“Last year a Champions League team looked for me, I stayed and today I’m fighting to avoid Serie C. In the event of relegation I would be the only one who no longer has a contract”. Yesterday evening the sporting director of Bari Ciro Polito has revealed a double background to the transfer market: one linked to last summer and the other to the renewal signed last September.
“I believe I am primarily responsible, but not the only one. I’ve always put my face to it. Pointing fingers at someone is a mistake, but I’m angry. Ternana is a team of young people, we have a lot to lose. Last year I could have gone to a Champions League team, but instead I’m fighting for C. – explains the sporting director in the press conference – I’m the only one who doesn’t have a contract in case of C. My players and I will go to battle to Terni to bring the minimum wage, salvation”.
Space then, as reported Tuttobari.com to the relationship with the owners: “President De Laurentiis has always been close to me, we fought together in a difficult season. As long as I live I will fight, I have given a lot to this city, in two years we won a lot, in the third there were difficulties. The company has always been by my side. Whatever happens, I will sit down with the owners, and we will discuss the future. I have no problem continuing even after the attackthat was a single episode between two fans, but Bari is something else and has nothing to do with that story.”
Finally, a step back on the choices, especially on the bench, which did not fully convince the public and insiders: “Everything that has been done is part of the past. This season I learned a lot. I challenge anyone to say that he would have left Mignani after June. Marino gave some points, but we all wanted more. We signed Iachini by popular acclaim, but the spark never struck. Bari will be saved because it owes a debt to this city that doesn’t deserve this stage. We have to go and eat our opponents and earn our salvation. As much as it hurts the fans, it hurts us.”
