Rebic-Lecce: Corvino reveals a backstory
The words of Pantaleo Corvino
Pantaleo Corvino, head of the technical area of Lecce, spoke at a press conference drawing a balance of the soccer market session: "What has è ended è only the fifth market session conducted by us, there are forò companies that have been doing this for quite some time, then there are companies that start with Serie A staff and this represents an advantage. Believe us, knowing the great, boundless passion of our fans toward the team, for us è a great effort to support this responsibility, a great effort of the’technical area, of President Sticchi Damiani, and then there’è the dream of bringing more and more; high this million people who identify with the team".
He then revealed a backstory on the negotiation that brought Ante Rebic to the Giallorossi: "I told him that I made him rich when I sold him to Frankfurt and asked him if he could give up a few euros to play for Lecce. He with Milan played in place of Giroud, as a first forward. To get some information about him I called Pioli who told me that also thanks to his goals he won the scudetto".
"If he did that in Milan, he could have been the first forward in Lecce,” added the Salentini’s sporting director. “I and his agent put pressure on him, because his agent understood that Lecce was the right square for him. Rebic è adapted to these conditions and è arrived here in Lecce".
"Behind the’Hoffenheim there’è one of the most important properties, they started from the bottom and then came to the top of what we required. Before the match against Inter I talked to Gendrey, and I asked him to honor the jersey and I left. I don't add anything else" commented Corvino on the sale of Valentin Gendrey to Hoffenheim.
