Federico Bonazzoli, Cremonese striker, declared in an interview with Corriere.it that he rejected an offer from Cagliari and that he chose to remain in SerieB for reasons of family closeness. The player, born in 1997, explained that his decision was guided by the desire to remain close to his parents and not to move too far from his "land of origin".
During the interview, Bonazzoli underlined how Cremonese has become for him an environment in which he feels very good. "Cagliari in Serie A was looking for me, but I said no. They are my lands, above all to be close to my parents and live together," he said. The player admitted that, at times, his football commitments led him to neglect important moments with his family, but reiterated the importance of finding a balance between professional and personal life.
In addition to the family issue, Bonazzoli highlighted the need for a holistic approach to training. “I believe it is necessary to bring attention to complete training, not only physical but also mental preparation,” he declared. He added that although seeking honors is a goal, it is essential to remember that sport also brings burdens and that to achieve results it is essential to be fully prepared.
The player, who has made numerous appearances for Cremonese, continues to give his all on the pitch, contributing to the team's fight for survival in Serie B. With the season still ongoing, Cremonese find themselves in a delicate position in the league table, and Bonazzoli's presence remains a key element in their hopes of achieving long-term goals.
Looking to the future, Bonazzoli seems determined to continue with the same dedication, maintaining his choice to remain close to his family and the club that welcomed him. His decision to reject Cagliari and stay in SerieB could serve as an example for other players trying to balance their career and personal life.
