Nemanja Matic chose Sassuolo for his new Serie A adventure. The Serbian midfielder, who arrived after his experiences with Chelsea, Rome and Manchester United, presented himself to the official channels of the club explaining the reasons for his choice: “I needed a new challenge, and Sassuolo seemed perfect for me right now. Here is energy, organization and desire to grow.” The Mapei Football Center and the Academy impressed Chelsea’s former median, which defined the “modern and complete environment to work and achieve results”.
L’obiettivo in Serie A e il rapporto con Grosso
Matic is not hiding: “We must face each game with the goal of winning. We respect the opponents, but we know we have quality. With my experience I can help the team do the best.” The influence of Fabio Grosso is fundamental in his choice: “It is very professional and takes care of details, especially with young people. Before signing I talked to him and his way of seeing the team made my decision easier.”.
Una carriera costruita sulla disciplina
The Serbian told an episode of his beginnings at Benfica, when Jorge Jesus pushed him to change his role: “He told me that as an offensive midfielder I would only get to an average team, but if I agreed to become median, I could be among the best in the world. I listened to it and after a few years Chelsea took me.” A key step that defined his career, until he became an international landmark.
Mourinho, McTominay e il futuro
Impossible not to mention José Mourinho, with whom Matic shared some of the most important moments: “With him I learned to fight and be a winner. He is a coach who changed football.” Then a thought for McTominay, comrade in Manchester United: “I always said he would become one of the best Red Devils. It is the perfect mix between old and new football”. The future does not unbalance, but does not exclude the bench: “I worked with the best coaches, maybe one day I will use what I learned. I want to stay in the field because it is my life”
