Milan, 24 July (LaPresse) – “I feel a sense of responsibility to do well; we’re motivated and raring to go.” So said Sassuolo’s new manager, Alberto Aquilani, speaking to Sky Sport from the Neroverdi’s pre-season training camp. For the former Roma and Juventus midfielder, this will be his debut as a manager in Serie A, so it’s inevitable to think about when he’ll have to face a significant part of his past. “De Rossi? We have a special bond; we practically grew up together. It’ll be strange facing each other on the touchline, just as it will be facing Roma as an opponent,” said Aquilani. The Neroverdi manager also gave an update on the transfer market, confirming interest in Como defender Ignace Van der Brempt. “He’s one of the players we’re keeping an eye on; we only want players who are motivated to come here,” explained Aquilani.
