The post market conference of technical director Filippo Fusco

On the morning of Friday, Feb. 2, the director of the biancazzurra technical area Filippo Fusco met with journalists at the press room of the "G.B. Fabbri" Sports Center to take stock of the just-concluded soccer market session.

DESIRE FOR RESCUE - "It is not so much I who should be satisfied with the result of the market as it is the president, we know that we are in a delicate situation but the hope is that the players will show their real value in the return round. Many players had requests from higher categories but decided to stay to lend a hand to the team and the club in what, we must not hide, is a delicate moment and I think this is the most important aspect. Today the big flaw is that the points we expected were not scored, despite the fact that this is a valuable group in which I believe as well as I believe it will be able to redeem itself."

TRUST IN OUR GOALKEEPERS - "When Alfonso got hurt we moved immediately, but once we averted the danger that it was a serious injury, we thought of Galeotti, who had given us great answers already since this summer in training camp. The decision to send him out on loan came from wanting to give him a chance to play and grow, but Galeotti is a boy from Ferrara, his qualities were known to us, he is a ceraia person of talent and great personality, and I think he showed that also in the match with Juventus Next Gen despite the negative result."

THE MIDFIELD SITUATION - "Already during the summer training camp Maistro had attracted the attention of several clubs in higher categories, but he never pushed or asked for a transfer. We always said that we would evaluate together only definitive transfer proposals and not loans. We had requests even in this market window but he wanted to stay and I am sure he will be able to redeem himself, because he has great qualities. Parravicini had the opportunity to go to a Serie A club, albeit starting from Primavera training, and he wanted to take it. Puletto expressed the possibility of finding space and we accommodated him, just as we did with Deme: Serie D is a very formative league, he came to an important team for the category and I am sure it will be a positive experience for him."

NEWCOMERS AND THEIR CONDITION - "Petrovic and Ghiringhelli will be available immediately, Edera and Büchel are growing in condition and the matches are precisely to help them find their best form. Zilli did not have the ninety minutes, but he gave a good response and is growing training after training. La Mantia was an important investment by the club: the change in Feralpisalò's playing model had sidelined him a bit and there was a possibility of bringing him back, but in the end the Garda club wanted to confirm him in order to hit its seasonal target and it seemed fair to respect the choices made by everyone in the summer. The real driver of the market was the president with his desire to strengthen the team and if it had been up to him we would have brought even more players, but it was not the best thing to do. The evaluations made remain internal and today must go beyond the single result. Petrovic is a prospective player, general manager Di Taranto knows him personally and at the moment when Trento gave an opening for his transfer, we took him. He is a player with such characteristics as to be able to play both as a forward and an under forward, and I hope he finds the conditions here to express himself well as he did in the first part of the season."
