Two promotions in Serie A, as many in B and C. Marco Giannitti, fresh from his experience as sporting director at Ascoli, waiting for a call – the right one – makes his cards for the A and B championships, with an eye on the his ex Frosinone who will challenge Palermo this evening.
Giannitti, Inter-Napoli is on Sunday. How do you see it?
“Napoli is following a new path. Conte made his mark in two months. Sunday’s match will be an open one. I expect an open match where we will also need to see Inter’s cup efforts.”
The challenge within the challenge?
“Lukaku returning to his ex. He will be the lead actor and I expect him to be the lead soon. But as mentioned, Napoli has a new project where Conte is working a lot on the mentality.”
And Fonseca’s Milan?
“That is also a new project. As a gaming footprint it is not excelling. Then he goes to the Champions League in a big European match and makes the difference, he is in the process of creating another type of attitude and management. If Leao is last year’s player he can be decisive.”
Tonight there is Frosinone-Palermo. In 2018, a match was played that caused a sensation due to the balls on the pitch. And his team celebrated their promotion.
“That victory was deserved. Frosinone deserved it in every way. I agree with what Stirpe said: let’s put the controversy aside”
What comes to mind when you think back to that match?
“What remains of that evening is the great joy of a place that I love, of the second promotion to Serie A. It was a deserved victory, beyond the episode with the balls”.
Frosinone is in trouble in the standings today.
“The relegation was bitter. The team had many injuries. But President Stirpe will have gathered the group and made it responsible. The crisis is temporary.”
Director, are you ready to go again?
“I thank some presidents who had the pleasure of giving me a phone call. I calmly wait for the right project. And I won’t deny that I would like to have an experience abroad, I’m considering it.”
