“I still have the adrenaline of the market on me” like this Pantaleo Corvino begins the interview given to the pages of Allsports. The sporting director of Lecce, in fact, spoke about his career, but also about the last market built for the new season of the Giallorossi: “It was a very complicated and tiring summer. We only saved ourselves at the end of the season, then immediately after I had to work for the confirmation of Gotti. Then the negotiations to give him the right squad. The bar of the fight to avoid relegation was raised a lot. It was a tough, exhausting, complex market”. The effort, however, seems to be repaid by the ambition to work for his people and his land, as he says during the chat with the newspaper. Then, however, the thought goes to the field where Lecce will meet a Torino overwhelmed by the protests towards Cairo: “I can only say that I feel sorry for him, knowing him.
But, I repeat, I look at my own house, not elsewhere. I know that the protest broke out because he sold important players, but sometimes clubs are forced to do so for the good of the team and the budgets, in front of players who aspire to other salaries and other ambitions. (…) Let’s talk about the good incoming operations made by Toro? First of all Vanoli: he has such international experience that has allowed him not to let anyone notice the fact that he was making his debut in Serie A. Seen from the outside, he is working very well. Just like Gotti, he has knowledge, charisma, a work ethic, tactical versatility and is also a frank and decent person. Toro has started the championship very well thanks to the new coach, but also thanks to the good operations made by the club. In fact, it can also fight for Europe, with Vanoli and the well-designed and complete squad it has. Selling well, finding new talents at a low price every time and also getting results on the pitch is my life, but I would say that this model of sustainable football is also the method that Cairo’s Torino is following, obviously at a much higher level”.
