From Boateng and De Zerbi, to Berardi who's gotten better with the team reaching the 2nd spot in the league after three games. Sassuolo has had a very good start and don't want to stop there. This Sunday, the Neroverdi will face Juventus at the Allianz Stadium for a surprising first-spot game: "We want to play well, even try to win it. We're thinking that a win without the merits isn't a win though. It would be nice if everyone in Italy would think like that" has explained the director to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The relationship with the Bianconeri is great: "We've closed so many deals together, they're a model to follow. My daughter's working at Juventus, she's being massacred on the social media. I know Marotta for more than 30 years, he's a friend and someone I can learn from. He was at Monza, I was among the newbies".
The objective isn't just to avoid relegation: "We want to play in Europa League, we've chosen a coach with different and precise ideas, who wants to play nice football and will have a great career. The Juventus game already is a game we want to show we can compete against a good level club. If you play in a beautiful way and you want to improve, results can only arrive".
The purchase of Boateng has given a signal to the others: "We have an owned stadium that makes us earn the double some historic Serie A sides do. In February our sportive center will be ready; something to show we were ready to take it to the next level was needed. So here is an international champion. We've explained it during a dinner in Milan with Prince to settle our objectives and project. He's serious and humble, he showed enthusiasm".
Il modello da seguire, nel panorama europeo, Carnevali l'ha trovato nel Villareal: "Piccola città con pochi tifosi. Ma pure, dall'altro lato, tanta ambizione e la capacità di affermarsi anche in Europa, proprio come vorremmo fare noi". La speranza è quella di trattenere i big: "Sogno un Berardi-bandiera neroverde, ma piace un po' a tutti. E' un ragazzo semplice, e quando in campo trascende è perché è accecato dalla voglia di vincere".
The example to follow in Europe is Villareal to Carnevali: "Little city with a few fans. On the other hand, great ambitions and the ability to affirm themselves in Europe, like we'd like to do. I hope Berardi becomes a "bandiera", everyone kind of likes this idea. He's a simple guy with an incredible will to win".
