Colleagues from Pianeta Serie B interviewed Piero Bragliaformer coach of Cosenza. A thought about him is inevitable Gennaro Onesiethe Neapolitan striker at the center of a debate after the president’s surprise redemption of his card Eugene Guarascio.
“Tutino – said Braglia – when I arrived in Cosenza he was already there, I found a boy who had to stop liking himself, because he played for himself, he was always attached to the number, he came from the Napoli and Maradona school, with certain ideas. My job was to put him into context, but he had and has notable qualities.”
“We are talking about a player who, in my opinion, deserves Serie A. This year he has shown incredible maturity and notable improvements, but he has always known how to play football. There were those who put him on the right, those who put him on the left, they wasted a bit of time because, in my opinion – underlined the former Wolves coach -, he is a first or a second striker, he knows how to do both things well , you can’t ask him anything different. The 20 goals in Serie B, 21 in the season, certify a considerable haul.”
“With regards to Guarascio, it was his right to redeem him by virtue of what was written in the agreements. Did he forget to involve Gennaro and consequently the prosecutor? There we enter into a game of roles that leaves as much time as it finds. In my opinion – added Braglia – the president has done something for Cosenza and for the city. We will have to see if he will have the strength to hold onto the player. It would be complicated to block the figures that a Serie A team could put on the table, given that with that money they could remake the team.”
“Nowadays, if a player says he doesn’t want to stay, what do you do? Do you keep it there? In my opinion Eugenio smelt the investment and thought well. Now, as I was saying, we need to evaluate the management of everything, because Gennaro will have some requests. The agent – concluded the Tuscan coach – is one of the most important of this historical phase, he has a team with great players, Tutino as well as others. They will evaluate and make the best decision for all parties involved.”
