts remain: the Slovenian has never taken off so far. Will it be the right time? Or is his experience in the red and white destined to end? At that point, two to three interventions are required. A pair they could also have the young appearance of performers eager to rise, to be found in the loan market, which is always very hot.
MIDFIELD – Two thinners, two power plants. Dorval, Ricci, Maiello and Benali they seem certain to be part of the new project. Already a hypothetical quartet for the nerve center of the new Bari. Even if it is widely believed that this is not enough: there is uncertainty about Maita (will he accept the sirens of Cesena?) and there is no shortage of them redundancies. Bari could draw heavily here too, integrating a department which – given the leadership of Maiello and Benali – could need younger players and, perhaps, with a few goals in the tank.
ATTACK – A center forward and two finishers behind. The assault on Partipilo, if successful, will give the car a footballer of certain eclecticism. Capable of pretty good ballistic shots, Partipilo could act to complete a trident in which there would also be Sibyls. The top-class striker would then be missing: a fundamental commodity in Serie B. For the rest, Bari could tap into the youth market: Sgarbi, Ambrosino, Compagnonit could be ideal trident baby, ready to undermine that of the more experienced. The compelling project would take shape with a nice mix of arrows.
