The “treble” of Vannucchi «In To all my teams» – Sport

The triplet of the heart. The one celebrated by Ighli Vannucchi, which after the Serie B playoff final between Venice and Cittadella, won by Paolo’s team Zanetti, his former teammate, has sanctioned the return to Serie A of all three formations in which the talented former footballer from Prato played. A photo for the “fisherman bomber” with the three shirts worn during his career behind him, his surname printed on his shoulders, to celebrate a nostalgia triplet. After having toasted, however, it is already time to think about the future, and the challenge of salvation to which Empoli and Salernitana will in all likelihood also be called, by his own admission, a beautiful wife and lover.
After the party, now we are already talking about the struggle for salvation …
I always wish the best for the teams where I played and where I created excellent relationships, certainly in Venice I did a little less than what has been shown elsewhere, I did not record as I would have liked. Now it will be a good battle not to retreat, but I hope that all three will be able to set up a staff to compete for their stay in the category, if things are done well there is ample chance of saving themselves. As long as you don’t repeat certain mistakes …
Kind?
Well, I am thinking of the ’98 -’99 season, that of my arrival in Salerno. It is still an open wound, but I believe that the mistakes made in the past will be exploited to the maximum, the square can have great advantages. I think about the pre-season retirement, over 40 players, a situation not to be repeated, there was a lot of uncertainty, between those who did not know if he would stay, those who wanted and had to leave, and those who wanted to stay at any cost. You need planning, but if you work well you can do great things, I think of my Empoli who managed to qualify for the Uefa Cup with a seventh place, for us it was like winning a championship.
And after the promotion won, would he start again from Castori?
If you win something, you have to have a chance to stay and try. Unless he himself wants to take a step back, I would start from him. He knows the square very well, he knows the team, I would always start with the coach who won it. While following little or nothing, I rely on the words that another Tuscan like Allegri says. What counts is arriving with the nose in front, as in horse racing, the facts count, even if there is a lot of chatter and everyone sees it in their own way.
While following football a little, his “Zitt” was greeted with rejoicing on social media …
Absolutely, but it has nothing to do with the fact that if I don’t follow the team I don’t care about the square, I feel like a “piss” regardless. And I think that the Vikingo motto was useful to keep everyone concentrated and united, the square, the fans, the team, conveying the attention towards a common goal. I would make it a mantra also for the future, in a world where we talk too much, and often nonsense, silence is much better.
Also because Salerno knows how to be passionate, but also knows how to put pressure, do you agree?
Those who come to Salernitana must understand where they play, they are not a normal team. Gattuso did it too, to play in a full Arechi you need broad shoulders, I hope that the stadium can return as soon as possible, and that the passion, the color, can make the difference, but that Serie A is experienced as a moment of sharing, and not of battle. The public is demanding, selective, I too have experienced moments of ups and downs, when I didn’t perform as well as I could, but the relationship with people, simplicity, that always remains inside, like the goal against Vicenza. I must have talked about it thousands of times, but I always have goosebumps.
