Speaking from Santa Cristina, Francesco Cassata, one of the leaders in the Spezia locker room, shared his thoughts: “It’s always great to be back with my teammates and the staff after the summer break. I’ve found a group with the right energy to start fresh, and we’re all eager to work hard and be ready when the time comes.
I feel lucky, because this marks my third season wearing this jersey, and for me, it’s a special feeling. As always, I’ll try to pass on what it means to wear these colors to the younger players, and share with them the emotions that come with it.
Last season was incredible, probably the one I enjoyed the most in my career, and those memories are something we should never forget. We need to remember the path we took last year and try to build on it, even though we know how tough this league can be.
To the new guys, my advice is simple: give everything you’ve got and fight for the jersey. If they do that, I’m sure the fans will recognize and appreciate them.
At the start of the season, every team starts from the same place. In a balanced league like Serie B, it’s crucial to give your best every day, starting here in training camp. Once the season begins, we’ll take it one game at a time and see how far we can go, but first, we need to focus on working hard, day in and day out.
There will be matches that mean a little more to our fans, of course, but I believe we need to approach every game with the same mentality. In a tough league like this, it’s the attitude that makes the difference.
Right now, we’re focusing a lot on fitness work, we’ll get to tactics later. This is the time to put fuel in the tank.
Preseason is all about regaining focus, rebuilding our chemistry and raising our fitness levels so we’re ready for the first official matches.
Personally, I’d love to get back on the scoresheet, since it’s been a while for me. But what matters most is seeing Spezia win.
Our fans are always behind us, they never leave us on our own. I’m sure they’ll be our twelfth man again this year".
