BUSTO ARSIZIO – The football market of the Pro Patria has just come to the fore, many negotiations started by Turotti are still to be made official, but the start of the preparation is approaching. In view of the departure for the retreat in Sondalo (friendly with Pisa likelyold grudges permitting; the one with the difficult one Palermo in Livigno, for which a combination of dates is being sought), the company in via Ca’ Bianca has in the meantime signed two young players among those who they did so well this year in Serie D.
The chosen ones
As anticipated in these columns, the three-quarter-back playmaker Federico Incomeabsolute protagonist in Sant’Angelo (28 appearances, 2 goals and 3 assists), and the defender Alessandro Sassaro (in the opening photo with the former white and blue Salvatore Asmini)who distinguished himself in Castellanzese as a wing-back after years of bad luck due to injuries, have deservedly completed their apprenticeship and will thus join other promising youngsters already in the first team roster of the white and blues, namely Luca BonginiErvin Debt and Leonardo Ferrariowithout obviously forgetting the returning horse Emanuele Zanaboni.
Outsider: Reggiori?
But the list of tiger cubs with a reserved seat on the bus to Valtellina could get longer, probably not with Federico Albertonconsidered a cornerstone in the project by the ambitious Arconatese of patron Mantovani, almost certainly not even with Tommaso Olivieriwho had done so well in the 11 years in white and blue before finding little space at Varesina, as perhaps with the 2005 Pietro Reggio, he too is coming off a positive year at Castellanzese (like Jacopo Skin puller), also he – like Sassaro and Renda – from the stable of the former Milan goalkeeper Ottorino Piotti.
Underdog: Is Grillo hoping?
To tell the truth, the range of possibilities also includes left-back Francesco Ramiresstarter in Riccione in a season that ended with salvation in the playouts; right back Lorenzo Rusconimanaged to find space at Tritium, after starting in Sant’Angelo; the right wing of Gozzano Edoardo Ferrari; and especially Tommaso Grillocentral midfielder protagonist in Magenta; but the impression is that the choices have already been made.
