First athletic session of the season for Cucine Lube Civitanova. Differentiated training for Marko Podrascanin, who underwent a selective meniscectomy of the medial meniscus and a “cleanup” of his left knee in August. The medical staff announces that his recovery is continuing as normal. The rest of the red and white group gathered at the Santa Maria Apparente synthetic pitch around 8:30 a.m. with trainer Max Merazzi to loosen up their muscles and get their first runs. At 4:30 p.m., the team returned to the Eurosuole Forum to regain confidence with the ball, thus inaugurating the technical sessions. Furthermore, the kitchen giants will sweat it out tomorrow, Saturday, August 23, with activities in the weight room and on the pitch, for now without jumping to avoid putting their ankles at risk at a delicate moment. Then a relaxing Sunday.
Max Merazzi (Athletic Trainer, Cucine Lube Civitanova):
“We’ve broken the ice with our physical preparation, and low-intensity sessions with the ball await us. There’s no reason to rush things and adopt an aggressive approach, given that we have two months of preseason left. In these first ten days, we’ll be practicing consistently but gently. The intense training phase will begin in September.
Only in the summer of 2020, the year of the March lockdown, did preparation begin very early.
