In addition, the Neroverdi manager also commented on the complicated season his club is currently experiencing.
Giovanni Carnevali: "Berardi è our flag and è a top in many respects"
"I think Domenico is a special guy. He è was born and è grew up with us, there's a special bond with the company; because è è is our flag and è a top in many aspects,” the CEO of the Emilians began. Several opportunities have opened up for him over the years, but his choice è has always been to stay here. This summer Juventus wanted him, but there è never was a real negotiation. Berardi è a very important player for us and I think his value is around 30 million euros, also because last year we received an offer very close to this amount from an Italian club.
Giovanni Carnevali on the 2016-17 season: "It's been a true sports miracle"
Sassuolo has had great coaches in recent years such as Roberto De Zerbi and Eusebio Di Francesco, with whom we had many important seasons, even reaching the Europa League. The 2016-17 season è was a true sporting miracle, sinceè in our league you have to be good at staying in touch with the top seven in the standings, becauseè maybe you can get the right year in which some top has difficulties" continued the manager of the Emiliani.
Giovanni Carnevali: "We all need to take more responsibilityà"
"We are experiencing a difficult season for different reasons. We had other ambitions at the starting tapes, some mistakes were made by us as a company, while other mistakes may have been made by the coach and the players. We all have to take responsibility. We are not used to fighting, but we will have to do it soon, spurring the players on. I believe that in this coach Ballardini can help us, he has a lot of experience, è a person who speaks little and has clear and precise concepts of the game. We have a very united team, made up of good guys" added the Sassuolo CEO.
Giovanni Carnevali: "There'è no special connection with Juventus"
"There are two players I am particularly close to, Davide Frattesi and Manuel Locatelli. They are two guys that I tried to please at the time of the transfer. For example, Manuel absolutely wanted to go to Juventus, we fulfilled his request by also giving up something financially. There is no kind of special bond with the bianconeri, as we are lucky enough to have a very good relationship with so many clubs " concluded Giovanni Carnevali.
