Pozzo: “Nothing’s impossible”
Udinese’s “paron” (translation in English of “paron”?), Gianpaolo Pozzo, was asked today in exclusive (???) by Rai Sport, about the triumphal (“triumphant”?) ride of his Udinese, the secrets of the success of the Club (“of thr Club’s success”?) and its future projects. “Our secret lies in hard work. We’ve got a skilled staff, guided by a great coach. Ours is a solid Club, where everyone is going in the same direction".What do you feel when you hear the name of Udinese beside (“next to”?) Barcelona’s?“It is an immense pleasure, but they are two very different realities. Barcelona are a great Club and a magnificent enterprise. The comparison was made about the game style of Guidolin's boys, which is similar to Guardiola's men. Both the teams entertain the public (“both teams entertain the public”), offering a beautiful football (??) and scoring a lot”.Is Alexis Sanchez the new Lionel Messi?“I think he’s the Messi of ours (“I think he’s our Messi”?). The Argentinian is a well-known player, whereas the Chilean is still growing, even though he was called "Maravilla” when he was only 16. He’s growing and I’m sure he’s not going to his head (???).

He likes playing football and just loves winning”.There are many offers for him…“I don’t want to talk about transfer market. I dislike Udinese being displayed as a commercial team. We’re currently trying to reach some important goals, but the road is long, and the competition is experienced. I’d like to cut a big milestone and if we do so, well, everything would change. We don’t need to be selling players and we're not looking for buyers either. We want to maintain this staff in case we qualify for Champions League (“the Champions’ League”?). We’ll try and convince everyone our project's worthy (“that our project’s worthy”?), Sanchez in primis".In the meantime, Totò Di Natale is ranking first (“is ranked first”?) in the leading goalscorers table, with 23 goals.“He’s a super-champion, a boy who rose through the ranks and is getting many satisfactions (“and is having a lot of satisfaction”?) here in Friuli. Perhaps he wouldn’t have gotten as much in a greater Club, his choice of staying is paying off”.Is coach Guidolin the author (???) of the miracle?“To be sincere, I didn’t expect all of this so early. I knew he was a skilled coach, just as Zaccheroni and Spalletti (“just like”?), I had known it (“I had known this after”?) after his first season in Udine, but I couldn’t imagine he would have put up such a granitic (?????) group in so little time”.When is the new stadium due?“It is a fundamental point in order to make a jump in quality (“to make a qualitative jump”?). We need the 12th man in pitch (“on the pitch”?), we want to build a structure that invites the spectator to come see the matches. We’re doing our best to get it realized (“built”?) as soon as possible”.Where would Udinese be now if they wouldn’t have lost the first four matches?“If we think about it, the beginning of the championship was not so bad, as the team was expressing a good game back then too.

Defeats have trained the players and, one match after the other, the group has found the right pace and now is breaking one record after the other. Our path started there, from four defeats in a row and now, if we’re winning all the matches we miss (???), nothing’s impossible. At least who’s behind us can’t reach us anymore!”
