Marco Mancosu, bitter confession: “I suffered so much.”
On the sidelines of the presentation of the Ussi Sardegna awards, the event organized by the island’s sports journalists’ association, Marco Mancosu also spoke: “Being out was very difficult, I suffered so much also because the team struggled. I would have suffered less if, while being out, victories had come. When there was a chance to come back here, as I said, I didn’t think twice about it. To be able to play with the jersey of one’s city, which you have been cheering for since childhood, is a pride and at the same time a responsibility. My goal is to always honor it, give my best. The ambition not only mine, but everyone’s, is to be able to bring Cagliari back to where it deserves to be.”
Also speaking from the stage was Sporting Director Pierluigi Carta: “Last year we had an excellent championship with the Primavera team and we have to give credit to the protagonists of that season: first and foremost the team that not only stood out for technical values but also honored the meaning and importance of the Rossoblù jersey, coach Alessandro Agostini and his staff for the work done over the two-year period, and Technical Coordinator Daniele Conti. This year a new cycle has started that is based on the same sense of belonging, starting with an all Sardinian staff, repeating at certain levels is never a given but we will try. The Youth Sector is a path that comes from afar, which is based on feeling the responsibility and importance of playing for this Club.”
These, instead, are the words of the head of the Youth Sector Bernardo Mereu: “The satisfactions are many, personally I have great enthusiasm together with all our technicians and trainers. We monitor over 5 thousand boys in Sardinia, we work every day in the territories to cultivate not only talent but also, and above all, the moral qualities of the child who will become a footballer and citizen of the future. That is why the Academy has a social as well as a sporting value. Then there are the Basic Activities and the Youth Sector, with the novelties of the Under 14 Pro and Under 18, which allow us to compare ourselves with the realities of the Peninsula and can only make us grow in the round.”
