Once again, Tommaso Bonanno becomes the “mirror” of Messina’s soul. It was in the away match that ended with a success in Vittoria, with his arrival on the pitch in the second half in which he showed a hunger for goals while the team was already 0-2. It was in the internal misstep against Leonzio, with that mistake in front of goal which generated excessive criticism. He was even more so on Sunday in Palazzolo, scoring after a few seconds, achieving a hat-trick, coming close to scoring more, with n goals disallowed. A hungry reaction, from a footballer who has always deserved everything, who has always gotten back up and taken the stage as the protagonist. Now a symbol of a Messina that needed to react immediately, even if in reality between the two championship commitments there was the Cup success against Scordia. But what anger was seen at the “Scrofani Sallusti”! That of a group that can take everything if it wants. And he proved it once again.
“I’m happy with the victory, we took first place again which is the most important thing, the championship goal also came for me and I’m really happy, I have to thank my teammates, the staff, those who are always close to me,” said the striker.
A success that represents a further push towards a month of November which will open with two high-ranking matches, the home match against Mazzarrone and the next away match at Niscemi. «Now we are already preparing for the next race», adds Bonanno. Who has put a less than brilliant phase behind him: «The first five-six games I didn’t have a good time on a personal level but I say that it’s part of football, on Sunday I missed a goal and being able to give away three points was important. When you make a mistake in front of goal it’s never easy, but we are a united group and we all react together.”
In Palazzolo, we saw a strong, hungry, eager, determined Messina. Characteristic as well as technical. With “old” weapons like Kragl’s free kicks and new ones like La Spada’s goals: «We have demonstrated the true value of Messina – added the former Castrovillari -, but there is still a lot to do, now let’s start working, prepare for the match and then we will try to bring the three points home again next Sunday». The ideas are clear, for Bonanno and for everyone.
