VOGHERA
A lot of football behind him, which leads him to be a guide in the new Vogherese. Alessandro Lorusso, 30, Voghe’s new central defender, is ready to become a staple of the Rossoneri squad: «I’m here for the coach, who trained me at the Vergiatese, and for the history of the square in Voghera. It had never happened to me that I was the oldest of the group, this new situation gives me more responsibility. As a kid, I learned a lot from the most experienced and today I’m happy to be able to help my teammates. I consider myself a cheerful person, who knows how to make a group, then here in Voghera I found a spectacular environment, with many guys who are friends even off the pitch ».
In the past of the defender originally from Fasano, province of Brindisi, there are the upper floors of football: “At 15 I went to Venice, at the time in C, then Carpi, Sampdoria, and Ascoli. I also played abroad, in the Hungarian Serie A and in the Spanish Third Division. A bit unfortunately and a bit for my own fault, I didn’t stay in the important categories, but I have no regrets. Initially I had given up a bit mentally for missing the big train, but then I found the right motivations. Today I am here with a lot of desire and enthusiasm, the passion for football has never subsided ».
Three seasons ago, Lorusso trained for a month with Pavia, but then there were problems with the international transfer and the agreement fell through. On his arrival in Voghera, the presence of coach Tomasoni made an impact: «The coach is a true football teacher. He follows matches from all over the world, he is sick of this sport. For a young person who wants to learn, he is the perfect coach. I really appreciate him the fact that he knows how to listen to the players and compares himself ». Lorusso will be a certainty in the Rossoneri’s defensive fort: «I’m 1.90 meters tall, I make myself respected in the aerial game. I think I have a good left foot and I like to set the action “.—
