On the sidelines of the presentation of the ‘Partita del Cuore‘ which will be played in Pisa in November, president Giuseppe Corrado focused on current issues to talk about the current Nerazzurri situation in the round, from the next match against Sud Tirol through to some transfer market curiosities.
President, the response against Cesena was important, while Pisa will now face Sud Tirol after the break. How does the team arrive at this commitment?
“After the break it’s always an unknown, but Inzaghi kept everyone on track. We are also evaluating the players returning from the national teams. For example, Marin played both matches and Lucescu considers him a fixed point, but we had the opportunity to recover all the injured”. Both Tramoni and Mlakar, who always seemed not at his best. “Yes, Mlakar scored a great goal for the national team, while Tramoni worked with the medical staff to recover. He will certainly be there on Saturday.”
Are you happy with Lucca’s debut in the national team?
“For us it was another great satisfaction. We also have 10% on resale, so this is a player who will bring more money to Pisa in the future.”
Speaking of economic values, according to Transfermarkt Pisa has increased the value of this summer’s squad by around 15 million euros.
“Yes, Piccinini and Nicholas Bonfanti have doubled their value and we are pleased. It means that we have worked well. We have also increased the value of Giovanni Bonfanti, but it represents a peculiarity, because we will valorise him for Atalanta who, the year Who knows, the next one will open other doors for us. Our policy has always been to not take players on loan unless with the right to buy, but Bonfanti was the player we were looking for in defense and we were also open to a flat loan.”
Always aim for excellence and create value.
“Yes, our goal has always been to bring the team to a level of excellence that the city deserved. This city is full of excellence and we are working to be so too. Even in organizing events such as our favorite match “.
Then there is Lind, a player who is surprising everyone. Can you tell us some summer background on the negotiation?
“Lind is a player that we looked for a lot and had a hard time getting. I can tell you that there were also some Bundesliga teams that wanted to buy him, but our stubbornness gave us the opportunity to make him an important offer that Silkeborg accepted.”
Did you expect this settling-in period?
“In my opinion Lind is a great striker but he had some particular vicissitudes during the summer and arrived poorly trained and overweight. Now he has integrated very well and in my opinion we will talk about him for a long time. He is a force of nature, I always say he’s a Hulk with good feet.”
