After interviewing mister Gennaro Ruotolowe also had the assistant coach of the Under 18 rossoblù tell us about the victory of the Under 18 scudetto this morning, Paul Mazzieri.
“The emotion is great, we are all happy. Things happened that would take an hour and a half to describe, it was a succession of emotions and facts, both in Ancona and during the year. Emotions and facts that turned into this championship, in some ways quite unexpected given how it had started right away. Little by little, however, we closed ourselves in our shell, in our Lagaccio, in our fields and we transformed this suffering into a championship.”
These guys amazed, but even before the technical part which has improved a lot – Genoa Under 18 was one of the teams to have played the best football -, from the outside there was the feeling of a strong group…
“Certain. You saw clearly, I understood it even before because I’ve already known them for 4/5 years. It’s a special group. It is the first in which I see that, in important matches, players who are no longer part of this squad and perhaps are in the Primavera team and have Sunday or Monday afternoon off are also present. And they are always present with us. I think we should be a group of one hundred people (in acknowledgments, ed). I throw everyone into it: the technicians who trained these kids in previous years, the fields where we train, the warehouse workers who take us to the field, psychologist and tutor. I would include everyone: this championship is a bit of all these people. That “we” also includes the work of Andrea Bianchi and the cantera“.
“The other day I received a photo of these boys ten years ago – continues Mazzieri – An amazing photo where they were having a distant tournament. This union, this knowledge and this brotherhood made the difference in Ancona and during the year. I also wanted to thank the guys who suffered serious injuries, such as Camilletti And Pelican, but they always made themselves seen and heard. And they were partly present in Ancona. And thanks also to Barbiniwho didn’t make it at the last minute, and to those in Ancona who didn’t play, but who always made themselves heard, charging the band without ever complaining”.
