Yesterday was the first day of work for Reggina 2024-2025. All the players took part in the two training sessions that took place on pitch number two: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Same program for today. On the field, in addition to the general manager Giuseppe Praticò and the director of the technical area Giuseppe Bonanno, the patron Nino Ballarino was also seen. The latter spoke to the team. On Sunday evening, the group, just arrived at the Sant’Agata sports center, had an initial meeting with coach Rosario Pergolizzi and the technical staff.
The other aspect that has probably had a certain effect on those who have the amaranth colors in their hearts is the return of the historic logo on the training uniforms. Something that is taken for granted, but that the Reggio fans in recent years have found themselves wishing for due to the extra-football events that have led Reggina twice not to register for professional championships in the last nine years. The Serie C objective continues to pass through a continuation of the market that gives the team players capable of making the difference. A role that Nicolò Bianchi could play, in the event that he were to accept going down a division to find the amaranth colours again. The midfielder, currently at Padova, would have no difficulty in freeing himself. Reggina has been working on his signing for days, having once again demonstrated their ability to initially avoid letting the real objectives emerge. On the table is a multi-year proposal for the 1992-born player, who has requests in Serie C. For Reggina, the move would have technical reasons, considering that they would be bringing to Reggio Calabria a midfielder who is good in both phases, but above all capable of scoring goals and making runs.
Instead, we are only waiting for the announcement for the goalkeeper Giuseppe Lumia. The goalkeeper, born in 2004, was at Siracusa last season. This is an under who could end up alternating with Martinez in goal. In the matches where the Spaniard is called upon, Pergolizzi would be called upon to deploy an under in another department other than the goal or the defense. The various Zucco (2004), Perri (2005), Belpanno (2004) and Simonetta (2006) are the solutions to consider in midfield, but also Cham (2005) as the third on the left in the three-man defense. It is practically certain that, instead, the focus will be on the under as defensive full-backs and in particular the arrival of several players born in 2006 for that area of the field is expected. The first to arrive should be Riccardo Vesprini, right back coming from Spal.
