CREMONA - US Cremonese have completed their final training session ahead of the league fixture against Pisa. The match is scheduled for Saturday 17 October at 19.30 at the Arena Garibaldi for the seventh round of Serie B.
Mister Pecchia's squad worked at Campo 5 of the Centro Arvedi on Friday morning, following a refinement programme. On Thursday, the manager's men had already carried out a second weekly session, with technical activation, tactical exercises and a final small-sided game. The official refinement session is planned for Saturday morning, again at 11.00, before Sunday's rest day.
Cremonese approach the away fixture in good form. The team is unbeaten in their last five official matches, with two wins and three draws. The most recent result was the 0-0 draw away to Arezzo, which leaves the grigiorossi in fifteenth place in the standings with 6 points. The upcoming match against Pisa, seventh in the table, is a chance to climb the rankings. The full schedule can be checked on the fixtures page.
In the last match played, against Arezzo, Pecchia fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation. In goal was A. Fulignati, with a defence made up of F. Baschirotto, M. Bianchetti, S. Luperto and G. Pezzella. In midfield played A. Grassi and J. Vandeputte, while the attacking trio was formed by M. Collocolo, M. Thorsby and S. Elia, with M. Nasti as the lone striker. The full squad is available in the squad section.
Pisa come from a 2-2 away draw against Mantova, after two consecutive defeats. Saturday evening's match will be refereed by an official appointed by the CAN B. The trip to Pisa is the first in a series of fixtures Cremonese will face in October. The next fixture after Pisa will be at home against Cosenza on 24 October. The squad worked for 90 minutes in Friday's session, focusing on defensive organisation and transition play.
