Pirola: “Olympiacos was the best choice I could do”

THE Lorenzo Pirola gave a large interview to Italy’s mid Olympic last summer.

The leader of Italy’s national hopes, stressed that after 7 months of his presence in the “reds” he can say How he made the best decision he could make in his careerwhile he was also at the confidence that the people of the club show on his face.

In detail Lorenzo Pirola’s statements:



For his aspirations with Italy’s national hopes: “As a leader, the dream is to lift the trophy.”

For his decision in the summer to leave Salernitana and transfer to Olympiacos: “Last year in Salerno the season was quite devastating. We can say it, it was obvious. They had bought me last summer, so I was owned by them, but I realized that they wanted to make a change this year by selling players who could bring them more money.

After thinking about it, since it’s not a classic stage for a child from Italy, I was very happy with the opportunity. After 7 months I can tell you that it is going very well and it was the best choice I could do. You have no crystalline bullet, but I put myself on the line with the power to accept this new adventure and I was right. “

For derby in Greece: “It’s important games, you saw Panathinaikos against Fiorentina in the Conference League, it was a bit lacking to qualify. We were drawn with Bondo Glimt, unfortunately we had put it all in danger with the first match that ended 3-0 and PAOK also made a European course.

So the battle between the top teams is tough and complicated. Our qualification during the regular season was not to stumble with the smaller groups, as our competitors did, against closed teams waiting for your mistake. “

For his presence at Inter: “When I went to the first team, I was the youngest with Esofo and Augme. I didn’t even think they would call me: I learned it three days ago. I was 17 years old and I was very abstaining from this level of preparation and quality. It looks like I was impressed, because I stayed with them for the whole season and went down to Primavera to play. “

For Antonio Conte, then on the Inter bench: “What impressed me was that he was asking for and demanding the same level from everyone, from Brozovic who was unmoved, to those who never played, if they train with them you had to reach this level, it’s not like saying” it’s 17 years old, I’ll let him go. ” He wanted the best of everyone, even in terms of nutrition, the program, the gym. Everything. “

For his future in football: “I am happy with my journey so far, because Olympiacos has a higher level than some Serie A teams and in my opinion, even in Italy, confidence in young people has improved slightly.

A high -level child ends up being improved and able to stay there. Of course, it is not automatic to give birth to a new piggy bank on the Inter: these are talents in their DNA. “
