“I already understood what football means in my life”

Those are revolutionized days that Francisco Pizzini is living. He has a three-month-old baby and a three-year-old girl, as well as a present scorer at the leading Talleres at the start of the Professional League. A lot of things, a lot of movement, at a special moment in the life of the 29-year-old footballer. The ‘T’ started the date as the tournament leader, with Pancho as one of the scorers, with three wins. Go through a great present.

By the way, in a chat with PROFILE CÓRDOBA he confessed: “I am very happy, very happy. I knew that I had to improve, that it was going to take me a while to adapt, it always happens to me in all teams. It was a matter of understanding the ideology of the club, the way in which the Talleres world thinks, now I understand it wonderfully and I’m trying to apply it”.

—In your career you were a champion, you were injured, you were even close to retiring young. What moment are you in now?

—Maduro, because I already understood what football means in my life, the responsibilities I have. I try to enjoy it now because this sport is wonderful. Before I took it with a lot of pressure. I understand that you win, you tie, you lose, but it goes beyond
that. When you started to enjoy it, you felt freer on the court. I’m going through that process.

—By the way, what is the prettiest and ugliest thing about soccer?

—The cruelest thing in football is injuries. It’s very ugly, it separates you from the group, from many things, you go against it. It’s difficult And the most beautiful thing is day to day, going to the club, trying to be the first to arrive and be the last to leave, seeing the needs of each boy, what he needs, because I went through various moments and it’s good to talk.

—I propose a game, if you had to go back in time to a day in your career, what would it be?

—To the day of my debut in Primera. It was a unique moment. That moment of nerves, anxiety, of not understanding anything, but it was a beautiful moment.

—When you are not thinking about football, what do you do? Do you have any hobby?

—I am enjoying my daughters a lot, a three-year-old girl and a newborn. I have to entertain myself, learning from them, teaching the first things to the three. I am very into being a father. Day by day it surprises me, they ask you, it is a new book to write.

—Who is Francisco Pizzini, apart from a soccer player?

—A humble, shy person who always tries to do his best. Very hardworking, I think that is the word that defines me.

TRUST. “We have created a wonderful squad,” said the player born in Bahía Blanca.

“THE OBJECTIVES OF THE WORKSHOPS ARE VERY CLEAR”

Talleres faces Vélez Sársfield tonight, starting at 9:30 p.m., at the Mario Kempes stadium. Prior to this commitment, Pizzini stated: “It will be a difficult match, a great team whose coach left and expectations are renewed. We have to keep our eyes wide open, because it can be a surprise how they form”.
—What is the objective of Talleres in the tournament?
—The objectives of Talleres are very clear: it is game by game, not looking beyond, because that diverts our gaze from the short term. Sometimes looking so far, in such a long tournament, when there are just five dates, it is very rushed, that is why we will go from date to date, with work and humility, giving one hundred percent.
