The “Professor” of the historic triplet of 2015 is looking forward to starting Mekowulu again: “Fantastic project”. Diop: “I’m here to make the leap in quality”
SASSARI. Dinamo introduces itself. Among the new faces there are those who sometimes return, such as the American playmaker David Logan, the “Professor” who with Dinamo won the Scudetto, Supercoppa and Coppa Italia, the historic treble of 2015. “Sassari is a place where I won so much, I am very happy to be here again. I have many years of experience behind me, I’m not worried. I talked for a long time with the coach, I know what he expects from me and I am ready to make my leadership available ». After the experience in Treviso, coach Cavina strongly wanted him to perfect the European dimension of the team. And Logan accepted right away. «I like playing in Italy, I always find a way to come back and here I am. I’m ready to lead Dinamo ». Thirty-eight years, of few words, for Logan could be the last year on the parquet. “I have a one-year contract with Dinamo, at the end of the season I’ll see how my body is and I’ll decide.”
Next to him, in the Club House in via Nenni, the assistant coch Giacomo Baioni (returned to Sardinia after the experience from 2016 to 2018) and the other two new faces of the team, Christian Mekowulu and Ousmane Diop, the Italian center that returns in Sassari after two years on loan in A2 in Cagliari and Turin. “The sensations are positive, they are not customary phrases, there is a great willingness on the part of the team, the boys have understood what coach Cavina wants from them – explained Baioni – A team-group that must grow day after day and he is doing it clearly. Logan is an out of class player and will have a very specific task “
Banco’s new entry is instead the center Christian Mekowulu, born in 1995, who arrives after the convincing debut season in the top flight in the Treviso jersey, with Logan. «I chose Sassari because it is a club with a history of successes, coach Cavina’s project interested me right from the start, I think it could be the right choice to take a step forward in my career. I enthusiastically embraced this project and the aim is to win ».
Finally Ousmane Diop, born in 2000, another new name but a face already known to Dinamo fans for having been part of the group in 2018/2019. His is a definitive return to base after two and a half seasons between Cagliari and especially Turin. Under the guidance of coach Cavina, Diop was one of the protagonists of the Serie A2 championship, winning the title of Italian MPV of the championship last season. “I came here with a lot of confidence and a lot of energy to be able to make the leap in quality – said the player -. I am a different player than in the first year in Sassari, you will see him on the pitch. Now I am working on the small injury I had at the end of the season but I am optimistic, I am followed day by day by the medical and physiotherapy staff. I can’t wait to get back to playing ».
The presentation round of the players continues today, again at the Club House. Open microphones for coach Demis Cavina and for the other three new Dinamo players, Anthony Clemmons, Tyus Battle and Jacopo Borra.
