“We started a season in which we had set ourselves objectives, and now, ninety minutes from the end, we need the last effort to achieve the objective we deserve for all the sacrifices we have made and the commitment we have put in what the championship was”: exclusively to the microphones of TuttoMercatoWeb.comit begins like this the offensive winger of Pro Vercelli Matteo Maggio, among the prominent elements of both the Serie C football scene and the Piedmontese club, with whom he scored 12 goals and 8 assists. Which are now worth the “role” of best scorer of the white shirts.
However, they had a season full of ups and downs: “We started off strong – adds the 2002 class – but in the second round we had a small decline, nothing to worry about for me, given that we knew we would get out of it. These are things that in the football can happen. Of course, there is a bit of regret for a few points lost, we could have placed ourselves better in the eventual playoff grid, but in the meantime we’re thinking about getting back into it.”
A tough challenge awaits you, Virtus Verona must also get back into the play-offs…
“We are already focused on the next match, aware that it will be the one of a lifetime both for us and for them, who want to enter the playoffs like us. We are preparing well, as if it were truly a final, and we will do everything to carve out this important space for ourselves” .
On a personal level, how do you rate your year?
“It was probably my best season, I’m satisfied with the numbers achieved, and thanks go to the club, the coach, the staff and my teammates for allowing me to express myself on certain levels. I got a lot of satisfaction, but it’s not yet over, I want the playoffs to then try to have our say: the post-championship journey will be long, and anything can happen.”
Twelve goals are still an excellent haul, regardless of everything. What if I asked you to choose the most beautiful one?
“I’m saying what I would like to try to do on Sunday! Even if I recognize that when the ball goes in it’s always a great emotion.”
Final note at the market, there are many sirens around your name. What do you expect for next season?
“My agent (Silvio Pagliari ed.) will take care of this. Personally, as I’ve already said, I’m only focused on reaching the playoffs with Pro Vercelli. Then on getting as far as possible.”
