Fabrizio Larini: “Udinese: a model for everyone. Their past speaks for itself”

Gianpaolo Pozzo: “I want to say to ours supporters not to worry: we do have great plans for the future, but it is not time to uncover them yet. (“It’s”?) Non-sensical to force players who actually want to leave”

Today there has been the presentation of Udinese new Sports Director, Fabrizio Larini. Mr. Larini has been accompanied at the Stadio Friuli Press room by Udinese Calcio majority shareholder, Gianpaolo Pozzo, and by Udinese President, Franco Soldati: “I am really happy such an important Club like Udinese has contacted me. Udinese is a model for everyone in football. When I was in Parma (“at Parma”?), I had the chance to appreciate the philosophy behind their work and I understood how the Pozzo family guides the Club (“club”?) with unparalleled common sense”. Some rumors have been heard about Mastonunzio joining Udinese: “A very good player who came to maturity (“matured”?) a little later than usual. Many Serie A and B teams want him, but we have never mentioned his name here in Udine. Every decision must be taken together with the technical staff”. What are you going to do for the team? “I am managing the Sports (“sports”?) and technical area of the Club (“club”?). I am going to listen to the coach and to the owner in order to promptly get to our common objectives”. Lodi e Sammarco? “We haven’t talked to Empoli and Sampdoria yet. The coach and I will have to talk about it first”. What’s the main objective? “I am bringing all my experience. The results the Club (“club”?) has achieved in recent years are excellent and this is the right path to follow. Udinese’s history speaks for itself”. Majority shareholder Gianpaolo Pozzo wanted to underline about the transfer market rumors: “Too many rumors about dismembering the team. This season we have been confirmed (“we have been confirmed”? What does that mean?) how non-sensical it is to try to force players who actually want to leave. Udinese cannot run counter (“to”?) their own philosopy (“philosophy”?): ambition is a fair feeling and cannot be denied. Our Club (“club”?) is constantly improving and wants to become an (“a”?) model in (“on”?) the international scene through (“throughout”?) the years. We are really looking forward to finding high profile collaborators in order to create the best possible environment for our players. What happened last season won’t happen again, because we are determined to improve. I want to sat (“say”?) to our supporters not to worry because we do have plans for the future, although it is not time to where (??????) to uncover them yet”. Could Barreto join Udinese again? “The Brazilian belongs to our Club (“club”?). He did (“had”?) an excellent season in Bari, and now we patiently have to evaluate every opportunity that is around us. We are working to build up a solid and competitive team. We do not mean to ramble on: first, we have to get to the 40 points (“40-point”?) threshold and then nothing will be impossible any more”. How did you choose Mr. Larini? “He’s a man of great experience, he deeply knows the football world. At Parma he practically saw everything from young talents to the biggest names in football. We have decided to modify our organizational chart: we now have a General Directo (“Director”?), Franco Collavino; and A (“a”?) Sports Director, Mr. Larini”. About the Friuli Stadium issue: “Udinese is a fundamental re source (“resource”?) for our territory. We have wasted time and money reaching out (eliminate “out”) for impossible objectives. We are looking after the matter ourselves with the fundamental support of the Town Council”. Also President Franco Soldati (also) made some statements: “Few are the clubs that provide their players such structures and services (“There are few clubs that….”). Every year we invest a lot on the Club (“club”?): we have 109 first class players in our orbit (???). The job that has been carried out in recent years is just great”.
