The best season since he played in the Lega Pro, a driving force in the first round and an unprecedented role discovered in the final of the championship. Lorenzo Sgarbi is certainly one of the protagonists of Avellino’s season: the striker born in 2001 collected 8 goals and 15 assists in 36 appearances with the green and white shirt. A super performance for the twenty-three year old from Bolzano who is a candidate to be the Wolves’ extra weapon in the playoffs: “The important thing is to train with a smile but with high tension, I am convinced that we are preparing well for the playoffs and we will be ready” , he said on ‘Road to playoff’, a format broadcast on Prima Tivvù. Sgarbi also spoke about the opponents: “Two or three hit me, but let’s think about ourselves. We will try to prepare better when we know the opponent.”
The group is united and close-knit, as demonstrated by Monday’s lunch after the morning session: “I think that image says it all. It is a united team that will fight until the end to achieve the set goal.” On the relationship with Patierno: “I made a bet with him, with every assist he would give me something: we’ll do the math at the end of the year.” And on the personal balance: “I arrived here for my first experience in a large square. I hope to improve the numbers between assists and goals, to help the team. Now the personal aspect doesn’t matter, everyone will be needed to achieve the goal.”
Sgarbi commented on the ‘future’ question: “I would like to stay, I have said so in the past. It doesn’t depend exclusively on me, because the card belongs to Napoli. Let’s look at it one step at a time, reaching the goal would pave the way for a stay, but by moving up to B there would be a much better chance.” On the role of midfielder: “I had never done it, not even on the pitch with friends. That’s fine and I’m ready to do anything for the coach.” Comment on the celebration against Benevento: “It was absolutely not polemical. It was too important a goal, I was happy. It was one of the best moments since I’ve been in Avellino.”
