“The immediate feelings for this renewal are of gratitude, affection and pride. I definitely have to thank the club because it continues to believe in Pavoletti, despite everything. But also above all to the city of Cagliari and the Sardinia region, because they show their affection towards me every day, every match, every training session. So this renewal is also thanks to you because you have truly pushed me to love you and to love this place, but above all to try every Sunday to give my best and make all my teammates give their best. It’s truly a beautiful gift to wake up every morning in Cagliari.”
“These seven years have passed quickly, but they have been full of successes and disappointments. I remember very well both my entrance, my first foot landed at Elmas airport, as well as the last great battle for a truly great salvation. The second year was a beautiful championship, full of goals, but above all the birth of my first child, then moving on to the third which was my great worry, because with a strong team and a very exciting championship in the first part, I could just cheering for the knee injury. Then the year of rebirth, of the awareness of Pavoletti’s return because everyone thought I was a goner after the two crusaders. And instead in the struggle for salvation and in the most intense, most difficult period, I was ready, so that also gave me a lot of inner strength because it wasn’t easy. He had not been put in the best conditions to give everything. Then we move on to the disastrous year of relegation and unfortunately it is a year where everything went wrong, on our part first and foremost and we have always assumed our responsibilities. In this year, however, I cannot forget the second birth of my son Brando.”
“Then two beautiful years, with the promotion, the return of our coach Claudio Ranieri and this salvation. The season just passed in three flashes: the match against Frosinone, the meeting after the match against Lazio where the coach wanted to try to resign and we held on to him, then the salvation of Reggio Emilia. Mister Ranieri has followed a beautiful path and we must carry forward his principles. We will need all of Cagliari and all of Sardinia. I hope to return to scoring more than I have in recent years, I’m working for this, it will be an intense two years.”
