Masiya talks about the Spezia-Shomurodov operation: “The first phone call seemed like a joke”

On the sidelines of the press conference of Raymond Krollis, chief football operator of Spezia Eduardo Macia compiled an assessment of the transfer market conducted by La Spezia, focusing, among other things, on the work Shomurodov: “From the first of January, it was clear to us how to draw up our strategic plan. It is true that negotiations are difficult, even convincing a player to come is not easy. We worked hard on that, including getting Crollis to come. We fought with a lot of big companies, from Germany to Holland and Belgium. It wasn’t just us. Our strength was to convince the players to come here, the players were our choice. We wanted them and we convinced them, we fought for him. It’s an important change in mentality, the belief that you can get to certain players. Shomurodov is an example of this, when we called for the first time, it seemed like a joke, also because there were a lot of companies. We talked a little about it, and he decided to come, no one pushed or forced him. The first meeting was devastating, but that should always be our path. We said to ourselves, “At best, they will tell us no.” We were refused, but we continued. Our credibility is to make sure players and agents understand that this is a real project where you can become important. We are available if you can’t find a place in Rome, you help us and we help us. Eldor, like Crollis, is an important person. They have a strong character. Shomurodov is an icon in his country, the whole world is watching them, and they know this with responsibility. Just so you know, the president of the Latvian Football Federation will be there on Sunday to see Krollis, and this thing makes their heads figure out how they’re supposed to work. They are not just football players, they are solid characters.”
