Alfredo DonnarummaTernana striker, was a guest of Ternana Time. The Fere bomber talks about himself in 360°, these are his words reported by Ternananews.it: “We must always demand more. We have a winning mentality, we must demand more from ourselves. It was a different match against Campobasso, the draw was fine but we know that we have to do more. They were good at waiting for us in midfield , when we played they attacked us. They made it difficult for us to find spaces, in the second half they dropped and we did better. At home many teams will be waiting for us. He is a top coach, he prepared the match in the right way other teams left us space up front, they put a central block. There are these matches where it’s a bit more difficult.”
You play little but when you do you create great dangers. “I really want to do well and help the team. I want to score goals, if I play 20 minutes I try to rock the world, to do as much as possible for the team. Better as a striker or with a teammate? I’ve always played well with someone at my side, we’ve always finished the seasons in double figures, I like to talk to the nearby attacker, for defenses it’s better to face one attacker than two. Abate always wanted to find balance, this was his objective, we are doing well. Those who know me know that I play well with a close attacker, with Pietro we can do well because we have different characteristics. I work to play, I try to give my best regardless.”
You extended your contract and lowered your salary
“I was born for football, money is important for everyone, then I think that in the context in which you find yourself we all have to row on the same side. It was a particular period for the club, I had to do it. It wasn’t obvious, but Terni deserves and I felt like doing it. I did it with all my heart and I would do it again a thousand times. Each of us tries to play at a high level, but it’s a path, each of us has a football journey. I had some difficulties in the last two years, in Terni with some physical problems, in Catanzaro it wasn’t physical, I was fine but there are choices and you have to respect them. I came from two particular years, with the relegation of Ternana you find yourself in Serie C, there are many dynamics in football, I only know how to work and regain on the pitch what they took from you”
Mammarella?
“He was my teammate, I’m happy for him for what he’s been through, seeing him there is a great satisfaction. He lives for football, like everyone else he has to make his own journey, grow and improve. He’s always with us, his presence is essential, it always follows us and is very important.”
Have you talked about Foresti’s farewell?
“Yes, it was a shock for us. Something important had been created, it affected us. We talked about it but we are professionals, in this world we are all passing through. A new company arrives and the most important positions change. We know that It works like this even though we were very disappointed as a team.”
Were you satisfied with the conversation with D’Alessandro?
“Yes, it was important for us to talk to him. He reassured us, it was important for us because we were worried. We can only think about the pitch now, the club has reassured us”
What is your personal goal?
“Bringing Ternana back to Serie B goes hand in hand with my personal objective, never like before. We want to have a great championship, with a promotion it would be easier, to give stability to the square and the city. Double figures? Every year that I start for me It’s the minimum goal. Making double figures is the least I can do. Then there are difficulties in the years, I work towards double figures.
