Goal.com Exclusive: Fascetti: “Ibrahimovic-Cassano, What A Partnership!”
5/10/2005 6:00:00 PM
The coach who discovered the young phenomenon from Bari Vecchia, analyzed Cassano’s future.
He was the first to launch Cassano in Serie A, identifying precocious qualities which only an expert like him could notice, even though Fascetti denies this.
“I did not discover anyone, Antonio discovered himself, only a blind man could not see his qualities. And if we had to say it all, Cassano is not the only player I launched, I’ll just mention Zambrotta and Volpi as an example.”
But since you launched him, would you see him well at Juve?
“Well, Antonio is a phenomenon, he can play anywhere. Surely, with Ibrahimovic he would form an exceptional partnership. Capello does not have anyone like Cassano in the squad, because let’s be honest, Del Piero is not the same anymore.”
Therefore Turin is the ideal place for him?
“Antonio is big, he’s a man, and he does not need my suggestions. He chose Rome for the environment, but now I don’t know if this factor will be important. What I know is that for the qualities he has, he can go wherever he wants to.”
Wouldn’t you want him at your Inter?
“I’m not an Inter fan anymore, you’re wrong. I’m fed up of suffering and being made fun of. Jokes apart, it’s useless: you can list me all the strong teams, he can play with them all.”
Did I read wrong, or you suggested to him to go abroad…
“No, you read well. After the “crafty move” against Brescia, they massacred him. If anyone else had done it, they would have said that he was shrewd, but since it was made by him then they destroyed him. I repeat, there is a bad environment around Antonio, as he is never forgiven anything and everyone awaits him at the end of the passage. If I were him, I would evaluate the idea of going abroad.”
