“I am very happy with this opportunity, Ferrara was certainly one of my desired destinations and I am equally happy that both the president and the technical director liked me. I bring with me a lot of enthusiasm and I know that the city, the team and the fans expect something better, to rejoice together again. What I can guarantee is that from today I will be totally available to the Club and that my players and I will give 1000%.“.
The new SPAL coach Andrea Dossena he spoke like this in the press conference about his new adventure in Emilia, explaining that he wanted to first speak with all the players in the squad before making decisions on the future team: “I arrived last night and obviously I haven’t made any choice yet, but before making it I want to talk to everyone, because I want to look them in the eyes and understand whether they are on my side or not. – continues Dossena as reported on the club website – You win with work, sacrifice, the desire to sacrifice yourself and being a group: my biggest difficulty at the moment is that there is little time, football is becoming increasingly faster and doesn’t wait for you, so I’ll have to be good at making my DNA understood from the first minute.”
“I will choose only those players who, looking into my eyes, will make me understand that they want to be there. The technical value is important but not fundamental, desire and heart are more needed and I will choose those who will make themselves completely available, who will be available to return to home in the evening destroyed by the work done and returning the next day more full of energy than the day before”.
“Personally I prefer the 4-3-3 but I follow the needs of the players, because I believe that from time to time it is necessary to read the situations and tailor the clothes to the kids’ size.”
“It didn’t take me long to choose SPAL honestly, but I was convinced by the positive approach, the great desire and the mentality of a president who has the desire and hunger for victory: this is what unites us and can allow us to do something that in the last two years it hasn’t succeeded here. I want people to have fun at the stadium, but when I have to be pragmatic I will be, because we will always have to try to bring home the result.”
