Antonio Amodio
“We need to bring the enthusiasm back to Crotone.” This is the diktat of Antonio Amodionew sporting director of Crotone, who presented himself at a press conference today. There is then immediate space to talk about the playoff formula: “The format is wrong, perhaps due to the excessive number of clubs participating in it. I’m talking about meritocracy from an economic-financial point of view. In my opinion, the category must be contested by clubs that they are in place first from that point of view, that they are solid and stable. It is not right to have competitions where the club has such high differences in level, but now I don’t want to hold a conference on the format, but we need to find a solution on management. it is better to try a reform suited to the number of teams and perhaps to give certain places a little more visibility because they still have a more important catchment area. Perhaps in the NBA alone there are 30 teams competing, but it is another type of format and there are other types of money at stake would be something to review.”
On the coach and the transfer market: “There is no point in hiding, in a few days we will make official Mr. Emilio Longo who has done very well with Picerno in the last two years. As regards the transfer market, it is premature to talk about it now. We have players who have to leave, we already have We have a clear idea of what the team of the future should be. As far as negotiations are concerned, I prefer to avoid them others confirming this. However, we are very vigilant on the transfer market and as mentioned we must think about exits first also because we have a fairly large squad. We need to re-plan a team that can recreate the enthusiasm that this place deserves has strength, intensity and quality. What the coach asked of us but it is also our way of playing football.”
