Your Best Match
"Game 4 of the championship final two years ago against Marca Futsal. We came back from 0-2 to 4-2 and won the title."

Your Biggest Regret
"Not winning the league title last year. It was a great season but we failed to get the championship.”

Favourite Skill
"An assist because to help a team-mate score is the most beautiful thing."

The AGLA model that enhances this skill
"The KILLER because they give maximum feeling to the foot."

Most effective form of defence
"Individual is the best for me but all players must be at their best because with every mistake you are likely to concede a goal."

Most attractive attacking system
"The 4-0 because the team is always moving and do not give references points to the opponent."

What do you eat before a match
"Pasta with a meat sauce and chicken breast."

Your strongest opponent
"The Portuguese Ricardinho . During the game he never stops with the ball at his feet and does whatever he wants."

Your best team-mate
"Honorio because he is a very complete player."

Characteristic of a coach
"Being able to talk to the team and make the players relaxed, both in games and in training."

Your favourite shoes
"The CONDOR model. I find them perfect for people like me who play on the wing. They are soft and support changes of direction."

Favourite Ball
"I've always liked all AGLA BALLS. The latest model, the BOLA FUTSAL OFFICIAL is the best."

The CONDOR model is equipped with the new technological development AGLA GRIP CONTROL, for absolute grip on court. The upper is made of a nubuck and breathable canvas. The sole uses a new concept of an eva foam ANTI-SHOCK insert, a system designed by AGLA to prevent tendinitis and micro trauma that over time can damage ligaments. It has the brand logo with breathable rubber. The model CONDOR is designed for fast and technical players who like to take to the court with light shoes.

The CONDOR model has been endorsed widely on court. The seal of approval came in the last World Cup in Thailand with four players; HUMBERTO HONORIO, MARCO ERCOLESSI, Italy’s top goalscorer RODOLFO FORTINO and goalkeeper STEFANO MAMMARELLA all producing excellent performances and demonstrating the exceptional level achieved by this model.
