L’Udinese is preparing to officially begin its new season today. In these hours in fact, after the first days of testing with several absentees, the black and whites will gather to work in full ranks at the Bruseschi until July 18th and then go up to Bad Kleinkirchheim for the second half of the preparation. No sensational surprises from the list of players called up for Runjaic for the gathering, but there are a couple of notes. In fact, Joao Ferreira, who was destined to return to Watford after arriving on loan last summer, is present and will wear the black and white shirt at least in these weeks.
Secondly Damian Pizarrothe first purchase of the summer transfer market session of the Bianconeri to lengthen the center forward department and who in Chile is presented as one of the stars of the future of the national team, is not yet present. In fact, there are some, normal, bureaucratic obstacles for the visa. Once he arrives he will begin to work with a differentiated program having removed a bone cyst in the past few weeks. Runjaic will therefore be able to work with him only for a little while. There is obviously no Walaciaofficially transferred to Cruzeiro after the acceleration of the negotiations that began in mid-June.
A replacement will certainly have to be found and there are currently four names on the table, these are: Richardson (Reims), Cerin (Panathinaikos), Niasse (Young Boys) and Satlberger (Rapid Vienna). Players with slightly different characteristics than Walaciabut they want to change the register a bit compared to the style of play seen in recent years and to confirm the feeling there are also the words of Gino Pozzo, who gave a long interview last week. Finally, the defense chapter. Regardless of the departure of Bijol or Nehuen Perez, at least one piece is needed to lengthen the blanket in the department. Like Facundo Gonzalez of Juventus, but also be careful of Ghilardia Hellas Verona boy who did very well for Sampdoria in Serie B last season.
