Possanzini third act: “Next Mantua, the future is here”

If a couple of months ago they had banned Davide Possanzini’s confirmation, the fee would have been very low. Instead, arrange all the benches of A and B, in the end that of Mantua has not changed.

Is it possible that nobody searched it?

“They looked for me, I have to be honest. But I immediately convinced myself that the best choice was to stay here. I also promised it when we left, we had given us three years of work, I had given a word. And the company was splendid”.

The happiest man of this choice is President Filippo Piccolo. He too was skeptical.

“He and the Botturi director have always given me confidence, even in moments of difficulty. They believe in what I do, I know I can work well and around I don’t know if I would find better. When I called the Pres to tell him that I stayed, he thought I wanted to greet him. And instead all happy!”.

She said she was attracted to an experience abroad.

“There will be time later.”

It cannot even be said that Mantua is a fallback …

“My fear is that I pass this message. No, Mantua has always been my first option. The cognitive chats I made have never gone on because I consider the most important Mantua”.

After an exciting promotion and a serene salvation, is it a year zero or another step?

“We have to understand who we are. B has been a new experience for many, now you have to grow.”

A few columns of the team was gone.

“We want to understand what way to take. Burrai is still here and has to decide, he is the captain and there is esteem, but we cannot depend on him, given the age: if it remains he knows that he will see the less field. Redolfi, Panizzi and Muroni are out, while Brignani went to Spain in a team that wants to climb the La Liga: for us it is a reason for pride”.

Scouting now has no more limits.

“The players must understand that the showcase has become international and have to think differently. Generally they look at the money first, then the team’s blazon and finally the game proposal, but now the third is fundamental, because this scouting can open you important doors”.

Will the new Mantua be with the same 4-2-3-1?

“Basically, yes, then over the season we change. As last year, since the opponents study you: you always have to work on the principles and then change from time to time”.

Compared to when she played (338 games) how Serie B changed?

“Today there is more balance. Once the players once more affected, who made the difference; now the game organization does. But we are going in the direction in which a talent must be expressed in the best way within the organization to make you win the game. And the Sassuolo of last year, sometimes unusable, is the clear example”.

In the next B will the struggle for salvation be even more compelling compared to that for A?

“Many teams are moving well, there will be great pressure until the last minute. Many episodes will be decisive and the point will make the difference. Take out those 3-4 teams, with all the others you play it. This is the beauty of the championship”.

A novelty that intrigues it?

“I see many very prepared coaches, for this reason there are always many difficulties on the field. The new teams intrigue me, between relegated and newly promoted: they are the ones who affect the general performance, we must see how they fit into the new category”.

She will be a former twice. The first against Palermo: is the great favorite?

“Given the team they are doing I would say yes. I hope inzaghi doesn’t curse me …” (laughs)

The second will be against Sampdoria, the team most in difficulty today.

“Well I’m sorry. I know that square, putting that shirt is not for everyone, I’m really sorry to see it like this. I am happy remained in B, I hope to be the protagonist in Italian football”.

In your opinion, between Aquilani, Bianco and Possanzini for those who cheer your mentor de Zerbi?

“I think he is happy to see three colleagues who grew up with him in this championship, I would like to see one of our game.”

The new calendar will be revealed on 30 in Mantua: who would like to start against?

“A beautiful tough team, but at home. Let’s say Palermo or Venice, immediately a nice crash test”.
