Dgreedy Possanzini is ready to disembark B series with his free kick. And he will do it again Mantua to continue to give meaning to a project born, grown and experienced with a very rapid and explosive explosion.
A year ago at this time what were you doing?
«I was an unemployed coach, or rather under contract with the Brescia, but after just two games at the helm of the first team I hadn’t even been able to finish the journey I started with the Primavera. I knew I had ideas, but I didn’t have anyone ready to embrace them».
It all started with a chat with sporting director Cristian Botturi.
«He had seen me work in Brescia, we had known each other for a few years, but it wasn’t certain there was a connection. And yet it didn’t take long to understand that we were on the same wavelength. Football should always be like this. According to Italian customs, what happened to Mantua this year it is the exception and not the rule. Why? Sometimes they say “let’s take the one that does the least damage” but instead if you don’t see football in the same way then it can’t work. After the first meeting with Botturi, he didn’t know what his future would be. I told him I would follow him anywhere. Then Mantova appeared and I accepted even though the repechage was far from certain».
You could have been in D, you find yourself in B after showing fantastic football…
«From the first day of training camp I understood that the players believed in our ideas. An always proactive game, without ever speculating. On the first day immediately the Padua: during the interval I told Botturi that if they were the favourites, then we too would be fighting for first place. Even though the project was three-year and the goal for the first year was the playoffs».
