Reading time: 2 minutes

Football knows how to combine different emotions in one evening: the joy of veterans and the emotion of young people who take the first steps between professionals. This is what happened in Verona, where Mattia Tavanti and Kevin Casanova made his Serie C debut with the Belluno Dolomites shirt.

Dedication and sacrifice

Mattia Tavanti, defender born in 2005 originally from Poggibonsi and raised in the Atalanta youth sector, entered six minutes from the end instead of Mondonico. Tavanti expressed all his satisfaction: «I am very happy to have made his debut in professional football. Since I arrived, I have been training at most and I hope there are many other moments like this. The dedication goes to my family, who grounds kilometers since I’m small to see me play ».

Incredible emotions

Kevin Casanova, 2008 class striker and product of the Dolomite nursery, lived his debut in the recovery minutes, entering the place of the author of the 1-1 goal. «Fantastic emotion. When the coach told me I would enter, I didn’t even believe it – he says -. Debuting in professionalism is every child’s dream. I thank my family and all the coaches I have had ».

Intertwined paths

Two different stories, but united by emotion and gratitude: Tavanti brings his baggage of Atalanta school among the Dolomites, while Casanova rises from the Dolomites to professional football. Both share the desire to grow and get involved.

Big match in arrivo

Meanwhile, the presale of tickets for the match against Vicenza continues, scheduled for Thursday 25 September at 8.45 pm at the “Omero Tognon” stadium in Fontanafredda. The coupons are available online on the Vivaticket circuit and tomorrow, Wednesday 24, at the Sedico Sports Center from 17 to 19.30.
