Colonel: “Pisa as hot as the squares of the south. Lecce is a battleship”
Today Gianluca Colonello looks around, but in his past there is also an experience in Pisa, but his heart is Giallorossi.
THE EXPERIENCE IN PISA. “I was there to coach the Primavera, it was a particular season, however, and halfway through the championship I even found myself replacing Gennaro Gattuso in the first team. The memory, despite the many vicissitudes, is still positive because it is a city that lives for football and for those who do our job you cannot ask for better ”.
THE CLIMATE. “Pisa is a spectacular supporter. Geographically it is practically in the North, but from the point of view of the warmth of the fans it has nothing to envy to the passion of the Apulian, Calabrian or Sicilian fans. Even at the Garibaldi Arena, when there are great matches, cheering can make a difference, something that is not so obvious in those latitudes of football “.
MEMORIES WITH D’ANGELO. “I am happy with his path and what he is doing at the moment. We are both from Abruzzo and together we lived great in the regional championships, especially with the shirts of Francavilla me and Chieti him. He has done a lot of givetta, the success he has at this moment is the result of a great job, always carried out with intelligence and pragmatism, two qualities that he managed to convey to this Pisa that with him at the helm has the qualities to live an exciting season ” .
THE LECCE. “It is not a surprise of this championship. It is in the position where it was built in the summer by Pantaleo Corvino who did a great job, as well as last year, where without that final blackout, he would have managed to win promotion to A. even stronger, he is proving great. balance and solidity, characteristics that my Lecce also had and with which we got great satisfaction “.
WHAT’S MORE ?. “First of all the fans. Look at the results at home last year, it is there that Lecce lost some important points. Today, however, he is undefeated at Via del Mare and the reason is easy to explain: the people, the curve, the cheering are back. When they sing from the stands you have more strength, more desire ”.
WHO MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. “If Massimo Coda had certainly been there, it is a real shame not to see a player like him take the field in these matches, but in Lecce there are many other protagonists. Pisa has Lucca who, if he wants to open up important prospects for his career, must do well in the matches that count and the one with Lecce is one of them “.
