The second week of retreat in Valle d'Aosta begins like the first: everyone on the pitch, the group thinning out after the latest outgoing operations, Nicola closing the "Brunod" to the public to concentrate on tactical issues, in view of the second friendly of tomorrow.
Long tactical exercise, with the defense that could be the starting one in the head of coach Nicola (Zappa, Wieteska and Luperto) against Pavoletti and Luvumbo, assisted by Felici. Great intensity, with Nicola's request to fight with maximum commitment on the second balls, those that perhaps arise from crosses "dirtied" by the defense. Situations that will arise often, also due to the constant search for the wings and the cross from the right or left.
