PRESS ROOM | Mazzitelli with the media

Among the protagonists of the draw in Cremona, Rossoblù midfielder Luca Mazzitelli spoke to the media after the match at the “Zini” stadium.

STRENGTH AND CHARACTER
“Tonight we showed great teamwork, great strength. It wasn’t easy to come back from this match. We did it, and we’re happy. We’ve bounced back from a direct rival. My chance to score? Maybe I could have done better, maybe I should have kicked differently, but I hope the goal comes soon. I’m happy for Yael; it’s a day he’ll never forget: he made the most of my open pass, he double-checked with his thigh, and he volleyed in a first-time winner. Congratulations, he helped us get this draw.”

IN THE HEART OF THE GAME
“This year, I didn’t get much playing time at the start. I tried to work hard and be ready, without looking for excuses. Now my fitness is improving, and I’m happy with these matches: I’m getting more minutes in my legs, I’m getting closer to my best form, and I hope to help the team. The manager Angelozzi, who has helped me throughout my career, gives me extra peace of mind. My role? I like playing in a two-man midfield, but I can also play as a midfielder or a playmaker. Football is dynamic; depending on the situation, you find yourself in different areas of the pitch, also depending on how the opponents are lined up. The important thing is to be in the thick of the action. I’m focused on the next match; it won’t be easy against Genoa: let’s hope we put in a great performance and bring home a great result.”

A HEALTHY AND UNITED GROUP
“I want to put my experience to good use for my teammates. The absences of Folo and Deiola are significant, I hope they can return soon. Alessandro, however, wanted to come with us anyway to be close to the team. He, like our captain Pavoletti, sets an example for us every day: we have many players in the group whose experience shows us the way forward. We have young players who train well, have the right attitude, it’s really easy to be in this group, we’re united.”
