Il prepartita di Arzignano Valchiampo-Triestina

Tomorrow is the final match before the Christmas break for Triestina, who will take the field tomorrow at 15:00 at Stadio Dal Molin against Arzignano Valchiampo. Manager Attilio Tesser previewed the clash as follows:

“The challenge of this match lies in the technical quality that Arzignano is currently demonstrating. After struggling in the lower end of the table during the first part of the season, they are now mid-table, getting solid results and performances. They convincingly defeated Atalanta Under-23, came close to winning in Salò, and have been securing important outcomes. They are a very tough team to face, perhaps the most difficult. They don’t just sit back defensively and have a clear playing style. We will need to be very cautious about the speed and intensity they bring to the game. They are a team that builds cohesive, well-thought-out plays.

With D’Urso unavailable, I have considered several options, but as I am still in the process of fully assessing the squad during official matches, El Azrak will start tomorrow. This decision is also merit-based, he made a great impact in Novara, and beyond scoring, he has earned the opportunity. Alongside Christian, we will face some other absences. Bijleveld will not be available due to a minor muscle issue, a problem that can be resolved in a few days, but we won’t take any risks given the proximity of the match. Finally, Voca suffered an ankle sprain in a challenge yesterday and isn’t fully fit. He will travel with us but is unlikely to recover in time. So, at this moment, we have a squad dealing with a few knocks.”
