“The work has never been lacking so far, we have tried to do our best in the difficulties with the aim of maintaining the basic structure composed of Salvo, Lia, Manetta and Ortisi. We also closed with Garofalo, Anatriello and Blue Mamona and tried to keep some players, but we are not masters of anyone’s will. We made our offers, but they chose something else and it doesn’t depend only on us”. This is how the sporting director of ACR Messina began Joseph Peacock taking stock of the situation and announcing two market operations such as those related to the confirmation of Lia, who will arrive in the next few days, and the arrival of Mamona.
“We will place the big and oversized shots mainly in defense and attack, but we have realized that defenders are missing and it is a general lack. – continues Pavone as reported Messinanelpallone.it – We are trying to see who can be right for us even if there are some difficulties also because we are dealing with players who are already in retreat with other teams. Undoubtedly there were also some refusals, even according to what we read in the newspapers.but we are ready to set up a team that follows the dictates of the coach and that has a 4-3-3 as its basic structure, but that is also chameleonic and can change the module during the match. We are convinced that we can build a group that improves more and more under the guidance of mister Modica”.
Space then also for the protest of the square that also emerged recently with the demonstration in front of the Town Hall: “My priority is to set up the football team, the rest doesn’t interest me. We are trying to isolate the group, but no one can prevent certain things from being read and evidently we are suffering the difficulties of the moment. – concludes Pavone – At this moment everyone is making proclamations, we are waiting for the field to speak. Speaking of footballers who want to marry Messina: I’ll tell you an anecdote about Defrel, I hired him when I was in Foggia and we were struggling to find a place in a hotel. He slept in the car, a sign that when there’s passion, a player is willing to do anything to get there”.
