The press conference to present the new ð ƒð «ð šð ð ¨ ð €ð œð ¢ð «ð žð šð ¥ð ž ð ‚ð Ÿ“, born from the merger of the Drago and Acireale C5. Present were the patron Cristiano Ereddia, the managing director Giuseppe Sardo, the general director Pippo Vasta, the director of the technical area Giuseppe Caruso, the manager Emanuele Maugeri and the marketing and commercial directors Maurizio Ciancio and Luccio Di Grazia.
To illustrate the new sporting reality was ð †ð ¢ð ®ð ¬ð žð ©ð ©ð ž ð ‘ð šð «ð ð ¨: “This is a union of a long-lived dragon and a young and successful one in the last three years. The merger took place not because there were two projects in difficulty but was born by virtue of a unity of intent from the first meeting and a common goal: to bring Acireale to the top. One of the pillars of the company will be the new youth sector which is not created because we are obliged to do so: it is something we strongly believe in and which has the aim of creating a sense of belonging in young people. A sector that we have entrusted to ð ‰ð ¨ð ¬ð žð ¥ð ¢ð ð ¨ ð ƒ’ð €ð ð ¨ð ¬ð ð ¢ð §ð ¨, a man of great experience who already knows the given environment who won with Serie C2 with Acireale C5.“
The municipal administration was also present with the mayor ð ‘ð ¨ð ›ð žð «ð ð ¨ ð ð šð «ð ›ð šð ð šð ¥ð ¥ð ¨ who then spoke: “In Acireale, unfortunately, there has been division in sport recently. Today what is happening is important: an economic, human union that can make the movement grow especially through the youth sector. We know what the conditions of the structures are in our city, in our plan we want to build another arena for all sports. We will try to give the city two structures to give more space to sport in the Tupparello area. The administration will certainly support you and I wish you good luck as you carry the name of Acireale high.“
The manager ð „ð ¦ð šð §ð ®ð žð ¥ð ž ð Œð šð ®ð ð žð «ð ¢ added: “We want to get back to making people passionate, step by step. We are laying important foundations for the future with people who understand this sport and the results on the field speak in their favor. I am also pleased to see so many people present, a sign that there is interest around us.”
The General Manager was very excited ð ð ¢ð ©ð ©ð ¨ ð •ð šð ¬ð ð š: “It has always been my dream to carry out a beautiful futsal project in Acireale. In recent years I had promised myself to join forces and I must say that it was easy because I met passionate and competent people. This project was born for Acireale.”
Launching the Drago Acireale C5 brand not only on the field but also in marketing as they declared ð œð ¢ð ¨ ð ƒð ¢ ð †ð «ð šð ³ð ¢ð š: “The Acireale brand can be raised outside the city not only on a sporting profile. I’m sure the administration will stand by us as it has already said. We will try to use our experience to carry forward this new project.”
The director spoke next ð ð žð ©ð ©ð ž ð ‚ð šð «ð ®ð ¬ð ¨: “I thank our patron Battiato because if we are here the credit is above all his. Thanks to the whole club for trusting me in this new course. Mister ð ‘ð žð ›ð ² ð ‘ð œð šð §ð ð ®ð «ð š, the athletic trainer ð Œð šð «ð œð ¨ ð ™ð ®ð ©ð ©ð šð «ð ð ¨ and the preparer of the goalkeepers ð ‘ð ¨ð ›ð žð «ð ð ¨ ð …ð šð ¥ð ³ð ¨ð §ð ž will be our starting points. I would be proud if Acireale was made up only of people from Acireale, I know it is difficult today but I hope that many young people from Acireale can join our cause. However, work doesn’t scare us and we are always hungry.”
Conclusion entrusted again to the CEO ð ‘ð šð «ð ð ¨: “The objective is to lay the foundations to do well, it is a multi-year project. We will continue to be hungry as Peppe Caruso said. Salvation or victory are achieved through hunger. We need to structure ourselves and work, many will expect important names but a winning company is not built with stickers: it takes work and a vision. Our directors know they have responsibilities but they know how to work well and we trust them.”
