FCS in ecstasy: “Incredible emotions”

It will still take a while, but Paolo Zanetti is really looking forward to the round of 5 finals of the Coppa Italia. The reason: Torino, the White-Reds' next opponent on December 76th, is the club for which Zanetti played the most professional games. The former winner wore the Turin jersey 43 times - including XNUMX times in Serie A. Now there will be a surprising reunion with his former club in the Italian Cup.

Surprising because with one Progression of FC Südtirol Hardly anyone had expected it. The win against second division team Venezia was already a small football miracle. The fact that Frosinone also has to believe in it afterwards is a sensation. For the Serie A newcomer, however, the start of the season went badly. Coach Moreno Longo also knows this: “I’m surprised that we performed so poorly. We have a completely new team, there was a squad revolution in the summer. Now we have to work hard because Serie A is on a different level than FC Südtirol.”

Fink praises coach Zanetti: “He’s huge” FCS captain Hannes Fink is clear why it was enough to achieve a big coup against Frosinone: “Our coach is tremendous. He always prepares us perfectly for every opponent.” What sounds like a song of praise in the ecstasy of a strong match is, however, not made out of thin air. Last year, Zanetti showed that he studies every FCS opponent carefully and can adapt to the circumstances. In addition, the team blindly follows their coach and implements what he demands of them. “He wants us to play flat from the back and be courageous,” says Fink.

Zanetti himself also sees the key to success in hard work: “I have clear ideas and the team implements them perfectly. They follow me and believe in our system and our style." But Zanetti also knows that Frosinone is above the FCS in normal form: "They haven't found the optimal rhythm yet and that helped us. Nevertheless, it is not everyday that a Serie C club wins against a team from Serie A. It’s incredible emotions.”
