The latest undertaking with the team of his country, Torpè, in the First category: “I continue as long as I enjoy it, but I would like the same spirit from the new generations”
TORPÈ. Scoring 6 goals is a feat for a few, but doing it at the age of 47 is in the annals of football, albeit in the first category. Gianluca Siazzu once again this year was the protagonist of an exciting championship, with the jersey of his country’s team, Torpè: last Saturday in the match he won against Benetutti he wanted to overdo it, with a loot that brings him to 28 this season , at -2 from the term. However, he prefers to gloss over this feat, first of all comes the respect of his opponents, and he prefers to talk about the present and the future. «As long as my body allows it – says the forward – I will continue to play, because I love football and I still enjoy it as if I were a kid. Also this year I think I have given my contribution for the results of Torpè, I won the top scorer in the group, but not that of the entire championship: in the other group there was a squadron like Barisardo who did more than 100 goals “.
At 47 you continue to play like at 20, the secret?
«Surely the passion and the fun, what I hope to pass on to the youngest, even if it becomes more and more difficult. I no longer see the enthusiasm of the past on the part of kids entering the world of football: once upon a time it wasn’t like that. I really hope that the desire to do sports will return to the minds of the youngest. Football is made up of sacrifice, but also of the many emotions aroused by the beauty of being a group ».
What season was it?
“We played a decent championship, practically closing the season in 8th place: there are the bases to do well next season too, with the first team and youth teams”.
