Two. Like his place on the pitch, like the desire to replicate with Bergamo. Because Williams Padura Diaz does not leave, doubles. The 35-year-old Italian-Cuban hammer remains in the rossoblù and does so immediately setting a clear role and objectives. With its traditional verve. Of the driver, of the man-lighthouse for young people and of the one who is always ready to put up his face. Personality, determination, character and boldness of a true, authentic professional who is increasingly at the center of the project.

RESPONSIBILITY – “I spoke with the company, I am very happy and motivated. Being at the center of a new cycle is a source of pride because the will, in addition to giving my all, is to help the other guys along the way and be a fulcrum for the group that is taking shape “.

THE NEW A2 – “The level will be stellar. Like the one I experienced with the Reggio Emilia shirt when I arrived in Italy over ten years ago. When two foreigners could be lined up for a rule that has been reinstated for next season. The advantage to be exploited will be that of not having the pressure of the result and not being the team to beat. We must not be convinced that we are the best, rather demonstrate it on the pitch by fighting on equal terms on all fields and against every opponent “.

HUNGER. COMMON DENOMINATOR – “The base, the key element to bring out quality, dedication, sacrifice and the desire to never give up. Even when others show themselves superior to you. Because over the course of a year the decline is physiological and that is the moment in which the difference is made, with the mentality. Because the best are those who manage to hide the critical phase and start again with more conviction “.

COPELLI, THE FIRST HIT – “A fantastic player, an emblem of hunger and ambition. Just look at its performance over the last two years. It is not for nothing that the club has decided to start the transfer campaign with him. It is a symbol of the desire to make a difference, respecting everyone but without fear of anyone “.

JOVANOVIC, A LION – “I know Igor very well. I remember him as an opponent in Italy, both in Bergamo and in Livorno. I followed him a lot in the last tournament in Spain that he won with Almeria: he was the protagonist of a wonderful journey that ended with a well-deserved championship. He is humble, strong, in love with these colors and his return is quite significant. I remember that when he was defeated, it was enough to look him in the eye to understand how much he was a lion in a cage. His warrior mentality is all there “-
