During the press conference held to present the player, the full-back Nadir Zortea he also had the opportunity to talk about the possible return to Cagliari of Gianluca Gaetanohis teammate at Cremonese: “I hope to play with him again, after having been together at Cremonese, because he is a footballer of incredible quality. Maybe I will be surprised to find him here again…”, these are the statements of the midfielder who returned to Naples from last season’s loan in Sardinia.
Zortea then continued on his personal choice: “I arrived at Atalanta very young, I had an important growth path there that led me to have several experiences on loan in recent seasons. My chapter in the Nerazzurri was over, so when I heard about Cagliari’s interest and the possibility of coming permanently, I was immediately impressed, I really wanted to embrace a new project like this.
I’m really happy, I look forward basing everything on the attitude to work and trying to take the best from those around me. Models? There are many, now we play a lot with a three-man defense and this way of playing enhances the full-backs a lot, if I have to name one I think of Theo Hernandez who plays the role with enormous completeness in both phases.
Running ability is my main characteristic, I am a player with an offensive attitude who can cover different positions on both sides of the pitch. Nandez’s legacy? I live it with a great sense of responsibility, it is a stimulus to do my best and leave a mark on Cagliari, this season and in the future”.
