Alessandro Perrotti, left back of the Fiorentina Primavera, has announced that he has accepted the invitation to participate in the first team retreat, a step that represents a personal and professional achievement for him. The young man, who started playing with the purple shirt at the age of ten, expressed great emotion when he received the news, calling it "a real euphoria". The training camp, led by coach Andrea Andreazzoli, took place in England, where Perrotti had the opportunity to play on high-level pitches and compete with his first division teammates.
During the interview with Radio FirenzeViola, the player explained how the training period was an opportunity for continuous learning. “Every day we learn from our teammates, especially the older ones,” he said, adding that his first match against Watford was a moment of great satisfaction. Perrotti underlined the importance of maintaining a positive attitude on the pitch, stating that "if you do well in that aspect, you also do well on the pitch". He also highlighted his strength in terms of acceleration, running and ability to snatch the ball, elements which he considers fundamental for his role.
The young man also spoke of the initial difficulties in adapting to the working method of coach Andreazzoli, who brings with him vast experience in Serie A. "At the beginning it was a bit difficult, but now we are following him and all the staff as much as possible", he said, recognizing the need to adapt to a more "adult" approach. Perrotti also mentioned his recent contract renewal with Fiorentina, which binds him to the club until 2029, and dedicated the stage to his parents, underlining their constant support and their presence in every match.
In terms of aspirations, Perrotti expressed his desire to make his debut in front of the Franchi fans. “For me, just getting in front of those fans is enough: it would be a unique emotion,” he declared. He added that if he could showcase his signature ball-and-chain start, it would be even more rewarding. The young man also recalled his experience with the defender Gosens, with whom he shared training and tried to learn from him.
With the training camp concluded, Perrotti is preparing to continue his growth path within Fiorentina, with the aim of consolidating his position in the team and contributing to the club's success in Serie A. The future of the young full-back therefore remains a topic of great interest for the Viola fans, who anxiously await his debut on the pitch.
