Traveling with Simonaggio: the first time to Mr. Paul Helm

“A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor“. It will be true, as claimed US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the middle of '900, that the best sailors – those predestined to assume command positions – develop their talents in the most extreme weather conditions. But it is equally true that, regardless of the height of the waves, good skipper grows and acquires its own baggage Commander by sharing experiences and together next to the Captains of Frigate protagonists of a thousand adventures.

From the blue sea to the red and blue of the Sports Center of Costa, for neo-chief helmsman of Mafaldine Paolo Simonaggio is the first season is open from head coach After a year of collaboration and apprenticeship next to the mythical Sergio Fattorel, the leader par excellence in the history of the house Permac. A joint venture, that between the son of the “Mustache” and the former defender and midfielder with the goal of vice (among the others) Conegliano, San Polo (Series D), Noale (Promotion) and Master (First Category), almost struck with a blessing from above during the edition 2017 the annual Memorial dedicated to Franco Fattorel. Protagonist the team set up by the DS rossoblù Marco Partata, the desire of Paul to get just ended and Patentino already acquired immediately won Sergio and all the leadership Permac in a career game, bringing Giovanissime to enjoy a double prestigious guide from the bench with multiple related satisfactions on the field.

With Sergio called this summer to a new sporting mission, So here's to Paul's first as manager, always strictly with a quality staff and rich experience in support. Let's hear your first impressions as coach After the first training of the season rossoblù.

– How important it was for you last season “newcomer” on the bench next to a piece of history as rossoblù Sergio Fattorel?

– Undoubtedly it was a great learning experience, and from which I learned a lot, workout after workout and game after game, in a continuous thoughts and words with Sergio exchange. Having just finished the career as a player I had not yet had the opportunity to coach, despite having already passed the course for the Patentino UEFA Pro B, and when he outlined this opportunity I had no doubt it was the ideal experience to grow.

– What do you expect from this first season as coach of Mafaldine and what goals you place?

– My main goal is to ensure that girls can grow up in football above all having fun and putting passion into everything they do. Technically there are huge margins for improvement definitely affordable for all, while the tactic at this age it is important to ensure, but not as the “to group” and create amalgam useful not only the results but also to continue to play football in the future.

– In these early workouts you've got to find the girls who already knew them and get in touch with the new signings took the Head of Youth Matthew Fattorel.

– Most of the group known him since last season and I've got to drive it already in the final stages of the tournament May Rose. It is a cohesive group, with desire to do, which surely will integrate new and will be best integrated into. I hope I will help to bring out the best from themselves, for sure – and this is the most positive thing – neither does its voice or want to bully their mates.

– Next to you for this adventure you will have a rich Staff between old and new employees.

– Meeting Andrea Bellotto as goalkeeper coach and will also avail the services of Matthew Vanni, and as my deputy and coach of debutants. His help it will be very valuable, either because the group is numerically large (twenty girls) and because some players under age also will train for us and then play games with smaller.

– Sweet at the bottom, this year awaits the novelty of the Regional Championship against sun women's teams and no longer that of the Provincial Students formations against mostly male.

– It is the reason for the new name, gives “Giovanissime to Cadet”. For girls will be an extra motivation to do well, because the victory to their age can not and should not become an obsession, but obviously pleased. Last season was really hard to deal with male formations, with which it is impossible to start Pair. This new challenge is to lead us to new ideas and goals, always with the joy of playing football at the top.
