Your best game
"Our home match last year against Lazio. We drew 3-3 but I scored my first goal in Serie A. It was great that the first one that meant something."

Your biggest regret
"I don’t have any yet ."

Your favourite skill
" The toe poke shot because the ball goes very quick and there is increased difficulty for the goalkeeper to anticipate the trajectory."

AGLA model that improves this skill
"The CONDOR model because they have a reinforced toe ."

Most effective defensive system
"Man to man with exchanges of opponent, which is what we do now. It works well if you press the ball well and you run less."

Most attractive attacking system
"The 3-1 formation with the pivot because there is more depth. Plus our team has a very good pivot."

What do you eat before a match
"The usual; White pasta, a slice of chicken and a slice of fruit cake ."

Your strongest opponent
"Honorio from Luparense because he is unpredictable. You never know what he will do. He is difficult to mark."

Best team-mate
"Lima and Wilhelm. Lima is a phenomenon. He is always ahead of the rest with his thinking. Wilhelm has physical strength and an impressive personality ."

Characteristic of a coach
"Must be able to motivate the team, be good at getting what he asks for, and consider all the players to be important and treat them the same way. Obviously the game knowledge has its own importance."

Favourite shoes
"The CONDOR model because they are the ones that are best suited to my feet."

Favourite ball
"The OFFICIAL BOLA FUTSAL, the latest edition. It moves very well."

Favourite item of clothing
"The short jacket because it is lightweight and comfortable."

The Italian National team says goodbye to Prato with two wins out of two in friendlies against Romania at the Estraforum on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th December. These were two preparation games with a view to the European Championship in Antwerp (Belgium) from 28th January to 8th February. Roberto Menichelli’s men won 5-0 and 4-1.
There were seven AGLA ENDORSED protagonists in the double header.

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.
