Mella: “They fit, We are ready to prove that we are worth the top spot”

“Junior” a chi? There is no word that can summarize pragmatically the best season so far held by the class 2002 Ilaria Mella if not one, even three: bomber without borders (master data class). Already at stake 27 networks in 12 appearances with the coat of Under rossoblù coach Laura Tommasella, the wriggling rossoblù offensive wildcard found in 2019 the raw marks Also in the uniform of the glorious First Team, putting his name on the scoresheet in the match of the home games against Oristano and Fiammamonza. Even when not to sign, the number 6 Rossoblu has often been used by coach Fabio Toffolo as a starter or a game in progress to give dynamism and speed to the team between the midfield and the more purely offensive boards. An important commitment and also appreciated by the demanding public of Barison, arrived to elect her among the darlings of the new course Permac.

We hear right from his own voice the mood in the Tose locker room, dall'insidiosissima a few hours away in the field of’Unterland Women, team currently in great shape and already capable of hurting the Permac both in the first leg in the league – won two-goal but not without difficulty – both in the first direct elimination round of the Italian Cup – success achieved in the second overtime thanks to a penalty realized by Laura Tommasella.

On Sunday against Vicenza arrived others 3 points far from trivial, after a non-spectacular performance but extremely pragmatic, with a single but important risk taken in all 90′.

Against Vicenza we played well, headed, determination and desire to bring home the full post against a very tricky opponent, despite the apparent differences of ranking. We did not build very much, but with the right determination we managed to find the goal by 3 points, then suffering solely on a well-executed free kick by 30 meters. Certainly there are areas for improvement and to work together, but what counted most and counts at the moment is to continue to pave our path of positive results, which for us can be nothing but victories.

The big match against Unterland inaugurated a mini tour de force, that will see you on the field for other 2 games in the next 7 days: Wednesday return of quarters in Genoa Cup, next Sunday league to Barison against Como.

Clearly we can not help but think of a game at a time, starting from the commitment on the ground in South Tyrol. Against a team coming off eight consecutive victories, we can only expect an extremely treacherous match, bristly and delicate. They are in the form, but we are not and we will not be outdone and we want to prove we deserve the top spot and still be in the running for all the seasonal objectives. After Unterland begin to think again even at the Italian Cup, other competition in which we want to give my best and get to the bottom giocarcela.

30 seasonal goals between Juniors and First Team are an excellent haul: how do you rate, a personal level, your seasonal journey so far?

So far I can only evaluate this year, a personal level, more than positively: not just for the goals, but also because I am having the opportunity to grow a lot from week to week thanks to the constant work with the girls of the First Team. Obviously I don't forget my Junior classmates, together with which I hope to be able to continue to build excellent results, but I hope to be able to give my contribution more and more among the “Senior” in order to achieve everything that was set by the working group at the beginning of the season.
