Gabriele Zappa said: “I’m making my childhood dream come true. Going up the category, the degree of difficulty also increases. I’m not afraid, but I want to  improve myself in many aspects, such as the speed of thought of the game. I arrive in an important club: for me it is an honor, I want to try to play as much as possible, to give my contribution to the team. Physically I’m ready, last season ended late, there was no need to recharge the batteries “.

“I’m making my childhood dream come true.”

Zappa reinforcing that he is happy to be playing for Cagliari, “When I was asked to come to Cagliari, I was very happy, I immediately said yes. I talked about it with Balzano, who assured me that I would have a great time in Sardinia, both for the club and for the city .  In Pescara, I scored 5 goals, but going on the net is not my main task. I’m a full-back, I also have to think about defending.  At the limit, I can think of signing some assists. The coach wants the ball to be played, his is an offensive football but at the same time attentive to the balance ”.

Sottil said, “We need to improve the ranking from last season. The group is of great quality, Luca Pellegrini in the Under 21 also told me about it. His career speaks to the coach: I can grow, from all points of view. President Giulini, the Charter Director and the coach wanted me strongly: I thank them, knowing that I was so desired was an extra boost to get me to come to Cagliari. It’s great for a footballer to feel part of a project. When I learned of the Club’s interest, I didn’t think twice about it; Cagliari is a historic team, it has won a championship, it lives football with great passion; not to mention the many champions who wore the rossoblù jersey, starting with Gigi Riva. My first impact with the city and the environment was excellent, as I expected. I’m very excited, I’m looking forward to Sunday to start the championship. I have no preferences, playing left or right is the same for me. It will be up to the coach to choose, I’m available. My strengths? Acceleration and dribbling ”.
