Piccini's career was twisted August 28, 2019 when he left the Paterna Sports City by ambulance after fracturing your kneecap in training. The operation, the year of recovery and the subsequent one of adaptation led him to barely dispute four games in 700 days and settle in a continuous swing of recoveries and subsequent relapses.
Two years later, Piccini faces a momentous season in his career, so much so that he himself classifies it as the most important of his life and that is why he is getting ready before he started. The Italian has been in Marbella for two weeks training with his personal trainer at maximum intensity. 'Picho' has lived together with Juan Foyth, from Villarreal, and Gazzaniga, from Elche, since all three share a trainer, and none has skimped on their efforts.

The reason for the high intensity of the Piccini preparation is simple: He doesn't want any more knee scares. The Italian during the past season already lived periods of adaptation to the team, however as soon as he began to train 100% doing games and field work, her joint was swollen and she had to step back. Little by little the problem disappeared and in the last part of the season He was able to participate in three meetings already.
Now, the full-back does not want any more scares and his goal is none other than to start the most important year of his career on equal terms with his teammates. Personally Piccini knows that he cannot afford a third year without activity and is confident that with the work he has done he can go back to being who he was.In fact, in preseason he has not had any discomfort. In the contractual, his contract expires in June 2022 and a good season could well be worth his continuity in Valencia or attract the interest of other clubs.
Valencia is looking for a side
Valencia, in any case, is looking for a side and the two candidates are Iván Balliu and Juan Iglesias as reported by this medium. In the entity che temen that, despite Piccini's great will, his knee will weigh him down again this year and they want to cover the position with full guarantee, especially if one takes into account that Bordalás likes to play with double wingers.
