Gigi Molinoformer Wolves striker, current coach ofAvellino Under 17responsible for the cantera project, was a guest on Contatto Sport, a Prima Tivvù format, where he spoke about various topics.
These are his words: “Rediscovered self-esteem, a re-united environment, everything is there to make a great playoff. You have to face them with great confidence and humility, respecting all your opponents. But I believe that everything is really there to get to the post well. season”.
On Pazienza: “He is very good, I am convinced that in the playoffs he will give us great satisfaction together with the team. A very humble, serious person, I wish him to take us to Serie B, spend many years here in Avellino and then take flight towards the higher categories which deserves it”
On Patierno: “He is a very strong striker for his category, he participates a lot in the maneuvers, he helps the team. He is a complete player, a fundamental element for this squad”
On Perinetti: “A great man of value, depth, expert in the world of football. He was certainly important, especially in difficult moments. I believe that Avellino has everything to make great playoffs. Director Perinetti is a weapon more for Avellino”.
On the successes of the Under 17s: “We are a big family, we hope that it will be the right year for the D’Agostino family, for Avellino in B, but also for the youth teams, where we can give immense satisfaction to the owners”
Strongest opponent in the playoffs: “I would avoid Vicenza in the first round. A strong team, which is finishing in growth, which is doing well. It has a large square, a fan base right next to the pitch, which, if compact, makes the difference. Furthermore, he has Stefano Vecchi as a coach, as well as being very prepared, he will certainly want to avenge the playoffs lost in Avellino when he coached Sudtirol.”
On the playouts: “It’s going badly for Potenza. Getting to the playouts like this due to a last second goal from Monterosi is a psychological blow. On paper they are superior to the Lazio team, with two draws they can even save themselves. But Monterosi now arrives with the wings of enthusiasm for having avoided relegation at the last second and I see them as favorites over the Lucanians”
On the Under 17 playoffs: “Great championship, we did very well, 10 wins in a row, best attack, best defense in Italy at student level. Now we will rest for 4-5 days, then we will prepare. We will face the third of group C, between Benevento, Pescara, Perugia. Tough match, but we’re fine, we’ll play it.”
Some guys who can explode: “I believe that in the entire youth sector, there are 10 guys with great prospects where the ownership will be able to make capital gains in a few years or maybe keep them and make them explode, maybe in B and A”.
