Dimarco: “The year and a half in Verona was the change in my career”

Federico Dimarco, left-footed winger for Interduring his interview with BSMTalso retraced some stages of his career, including the one he considered decisive with Hellas Verona: “That year and a half there in Verona was the change in my little career. It was a combination of things: the coach (Juric, ed.) gave me the opportunity to express my qualities and the director (D’Amico, ed.) was clear from the beginning. Others didn’t do that: in football it’s easy to say things and then don’t act, instead he kept his word. Every time I see them, in fact, I always greet them.”

Dimarco then also spoke about the other experiences he had away from Inter, such as Empoli and Sion in Switzerland. “I went on loan to Empoli, a year where I played 13-14 matches but I didn’t play much. The following year I had teams that wanted me, but as a young reserve for the more experienced starter. I wasn’t up for it. agreement and I went to Switzerland”.

On the Swiss parenthesisinstead, he says: “I started off very well with Sion, first match of the championship and broke my metatarsal: I was out for four months. I returned after the coach had changed, in January we were last and penultimate and something crazy happened. The president had a great idea to send us to serve as a soldier with the French special forces, as punishment since we were last. We slept in the fields with our sleeping bags. We woke up at 6 in the morning, walked 5-6 km, and ate from cans that we warmed up with oven. We did it at the beginning of January, during the winter break. When they told me I didn’t want to go, but if you did they wouldn’t pay you. An extreme experience, training in which they even made us shoot we were last. When we returned we were more energetic, but I argued with the coach and I didn’t play again until the end of the year.”
