Sandro Porchia, right-hand man of sporting director Mirabelli at Padova, has released some statements through the columns of The Gazette to talk about the new technical course started with Matthew Andreoletti: “Since the first evenings spent together with the coach even before he signed what he transmitted to us at the time and is still doing is a great enthusiasm, a great desire to start and a great desire to underline that he has always liked the group of players he has at his disposal and wants to evaluate them in retreat. I must say that he made a great impression on me, transmitting a lot of positivity. His will be a Padova that is always proactive, keeping in mind that it will take time and a lot of work, but his teams, from Pro Sesto to Benevento, have stood out for ball possession, the development of the game almost always from the back and a lot of ideas. The hope is that with the passing of time we can be increasingly united”.
There is also room for another hot topic, the transfer market: “The team is already 80-85% complete. The priority is a striker but when it comes to strikers there are always ten-fifteen teams that would like the strongest ones: we will try to get him, the important thing is that in the end he can sign that player who integrates well with his teammates and who above all can score lots of goals. In the other departments the coach will want to evaluate all the players who are available, after which we will also see how the retreat evolves”.
A closing reserved for the relationship with Mirabelli: “I have known the director since I started playing, I was lucky enough to have him in the first ten years of my career and he taught me a lot, then his call two years ago was wonderful and I was thrilled because he is one of the most important managers in the Italian football scene and being close to him is a daily lesson: up to now he has already transmitted a lot to me”.
