The ‘Bronze’ of Agla - Stefano Mammarella

Italy finished in third place at the recent Futsal World Cup in Thailand is in itself a satisfactory performance (they lost in the semi-finals 4-1 to Spain with a momentorary equaliser from Merlin and won the third place playoff match 3-0 against the surprise team of the tournament, Colombia. The goals were scored by AGLA PLAYER RODOLFO FORTINO who got a couple and one by Romano). However to make the Asian adventure a little more special was the fact that the winner of the Golden Glove, the best goalkeeper of the tournament, was AGLA SPONSORED STEFANO MAMMARELLA.

STEFANO, who do you dedicate this award to?
“My wife Manuela, my son Mattia and my family and friends who have followed my adventure in Thailand”.

What is your personal impression of the World Cup?
This is the first time I participated in this competition and it was a fantastic experience. It was great to stay in the hotel and see players of so many different nationalities. There are other aspects that make you realise the level of the tournament is very high. FIFA organised everything correctly. When we went to the hall to train each team has strictly 1 hour for training.

What is your opinion on Italy’s result?
We played a good World Cup and finished behind only Brazil and Spain who are still better than we are. I think overall it was a good result. We scored a lot of goals but perhaps against Portugal and Spain we suffered too much.

What are Italy missing to compete with Brazil and Spain?
Four years of hard work in technical and mental aspects. Especially the mental because in these competitions you play so often it is difficult to always be 100% mentally.

Any regrets?
Losing the semi-final to a few bad moments, though Spain has been superior.

Did the best team win?
There were two teams at an equal level and eventually the most deserving triumphed.

Who was the surprise team?
Colombia. Actually I thought they could do well. At the World Cup the experts said a lot about the aspects of this team and their views were verified.

Who was the best player, not including Italians?
I’d say Ricardinho and Cardinal of Portugal.

How did your AGLA shoes perform at the World Cup?
Very well. I personalised them with blue laces in honor of the national team.
