From the Follo training center, here’s what the Aquilotti’s new goalkeeper, Alessandro Micai, had to say to the press: “First of all, I want to thank all the fans for the welcome they’ve given me. Over the years, we’ve faced each other on many occasions, and those matches have always been very exciting, difficult, and closely contested, but today I’m here, and I’ll do my very best for Spezia.
When Spezia showed interest, I didn’t hesitate for a moment—I was eager to come here, to a major club whose history certainly needs no introduction from me. We all know this is a unique moment in the club’s recent history—one that deserves to be on a much bigger stage—and I’ll do my best to put my experience to work for the team, support my teammates, and give it our all every time.
Last year’s match at the “Picco”? I won’t deny that in that match I made several saves at Spezia’s expense, but when you’re on the field, you always give your all for the team you’re playing for at that moment—and at the time, I was Reggiana’s goalkeeper and didn’t yet know I’d end up here: regardless of who you’re facing, your dedication on the field must be total at every moment.
Coach Turati? He’s a very knowledgeable coach who shares a lot of insights with us goalkeepers as well. I love learning from this type of coach—one who’s hungry and eager to put his ideas into practice, which we then have to know how to execute on the field.
Competition between the posts? The stronger my teammates are, the better it is for all of us. It’s always important to maintain a high level of play, because that way everyone benefits—first and foremost Spezia, which comes first; the coach makes the decisions, and we’re all here to give everything we’ve got for the good of the club and its fans.
We’re facing a league I haven’t played in for a decade, but in which it will be crucial not to let our focus slip and to always give 100%, because every game is worth three points, regardless of who the opponent is; we need to stay on track, know how to handle the difficult moments that are bound to come, and always stay sharp, because the league is long and the season even longer.
I’m fortunate to have professionals here like Di Norscia and Pegolo—extremely knowledgeable people who understand what it means to be a goalkeeper and who do everything necessary to ensure that every matchday is productive and runs as smoothly as possible.”
