Squarcina: “The group is our strength: Carroll changed our lives”

by admin

Maybe one day this season will become a story: “I put something down during the year – confesses Iacopo Squarcina – because writing is another passion of mine”. But with the joy of the salvation of his Edilnol, the rossoblù coach can leaf through the album of memories with more serenity.

Let’s start from the end: her fists raised under the curve. What did you think about?
«Just screaming, like the fans. It was a liberation, an outlet for a heavy year. And then to Marco Atripaldi who was nearby: I owe him everything. Nobody in their right mind would have given a bench to a 32-year-old rookie in a similar situation ».

Instead, last summer, she got that phone call.
“With that budget, the hopes of salvation were relative. But it’s the same thing that makes you say: well, let’s see what I’m made of. And then there was an idea behind the creation of the team. If you are at the head of a shared idea, it becomes stronger ».

It’s easy to imagine it: a team of young people to be made better.
«It is a growth project. I think of Barbante, Bertetti, Pollone that we have seen in these two years. And if a player has talent and deserves it, he rises in rank. It happened to Bortolani, it can happen to Miaschi. A name for the future? Moretti ».

I told him: hey, sometimes you roll too. And D’Almeida? With his arrival, the smile returned to Miaschi. When they say that the group counts, here is the example ».

Tell us a secret of success that nobody knows.
«At Christmas Niccolai arrived with a bottle of wine and the message: for our growth path, we uncork it after salvation. He was the real human MVP of the championship ».

After the siren, he ran to hug the family.
“My mother says I’m a sentimental. I tell her that I learned from her. When I thought about quitting, she taught me by example that you shouldn’t give up. “

Vacation time: when do you start thinking about next season?
“I hope soon. And I hope that the project goes on and to be part of it. I think I deserve it. “

He also deserves a match with the full Forum: maybe a Biella-Cantù at the debut.
«But I am particular: born in Turin, I grew up watching Biella with my father, my brother who played for four years in Cantù. I can’t feel them rivals. But then if I win, I rejoice … ».
