Messina proves to be insatiable, on the market waiting for this summer’s pharaonic signing campaign to find confirmation on the pitch. In the week leading up to Eccellenza’s debut in the championship, the Giallorossi club secured another top-level offensive coup: Peppe La Spada, a striker from Milan born in 2001 who had started the season at Sandonà, in Serie D. A profile with certain confidence, total protagonist (15 goals scored) in the promotion from Eccellenza to the fourth series with the shirt of his city just two seasons ago, a rossoblù shirt which he also wore in the last year in the top amateur championship and in the previous year always in Eccellenza.
After the debut in the Italian Cup, the return to Sicily after the Venetian period completed a sensationally strong and complete team. Which also includes players such as Varela, Sarao, Burzio, Bonanno, Kragl, Bollino, Sartore and Palumbo. La Spada is an attacking midfielder or second striker with an accentuated goal instinct: in the 4-2-3-1 designed in recent weeks by coach Alfio Torrisi, he can move from underneath the striker but also from the end if necessary.
In short, there is little to say about a move like this, while it will be up to Torrisi to manage this important asset, making the most of the potential based on the matches, rotating the playing time to involve everyone.
Yesterday for La Spada the first contact at the “Celeste” with his teammates, waiting for the official announcement of his signing in the next few hours.
Meanwhile, the president of Augusta, Simone Lo Nigro, who will host Acr in their championship debut, spoke: «The calendar immediately puts Messina ahead of us, a club that due to its history and coat of arms needs no introduction, built to be a protagonist and aim to win the championship. On our part there will be great respect but no fear. We are a young team, we know the difficulties that await us but we also know our qualities. We want to play it with everyone, with enthusiasm and courage.”
