Pisa, Maran’s challenge: there is a trio to get well

“Cura Maran: The Three to Rebuild”, headlines Nation. Cohen, Lucca and Toure have done little and need to be restarted. Problems of the new coach.

Among the many assessments to be made in the first days of the acclimatization of the new Nerazzurri coach Rolando Maran, there is undoubtedly such an important issue as the recovery of some players (who did not show consistent performance last season) for the next season. Three of these were important economic investments totaling 6 million euros.

YONATHAN COHEN

The first player to try to recover will be Israeli Jonathan Cohen. Arriving in the city after grueling negotiations with Maccabi Tel Aviv, he has a contract that ties him to Pisa until 2026. Gradually, from an exotic promise and a novelty for Italian football, the player turned into an object of mystery, looking also to adapt to Italian life. Cohen spoke about solving his problems a few days ago on Israeli TV when he returned home for the holidays with his wife, but the player is motivated to improve and, despite being on vacation, does not stand idly by posting his workouts at the gym in Tel Aviv. Aviv every day. Can Maran win Cohen’s challenge?

LORENZO LUCCA

It is useless to hide it, at present the “case” of Lorenzo Lucca is the most difficult to analyze. An offer of 8m plus bonuses, valued at 15m by Pisa, was turned down for him in January, but since October of last year he has been unable to see a target, having been goalless for 8 months. A monstrous decision for the first striker, who gradually lost the attention of the Italian under-21 team, and then the head coach of the national team, Roberto Mancini. Recently it was discussed in the market news (Salernitana, Bologna and Cremonese are interested in it), and Pisa is considering what to do. Restore or sell? Be that as it may, it will be a capital gain compared to the 2 million that Pisa replaced Palermo with because the polls for his card start at around 6 million. Of course it will be a hot summer. Meanwhile, the player rests between Ibiza and Mykonos to recharge their batteries.

IDRISA TOURE

One million euros and Claudio Chiellini’s blessing to move him from Juventus U23 to Nerazzurri. The influence of the young former Juventus player on Pisa was devastating in the first months of the tournament. Together with Marin and Nagy, this trio accomplished great feats and helped the Nerazzurri win the title of winter champion. Then, after an injury in the midst of the Covid epidemic hitting the team, Toure got lost along the way and was never the same again during the second round, so much so that he gradually fell out of D’Angelo’s view. . Today it needs to be restored. […].
