The defender Thomas Barnaba, he commented on his second season with the Ancona shirt like this: “Initially I found space with a coach who had made me play as a starter also in last year’s playoffs, with the change of coach and the return of Colavitto I found a little ‘ less space but with Boscaglia I had the opportunity to return to play in different roles, acting as a bit of a wildcard. In the end, having made twenty appearances, I evaluate this year quite positively. At team level, however, we spent most of the championship with a coach we already knew but with different elements compared to the previous year and above all we came from a different idea of play inculcated by Donadel which was a bit distorted during the year. It wasn’t easy, but luckily someone like that came along Bush which managed to amalgamate all these game ideas and lead us to the main objective which was that of salvation”.
DECISIVE AGAINST SESTRI
“I didn’t participate with goals or assists, but that intervention against Sestri was like scoring a goal. That match didn’t start very well but I was absolutely convinced, like the rest of the team, that I could win it. Some episodes didn’t turn out in our favor but luckily I managed to intervene on that lob and the match went downhill from there. I’m happy to have contributed with this rescue.”
THE FUTURE
“I have a contract until 2025, my desire is to stay but the appropriate assessments will have to be made together with the club and then my future will be outlined, which I hope will be in Ancona. Since his arrival the coach has provided excellent foundations, his great experience and knowledge of the category is very important, especially for the younger boys. He is certainly an added value for this club, he makes everyone play well and gives a great team spirit to everyone, and this is an important thing in the locker room. The role of sporting director is fundamental in a club, both for us footballers as a point of reference and for the club itself. At the end of the season the proximity of Roberta Nocelli she was fundamental, she was the person who had always been there, to whom we could always refer.”
