“Bertotto is a great worker and I’m not just saying this out of parochialism or to make him happy. He is a really important worker who has a very important method. He is always balanced in his approach. He always manages to manage the unexpected events of the races.” Thus the sporting director of Giugliano Domenico Fracchiolla he spoke about the team’s coach during the broadcast To All C on the frequencies of TMW Radio also returning to the victory against Juventus Next Gen in the last round: “I think they are a strong team. Against us we were missing many players, both due to the national team and due to injuries. It’s difficult to evaluate a Next Gen. This group, which is different from other years, may have had an impact on them.”

The thing to improve is that we need to be more cynical?
“It’s been the leitmotif since the beginning of the year: we produce a lot but we don’t produce. However, it is a normal thing especially if you have a young and new team. It is a trend that needs to be changed but it takes time. Then it is normal that if we don’t improve in this aspect there will be difficulties in the future.”

Doing better than the previous year has always been Giugliano’s goal, is this still the case?
“Doing better than previous years is always a stimulus. We have taken a different path as we have renewed and rejuvenated the team. The average age is very low with only two players over 30 years old. We decided to reprogram everything and change a lot.”

Are Valdesi, Ciuferri two young people who can be an example of the club’s philosophy?
“Giving young people confidence is important. Many times to see the qualities of young people you have to trust them. I think they should be left free to play. I hope that at the end of the year they will have many important requests, both for themselves and for the Giugliano economy. If the boys were to do well they could be an important capital gain.”

Also thinking about the January transfer market, is midfield the department to invest in?
“I believe that the team is built to be complete in all departments. The potential of Giugliano is this. The first thing to look at is the scope of sustainability, and I don’t think everyone has done that. We need to have balance in things so we don’t have to end up doing 12 outings like last summer. Many contracts are a lot of expenses for the clubs because in football if you do well you ask for more money while if you do badly only the club pays. We must always have a lot of balance, if we lose it, significant damage will be done to clubs.”
