From the “Capellazzi” room at the sports center on Via Melara, here are the words of Motiejus Šapola, one of Spezia’s new signings who has already scored in the Coppa Italia against Torres: “I’m really enjoying myself here, both with the team and with the coach; my debut against Torres was an indescribable experience, and I even scored a goal, so I can’t help but be satisfied and happy with this start.
The match in Grosseto was tough: the opposing team made good use of the counterattack, and we should have managed our possession better and lost the ball less often to avoid conceding counterattacks; one factor was probably that we didn’t start the game with the same energy we showed against Torres—something we’ve discussed a lot in recent days, knowing that we’ll need more intensity from the very first minute for the next match.
I prefer a four-man defense, but I have no problem playing in a three-man backline: I’m ready to do whatever the team needs.
We’re working hard and well; it’s hard to say when we’ll be able to reach our full potential, but what matters for now is to keep working and always stay focused and determined to improve.
Personally, I always want to give my all, deliver the best performances possible, and do my best to help the team have a great season.
I get along very well with my teammates; we’re working intensely, and day by day our chemistry will keep getting better and better.
The city is truly beautiful; I’ve even had the chance to enjoy a day at the beach, and overall, everything I’ve seen so far is truly beautiful.
What’s my personality like? I’m a down-to-earth guy—not one for many words, but someone with a good head on my shoulders.
A role model? Right now, I think the soccer player I like best in the world of soccer is Van Dijk.”
