“Greetings to all Amaranth fans. A new season is about to begin. We are really expecting many of you at the municipal stadium because we need you. I am sure that we will get great satisfaction together”. Signed Emiliano Pattarello. The number 10, through a story published on the official Facebook page of , has launched a message that seems to clear the field of any possibility that the Amaranth could leave in this summer transfer session. Already the sports director Cutolo, in the interview given yesterday to our newspaper, had protected the 25-year-old offensive winger, making it clear that he will be one of the pillars on which the new course of the Prancing Horse will rest in that process of further growth and of raising the bar repeatedly flaunted by the club. The ways of the market, as we know, are infinite and therefore never take anything for granted, but the feeling is that Troise’s team will start again from Pattarello, despite the attention from Serie B. The Neapolitan coach, on the day of his presentation, had also made a tactical reference, underlining how he sees the “10” as more attacking and therefore it is not excluded that he could also use him closer to the goal, as a second striker, and not only as a winger.
After all, I have known him since the time of the Bologna Primavera where he coached him and therefore more than others can intuit a possible evolution in the position on the field. The player, fresh from 8 goals and several assists in the last championship, is expected to make the definitive leap in quality. He is a mix of power and technique, if he improves his nastiness in front of goal, in Serie C he can really shift the balance. In the meantime, the market of is always evolving. For the attack it is no mystery that Cutolo follows Giacomo Parigi, 8 goals in the last championship in Arzignano. He is from Arezzo and would gladly return home. Up front the department should be completed with the arrival of two centre forwards. In defence Gilli from Picerno is a profile that is liked, but at the moment the amaranto club does not seem to be in the front row. With the probable exit of Polvani, another central defender will have to be inserted.
Next week, meanwhile, could be important to understand if Lorenzo Coccia’s return from Modena can be unblocked. Cutolo will have contact with the Emilian managers and with the left back’s agent. The same discussion will be opened with Empoli for Renzi and Donati. Still talking about full-backs, the one who returns, but is destined to leave is Samuele Zona: after the six months on loan at Messina he is not in the plans of the prancing horse. Among the youngsters who have gained experience in D, the defender Maloku and the midfielder Fiore, both born in 2004, will be added to the retreat.
