About the crossing with the ex, D’Aversa said: “There should be no sentimentality in football, we know what a miracle Nicola worked last year. Yesterday we had training behind closed doors, and yet there was someone spying on our training. When you go on the pitch there should be no sentimentality, they will want to beat us just as we want to”.
Fabrizio Corsi also expressed his opinion on Empoli’s clash with Nicola’s Cagliari in the last few hourspresident of the Tuscans: “We will make a statue of him, when we have time. I was disappointed that he left, but we know that those who do well here and have an opportunity, take advantage of it. When we kept people who had a market, we made a mistake. And we will do it again”. And on D’Aversa he said: I see how D’Aversa works, he corrects the players during training to improve them. He has identified a group of Primavera boys to work on and is finding the courage to launch them. He knows how many players who started from Empoli have arrived in the Champions League”.
