Francesco Zampanodefender of Venicespoke this afternoon at Radio TV Serie A: “It was a tough year, but we are very happy to have brought Venezia back to Serie A. I still have that defeat against Spezia on the last day of the regular season in my mind. We did well to recharge and win the playoffs. From first day the staff made us run and prepared us to reach a great finish line”
Vanoli factor. “Mister Vanoli was fundamental. He regrouped a group that no longer seemed to be so motivated. He took us second to last in the standings and in two seasons we grabbed Serie A. Vanoli gave us a winning mentality. He’s a winner, he has also demonstrated at Spartak Moscow, he encouraged us to overcome our limits every day: and we did so Vanoli”.
The city of Venice “We are proud to have undertaken this journey with the Venetians. The celebrations were something extraordinary, unique. Rejoicing with your fans on the boats in the water, only in Venice can you enjoy a similar show. Now the enthusiasm is sky high and we We will do everything to ensure this magic does not fade.”
Pohjanpalo and Gytkjaer “The striker Pohjanpalo and the other Viking Gytkjaer were phenomenal. However, the whole group made the difference compared to other teams. Those who came on gave more than 100%, those who didn’t play gave us advice from the bench.”
External lanes “I’ll take a few days off now but I can’t wait to get back on track to study my opponents. I’m very motivated because I’ll be back in Serie A more aware. The most fascinating duel will be with Theo Hernandez. He’s an extraordinary player.”
The twin Giuseppe “With Giuseppe we grew up at Sampdoria. We shared various experiences together. Entella gave the incipit to my career. My brother in Venice won with Venezia from C to B and triumphed in the Lega Pro Italian Cup. Now it was my turn. Thanks to Giuseppe I chose Venice, it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I still remember the call with my twin at the time of signing.”
