Di Michele talks about the match against Salernitana that did not take place “Udinese is showing compactness with the new technical management”

THE INTERVIEW

It is the summer of 2001 when Salernitana is hanging by a thread, on the verge of bankruptcy. To save it is the sale of a striker who scored 48 goals in 102 games in a grenade shirt. That player is David Di Michele, whom Gino Pozzo buys for 24 billion old lire, with a “last minute” transfer made possible also by the payment of the back wages that the then Campanian patron Aniello Aliberti owed to what would later become a striker from Udinese.

Di Michele, after exactly twenty years, “his” Salernitana still finds herself hanging by a thread and on Tuesday she did not show up in Friuli …

«The situation is surreal, because arriving at 23 December and thinking that in eight days a club, a city and an important supporters, which move en masse in away matches, can disappear is very sad. I had the honor of playing in Salerno and also for this reason I hope that the fans can find the people who give the club a new luster ».

Udinese wanted to play the other night. Have the bianconeri been penalized?

“I would say yes because Cioffi’s team is doing well, having become aware of their own means, showing compactness, and in a dimension of this kind it would have been better for the Bianconeri to play, but also for Salernitana it would have done well to forget the problems and try to redeem himself after Inter ».

From 3-0 at the table to the possible recovery. What scenarios?

“The most current is the risk of exclusion from Campania which would upset the championship by redesigning the ranking by removing points from those who won them, while for those who are experiencing it from inside Salerno, it seems to me a situation with little serenity that does not offers the future “.

Di Michele, Udinese benefited from the change on the bench. Had it ever happened to you to pass into the hands of a player’s deputy?

“No. It never caught me, but I think it was a smart choice because the deputy knows the dynamics of the locker room and the players well: I think this factor has helped Cioffi from many points of view. The deputy is seen in a different way, usually the players expose themselves more with the deputies than with the technicians, then it depends on how good he is at creating relationships ».

Impressions about the game and the attitude?

«I saw an excellent Udinese with Milan, one of the best in terms of how and plays with momentum, and in the end he concluded with a bad taste in his mouth after a high-level match. In Cagliari he dominated, demonstrating that when he’s there with the mentality, it’s a team that has its say ».

That Gerard Deulofeu in which he said to meet again is growing up.

«That’s how it is and you don’t have to give it a specific role, but make it vary where it wants. He just needs to understand that not all balls have to go through his feet, but I think that in that role as second striker he can express the inspiration he has ».

We close with an initial final balance sheet.

“The revelations for me are the Venice of my friend Paolo Zanetti, Fiorentina, with the Italian who managed to get Vlahovic and an entire city to agree, and Empoli.”

Scudetto race?

“Inter seem to have something more, but I know Spalletti and he has given a great mentality to his Napoli.” –
