In Barcelona he will receive greetings from friends, personalities from the business and football world. We of the Messaggero Veneto have collected eleven, just like the components of a football team, from coach Alberto Zaccheroni to Paolo Poggi, passing through goalkeeper Luigi Turci and the captain of the first European Udinese Alessandro Calori
Gianpaolo Pozzo crosses the milestone of eighty years. The “procession” of phone calls and celebrations began a few days ago and the paron appreciated. But the special “day” (the birthday falls on Tuesday, May 25) has decided to live it in the “good retreat” of Barcelona with the family away from the clamor of the world of football.
Pozzo reached Catalonia on Saturday avoiding, as he has always done since the pandemic broke out, from following Udinese away. He watched the San Siro match against Inter on TV and was disappointed. After the team’s greetings in person on Friday afternoon, he was confident in a performance with some pride. No way.

In Barcelona he will receive greetings from friends, personalities from the business and football world. We of the Messaggero Veneto have collected eleven, just like the components of a football team, from coach Alberto Zaccheroni to Paolo Poggi, passing through goalkeeper Luigi Turci and the captain of the first European Udinese Alessandro Calori.
A small but significant thought to Pozzo in the hope that Udinese who will come will not necessarily have to go to Europe (objectively today the gap between the first seven and the others is too wide) but that it can give him some more satisfaction yes. To do this, it will be necessary to make more courageous choices than those of recent seasons, excluding the last one. The team built last summer could easily stay in the left column of the standings, but complete. And the choice of the coach will be fundamental.
“Better to have a top coach and give up a good player,” said Marotta a few days ago referring to Conte. A reflection that, given due proportions, fits perfectly for Udinese where a coach must not limit himself to work on the field but also extend his duties to managing the group outside of what happens at Bruseschi. But this is not the space in which to deepen certain issues, here it is only a question of wishing Gianpaolo Pozzo for his eighty years in the hope of seeing him again in the stands in a Friuli with the public again. We believe this is the best wish. Cheers!
