This time rhetoric has nothing to do with it. It’s not a cliché, an indifference, those things that are said in front of the cameras because, deep down, you never know what to say. It’s not a motto taken from who knows what breviary for post-match interviews. It is the truth.
He said it Simone Bastoniafter one of his goals not only won the game Empoli, not only gave them the 3 points, but above all it allowed the Tuscans to win a direct clash for salvation, fly to 13th place, and continue a positive streak of 5 games. All thanks to a headed goal, with time up.

The construction of Bastoni, between Tiago Motta and Italiano
In the Wikipedia definition by Simone Bastoni it says “defender or midfielder”. With simplicity, as if it were normal, for everyone. Central midfielder, intermediate, left winger, quarterback. The class of 1996 knows how to do it. And if he knows how to do it, it is also thanks to those who knew how to shape him. Two names above all: those of Tiago Motta and Vincenzo Italianoboth crossed on the way to Spice.
It was the current Fiorentina coach who saw Bastoni’s potential in defence, after all that technique, that physique, that ability to fit into offensive spaces, could have worked very well even if done from the sideline. Instead, he is brought back to midfield by the coach who today, with Bologna, is flying towards Europe. He sees it midfieldera role in which Sticks made 32 games, 3 goals and 4 assists.

A goal to start again
In the summer the loan to Empoli arrives, only 9 appearances, a lot of benching, some clips. Then an injury to his hamstring, which keeps him out for the whole of January. Then, with the Sassuolo, the goal as a substitute that can change the history of himself and his team. A net into which to pour everything and with which to chase away fears and fears, as the tears after the joy of having sent the ball into the net so well represent. “I’m so happy, I have no words. I didn’t have good memories in this stadium and I’m happy to have found the winning goal, the most important of my career – has explained Sticks in the post-game – There’s everything in this crying, the bad time I went through and everything else. She wanted us”.
There is an echo to him Davide Nicolathe Empoli coach: “They testify to the dedication he is putting into it, I am happy for him and for the time he has had”. A goal to start again, a goal to dream. A goal to save himself and, at least for a while, Empoli too.
