From outcast to reinstated. The La Spezia edition of The XIX Century reports that M’Bala Nzola he returned to work with his teammates and is now a full member of the players at the disposal of the Spezia coach Thiago Motta. Yesterday’s was in fact the first training session in the group for the attacker, put on the market during the last session but in the end remained in black and white.

A very particular story, because until the last day of the transfer market he was one step away from Genoa, then everything was blown up. Even after the end of the transfer market, negotiations continued, this time with the Turkish club Basaksehir, who eventually took Okaka after he failed to find an agreement with Spezia. Other options were considered in Turkey and Arabia, but none convinced. And then here came the clarification with the Spezia, since there were no more possibilities to leave (today the Turkish market closes). And staying apart in the house until January was not convenient for anyone. Thus the solution of common sense, the return to the squad.

The XIX Century he says: “Nzola goes back to the group and regularly carries out the whole session together with his teammates at the Municipal of Follo. Shortly before there is a clarification in the very calm changing room between the Franco-Angolan striker, Thiago Motta, the head of the Pecini technical area and the whole team … This would suggest perhaps a first call-up for the match against Venice, following the one against Udinese on matchday 3; Nzola has continued to train alone with the athletic trainers and seems to be in good shape ”.

A turning point also for the fantasy football. Nzola in the next matches will probably be called up, perhaps as early as the 4th matchday against Venezia. It will be useful for a team that showed some gaps in the first few days. However, he could no longer be untouchable as he was last year, but questioned and evaluated on a par with his teammates: Thiago Motta will decide. With the possibility of leaving as soon as the market reopens, next January. But in the meantime the word will pass to the field, everything will also depend on his commitment and his attitudes (in the past not always impeccable). For now, however, he can be considered an available attacker, if he is well and concentrated he is also the best possible choice for the role of first striker (and also penalty taker, if he plays). Fantasy football remains an attacker from the last slots, but the reintegration and the “peace made” should not be underestimated anyway.
