Samuele Ricci‘s first words after his arrival at Turin: “Historic square, here to repay the trust of the management and the fans”
Samuele Ricci, the new acquisition of Torino, spoke to the microphones of Torino Channel: “I said yes to Toro for the huge square it is, it’s historic, then because I consider it the right environment to grow with the coach and my new teammates. I came here to repay the trust that the director, the coach and above all the president have immediately shown in me, so I wanted to thank them. I spent many years in Empoli, but in this job at some point you have to make the leap. He could have arrived like this when he was young or later, but I wanted to thank all of Empoli. How is the Taurus to deal with? They proved to be a tough team. When we played here with Empoli he put us in great difficulty, it’s a tough, physical team, with great players and it’s a team that makes intensity its main weapon. Juric? I expect a very tough and severe coach, but for a young player it is the best way to grow. There may not be easy moments, but it can make me grow “.
The jersey number and the study at the University
Ricci continues: “My most outstanding feature is the vision of the game and the ball on the ground, but I think I have others too, it will be the pitch that will decide. The jersey number? I chose 28 because it is my dad’s birthday. I chose it right away when I started playing in the greats and got it tattooed on me. And also in this adventure I decided to keep it. His birthday is on August 28, a week after me. I have a wonderful relationship with my family, they have helped me a lot in my life, they are very close to me both for what I do on and off the pitch “. Ricci studies economics at the University: “I try to carry on at the same time this thing, even if sometimes it is not easy. It is an opportunity to open your mind also to the world around us, sometimes we are stuck in the world of football while the world outside is different. My family passed it on to me right away. Social? I am always a boy like any other, we are in the age of technology, I also use social media but I don’t give it so much importance “. Greetings to the fans: “Many have written to me, I was immediately pleased. Thank you and I will try to repay you on the field “.
