The Mayor: “Hellas has never been discouraged. Baroni is a serious man and a courageous coach”
The Mayor of Verona, Damiano Tommasi, spoke about the salvation of Hellas.
Interviewed by the “Corriere di Verona”, Tommasi said: “Luck doesn’t exist in football. There are merits that you have that lead you to obtain certain results. This is the case of Hellas. Who, without a doubt, has done much better this season than last. So, there was only one rival to focus on to stay in Serie A, namely Spezia, who they then defeated in the play-off. Different story for this championship: many competitors, everything more difficult”.
Then: “How was Verona saved? It has always remained in the running. He never gave up, even after those defeats in which you may have feared that you have compromised your path. This is not the case: you miss the train the moment you decide to get off. Verona has never had this type of attitude, they believed in it and achieved salvation. With full credit, I repeat”.
On Marco Baroni, Tommasi commented: ““I played with Marco, I was his teammate in 1995-96, when we were promoted to Serie A, after a wonderful season. He had experience and I was in the early years of my career, he was a reference. As coach of Hellas he showed all those skills, those values that he has: he is a serious man, a coach who has courage”
