Nanni, the San Marino striker “I grew up thanks to the coach”
The striker scored heavy goals, three defenders were sent off to stop him For the former Crotone the next exam to pass is the maturity as a privatist
Second San Marino to wear the Lucchese shirt, the first was the defender Walter Casarotto (103 appearances for the Rossoneri from 1985 to 1989 embellished with the promotion as protagonist in C2 under the orders of Renzo Melani in the 1985-1986 season), Nicola Nanni is living in the shadow of the walls a championship marked by continuous growth. In the 18 games played, seasoned by heavy goals with Olbia and Aquila Montevarchi, the twenty-one year old proved to be a suitable striker for the game of Guido Pagliuca: a lot of racing and sacrifice to help your teammates, combined with a certain physical impetuosity that can be controlled by rival defenders. For more information, please to Silvestri (Modena), Corinus (Fermana) and Dutu (Montevarchi), all forced to resort to the expulsion foul to stop the rush of the tip that arrived in the summer through a loan from Crotone. If at the team level the balance at the halfway point is decidedly satisfactory, on a personal level the former Cesena shows that he does not want to be satisfied with his current loot. «Our performance is in line with what the company requested in the summer. We must not forget that compared to the other teams we started late – Nanni points out – staff can score a few more goals, particularly in the first part of the season, but above all I place the good of Lucchese ». The meeting with Guido Pagliuca, a very good coach in throwing young players, brought improvements in his baggage: «On the technical level, I am learning a lot from the coach. When we go out on the pitch we know what to do thanks to his tactical indications during the week. I believe that the group is the strong point of this Lucchese. In addition, Pagliuca has transmitted the passion of a historic square like Lucca ».
You see Visconti and Belloni are the companions who have most impressed him, Nanni responds in this way to those who insinuate that the offensive department is the mole of this Panther. “In football, the numbers speak for themselves and it is clear how we must improve in the implementation phase – admits the striker of the San Marino national team – We will work hard to bridge this gap with respect to our solid defense, but it must be recognized how the opposing teams now await us. only, you see matches against Grosseto and Pistoiese, instead of being more proactive ». Off the pitch Nicola Nanni has another heavy goal to score. “I have to take the final exam as a private student, since it was not possible to take it in a public school due to the various movements”. Final chapter dedicated to the commitments with the national team of San Marino. International matches are a real life training ground for Nanni: «Representing a country of thirty thousand inhabitants is a privilege, even if we face strong opponents like Poland and England. Having faced top scorers of the caliber of Maguire, Stones and Mings is another growth brick ».
