Angelo Fabianisports director of Laziohe returned to his past at the microphones of TuttoSalernitana.com, thus answering the question of whether he was sorry to leave the Granata: “When you travel for three years and then another 8, it is normal to leave with regret. You leave friends, people with whom you have shared many things. There are no stones to take away, I have always respected even the most critical people because then they too rejoiced at our promotion to Serie A. From intelligent observations, we can always learn to grow. I don’t care about being regretted, even more so after a relegation for which I feel sorry. I have to admit that I made some mistakes, after all Salernitana made the play-outs twice and this is something that cannot be erased. I know that at times I have been seen as an unpopular character, despite all the talk I have had I even dastored some journalists before the post-promotion amnesty. I was appointed to defend Salernitana, to protect it, to keep it away from situations that I believed could have a negative impact. The strength was to always keep the bar straight without losing compass. But on a professional level it was a great experience.”
How can you explain this involution of Simy?
“It can’t be explained, sometimes you struggle to understand why certain things happen. I just want to clarify, after some time, that the purchase of Simy was attributed to me. In reality, at the time, those who worked with me on the market gave this indication and we moved accordingly. With this I don’t want to avoid responsibility or say that others have taken it. He had scored many goals in Crotone, some hoped it could be repeated in Salerno too.”
Does Salernitana still have to collect something from the sale of Akpa Akpro?
“At the time the player strongly wanted to compete with a higher category championship and, in retirement, he fully convinced Inzaghi since he had the perfect characteristics for his 3-5-2. Now he is a member of Monza. Yes, Salernitana must still collect something for the sale of Akpa Akpro”.
Where will Immobile play next year?
“He is a Lazio player, our captain. He has another two years on his contract and there are no problems from this point of view, nor has he expressed any different wishes.”
