Sensations

It starts from the end of a training carried out in the morning which has marked, so far, the most important news of the summer of the Taurus. It starts from the end, or since Duvan Zapata leaves the locker room after the shower while eating an apple and heads towards the fans, waiting outside the Sportzentrum Prad of Prato alla Stelvio. It is the second day of withdrawal at altitude, the first is staged official autograph session (Because here and there, somehow, hundreds will have already flown).

Duvan smiles, with kindness nobody disappoints. “Boys, I’m better – he says about fifty fans -: I am recovering the condition, slowly I will come back in shape“.
The day
–
We had lived the best a couple of hours before. So, let’s revive the threads of a particular day. As now as a consolidated agenda, Marco Baroni gathers the team a few minutes before 10 on the main field of the sports center a stone’s throw from the Granata hotel. Behind the scenes, there is movement already around 9.45 am. It is clear that some surprises are about to arrive. Baroni is faithful to the program of the first day and still starts from tactics exercises after muscle awakening. At 10 lift the two teams for the exercise in the middle of the field and, surprised, with the group there is Zapata for the first time in the season. Dress a blue jacket and Baroni ranks him from “center forward Jolly”. Play for the team that has the ball possession. Remains with his companions one abundant half hourthen moves away on the secondary field to continue the personalized plan together with an athletic trainer.
At what point are we?

It was a first step. Baroni wanted to make him taste some schemes, a little of his football, without forcing. Duvan is in the middle of the first phase of work of the summer, the one dedicated to restoring complete recovery. He was injured on 5 October last year, in April he started training in the gym at Philadelphia to resume muscle tone, then a little at a time began to force. Today it runs and works hard, is monitored day by day by the club’s medical and athletic staff. The hope is to review it in a group by the end of the month, with the projection of Reverse it on the pitch after the September stop. All without forcing times and needs. The giant is on the way, Baroni smiles. This is already enough to turn on the dreams of the fans.
