With what stimuli do you face your fourth yellow and blue championship as a captain?
«It will be a challenge on a personal level, that is to be available in the largest number of games. I want to be of help and do my best with my teammates ».

What impact did you have with Mr. Cioffi and the sporting director Marroccu?
«First of all I want to thank Tony D’Amico, who has made us grow a lot over the years as well as being a very important person for all of us. Same thanks also for Mr. Tudor, with whom we had a great season. Now new figures have arrived, and it is up to us to help them find each other well because they are very competent and will give us their contribution. Mister Cioffi immediately gave me good impressions, he is a coach who speaks, who wants to understand our needs. He is demanding and you can see that he wants to do well and these are important aspects ».

Can we say that next year they will be played two in one?
“Yes, it will be a completely different season, but it will be up to us to make ourselves prepared and understand what the coach wants in order to find good results immediately and to achieve our goal, salvation”.

Mister Cioffi spoke of intensity and intelligence as two fundamental aspects …
«I agree with him, we have always had intensity in our DNA and we cannot lose it. At the level of intelligence, we will have to understand the game and think quickly because today it is very important ».

The young man who most amazed me?
«All the Primavera players who train with us are good guys, but not only in terms of football. They are kids who are ready to learn, who listen and who have the right attitude. In terms of potential, if I have to name a name, I say Coppola who has shown his worth in the last year ».

What locker room did Mr. Cioffi find?
“A group of respectful young people, who want to grow and work”.

There are many fans who are reaching Primiero: what is the value of all this?
«Huge, also because we are really sorry not to have them near for obvious reasons. It was great to finish last season rejoicing with them, and it’s just as great to have them here now to support us. All our sacrifices are for the club, for us and obviously for them ».
