Cristoforo Filetti, Sicilian, is one of the athletic preparers of Luis Enrique: “Here I live my dream every day, but tomorrow I would like to work with the national team”
“We thought we were stronger than Inter, but we did not believe that the values in that game were so marked in favor of the Paris Saint Germain”, thus begins the athletic trainer of the PSG, Cristoforo Filetti, on the sidelines of a award ceremony that saw him protagonist in his Acireale in the province of Catania. There is a piece of Italy, then in the Champions League, won with merit by the team coached by the Spaniard Luis Enrique. “In our opinion, the error of Inter has been pressed in our half of the field, in this way they opened remarkable spaces and for our stellar attack it was very simple to sink”. Graduated from the “Tor Vergata” University, he was part of the technical staff of Rome, Salernitana and Lodigiani, before landing, in 2020, at PSG. “The secret? I believe that Luis Enrique (who falling by bike fractured the clavicle in these days) was very skilled to know how to mix grit, mental, physical aspect of approach to the race, I think is one of the strongest coaches in the world at the moment”.
He trained, as an athletic trainer, champions of the caliber of Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane dembélé, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Lionel Messi: is there a secret in these axes of world football?
“The players are real professionals as few are seen around. They always think of the football company, for this reason they live the 24 hours of the day always thinking about training, nutrition, sleep quality and other details that make them unique. Ousmane dembélé in particular, I believe it will become the next Golden Ball. For the Champions League I believe that the opponents of the PSG are the British, especially Arsenal and City. Germans the only Bayern.
Looking in Italy, for the championship just started, what could be the team to beat?
“Napoli I think is the favorite also this year for the Scudetto. Conte has managed to build a strong team in all the departments, he will fight until the end with Inter and Juventus, but in my opinion, he has the numbers to continue the cycle”.
An eye to the national team: what do you think of the change on the bench?
“Gattuso brought a winning and great fighter mentality, together with Buffon and Bonucci, are shaping a large group. We will certainly participate in the World Cup”.
Why so many difficulties among the blues? Italy has caught a series of unprecedented negative results.
“The first 5 teams in the ranking in our championship do not have Italian attackers: Fiorentina has a good player, Kean, he is also showing him in the national team. The bomber crisis is one of the reasons why the blue team is hardly”.
The dream of a 39 -year -old young man and future prospects?
“I have already been experiencing a dream since 2020, for the future I would like to be part of the Italian national team at the World Cup, it is not easy, for the moment I work hard with the PSG, which I repeat is already a dream”.
