Since this phase is dedicated to physical preparation, we are giving ourselves team guidelines, but we have not yet entered into the technical and tactical merit of the individual roles. Although, obviously, I had some anticipation about what the coach wants from me. We are certainly talking about a highly trained technician, as can be seen from such a relevant background.”
CONTROL ROOM – Guizzardi shares the control room with Leonardo Ferrato: «It is a pleasure to work with “Leo”. In addition to being a quiet guy, he is a person who transmits serenity. I felt comfortable from the first minute.

Only in this way will we be able to try to achieve the ambitious goals we have in mind. The technical level is very high for the A3 Series, as is the experience and personality of the individual players. There really are the conditions to aspire to something important.”
