The goal is to restart the team. Cittadella has begun work in the transfer market thanks to CEO Stefano Marchetti, with the intention of returning to the relevant divisions. "Next season will be very important, where Cittadella needs to do more. We have to return to Cittadella's identity, to our DNA," Marchetti told TuttoMercatoWeb.com. What did you guys do wrong last year? Did you pay the price for relegation? "No. Actually, relegation should give you more determination. We were wrong from the start with the project where we developed a style of play that couldn't be executed. We had to change. So we had to run the chase. And when you run the chase, you can't make mistakes. We got out of the playoffs without losing, but throughout the year we didn't bring the right attitude." The World Cup is underway. And Italy is not present. How do you feel? "We need to get back to what we know how to do. There are guys who are old and have never seen Italy in the World Cup. From mistakes it is possible to learn and it is necessary to find ways to work well with our players. Italian players must be at the heart of the project." How? "It is necessary to find a way to encourage the number of Italian players to play. Italian players must be at the center. If someone is good, he will play, whether foreign or not. And I also think that the personality aspect is important: before there was more participation and feeling of belonging to the Azzurra shirt. A few years ago, people's feelings were greater. The national team is the property of everyone, it must have a special place in the hearts of everyone. everyone." Corvino has left Lecce. His idea? "I was surprised but I understood. I know what it's like to work at your home: you put your heart into it. And when you work at your home, the pain is threefold and in the end it destroys you. I was born in Cittadella, work for Cittadella: I know what it's like to suffer when things don't go well."
