After receiving a standing ovation from the entire stadium, Salva Ferrer spoke to the press, expressing his deep gratitude to the Spezia fans: “I’m filled with incredible adrenaline, this is a moment I’ve been dreaming of for so long. I wanted it so badly, and I’m absolutely thrilled.
Around town, the fans always made me feel how much they wanted to see me back on the field, and that meant everything. My last match felt like ages ago, but once I stepped on the pitch, it suddenly felt so close, it was an amazing feeling, full of emotion.
What was going through my mind? I wanted to show everyone the strength I still have inside and do my part for the team to prove that everything I’ve been through is now behind me.
The first few months after I returned were tough, really tough, but they would have been even harder without my teammates. They’ve supported, encouraged, and helped me every step of the way. I owe them nearly everything. Of course, I made a lot of sacrifices too, but I truly love them for what they’ve done for me, and I’ll be forever grateful.
The coach told me I was going in and treated me like any other teammate, helping me feel that it was just a normal situation. I’m so glad this moment finally came.
There are many similarities between this group and the one from 2020. This is a team where everyone sacrifices for each other. In the playoffs, mentality makes all the difference, you need focus and a desire to win, not too much nervousness, but not too relaxed either. You’ve got to show that you want it. This team has that mindset, we’ve shown it all year long, and we can show it again".
