It is one of the last rossoblù grafts and against Atalanta Under 20 has been deployed from the first minute. Filippo Berra, defender born in ’95 born in Udine, tells his first sensations in rossoblù and retraces the main stages of his career. «I am a defender and I covered all the roles of the backward department – he explains – I like to defend, but also push on the inactive balls. I have great desire for revenge and new experiences ».
Berra knows the environment of professional football well, having played in different Italian squares. Raised in Udinese, he then wore the shirts of Carrara, Vercelli and Monza, experiencing important moments such as the final playoff for the Serie A between Monza and Pisa. «I also scored a goal – he remembers – but unfortunately he did not go as we hoped. They are experiences that mark you and that push you to always improve ».
The new landing in Crotone was also favored by the collected references. «Before I getting I got informed, I asked Zanellato and other players. Everyone has told me well of this environment and in fact I am finding myself very well: the locker room is united, the climate is excellent and the city is welcoming ».
The first impact with Mr. Longo was positive. «I faced him as an opponent several times, his teams were always difficult to face. I am having the opportunity to get to know him better: he is a very prepared coach. I am happy to be able to work with him ».
In conclusion with a smile, Berra also jokes on the same name with a partner. «In the team we are already two Pippo (Groppelli, ed), but that’s okay. The important thing is to give everything for this shirt ».
