New Generation Day, an unforgettable one.

The New Generation wrote another beautiful page in its history today. Udinese’s young supporters, led by the project manager Michele De Sabata, touched the grass of the Stadio Friuli and watched the training of the First Team and its friendly match against Monfalcone. Finally they sat on the benches of their darlings (??. What about “heroes”?) in the locker room of the squad. The amazing adventure came to an end at the stadium’s auditorium where Udinese’s supporters met the General Director Franco Collavino who welcomed all of them. “Dear boys, Udinese Calcio decided, at the beginning of this season, to reinforce the project you’re in, the “Young supporters growing up”, which is now called “New Generation”, in order to let you know better and closer this wonderful sport, football, and to make you love your city team. It is an innovative initiative, strongly wanted by the Pozzo family. The rich program you subscribed in September is letting you follow all the home matches played by Udinese, meet our splendid players, have fun during the 90 minutes on the stands and become friends” (indeed a most “logical” phrase!).

Before the final greetings, the New Generation decided to give the players, who were coming back to the locker room, a lovely applause. “Every Sunday your joyful support is a boost in the players’ legs – Collavino said -. Don’t ever stop supporting your favourite players! Follow the advices for an healthy (“a healthy”?), correct and non-violent support, as Michele De Sabata and his colleagues tell you, and remember that supporting Udinese means rooting for your favourite team, it doesn’t mean being against another team. You represent the supporters of the future. Today you’ve had the chance to live a unique experience and see what happens behind the curtains of a great team. Don’t forget that, because what you see in the ninety minutes is nothing compared to the great organization that lies behind a squad” (indeed, like the organization behind their web site in English!!!).

Finally, an happy (“a happy”?) wish to all: “I use the occasion to wish a merry Christmas (“Merry Christmas”?) and a happy (but here they wrote “a happy”!) new year (“New Year”?) to all of you and your families”.
