From the training camp in Pontremoli, here are the first words from Riccardo Sganzerla as a Spezia player: “My first impressions are definitely positive; I’ve been welcomed very warmly by the whole team, and I’m really happy to be here and ready to take on the new season.
Spezia’s jersey certainly carries a lot of weight—we have a passionate fan base, and our ambitions are high. I believe that if I’ve made it this far, it’s thanks to hard work and humility, values that are dear to me and that have earned me this opportunity: I’ll do my very best to contribute to the team.
This year I’m making the switch from playing in a three-man defense to a four-man defense, and I’m trying to learn from my more experienced teammates and listen carefully to the coach’s instructions. My strengths? My physicality definitely helps me a lot in both aerial and ground duels, but I don’t shy away from building play from the back either—quite the opposite.
There’s that healthy pressure here that’s essential in a soccer career, and when the opportunity arose, I didn’t hesitate for even a second to accept Director Angelozzi’s offer, because Spezia was exactly what I was looking for: I’m sure this new adventure will give me a lot and help me grow day by day.
Coach Turati? I’d heard a lot of good things about him, and everything I was told is proving true; clearly, he demands a lot from us defenders because that’s the role he played during his career, and for us, it’s a pleasure to listen to him. I can also say that he has important ideas and clear concepts about the game.
It’s only the second day, but we’re trying to gel quickly, and I think we’re succeeding because there’s a strong desire to work for the good of Spezia.”
