Nineteen goals, including a memorable bicycle kick against Ancona, the title of top scorer in Group B of Serie C and Olbia's early salvation. For Daniele Ragatzu the season just ended is to be framed and the future will always be in Gallura: «I can't wait to start again, I'm only thinking about Olbia», Lorenzo Piras' guest said on "L'Informatore Sportivo" on Radiolina, also recalling the recent renovation.
«I think this season has been a great satisfaction, also for what has happened outside of football. Then, due to my humility, I always say that luck is also needed, but I took away a little satisfaction. In Olbia they gave me great trust, which I really appreciated and I hope to repay: I feel at home there». With a special dedication: "To my dad, who was a teacher for us". And to the many who wonder why he hasn't had a better career, he tries to give an explanation: «Maybe there were my mistakes, or something of a character nature. You can like it or not like it to coaches and presidents, then hopefully you're good, otherwise not: you always have to demonstrate ».
United family. The link is also the older brother Mauro Ragatzu, who continues to score goals at the age of forty: he plays in Eccellenza at Sant'Elena, on Sunday he will be awaited by the play-off as an ex with Nuorese.
«I spent three wonderful years there, I didn't want to leave but unfortunately there were economic problems and when agreements are not respected you have to make certain decisions. Nuoro remains in my heart, but we want to win to go to the playouts». Mauro is an idol for Daniele, amply rewarded: «If my brother had had the trust he had in Olbia, he would have made another career. Last year he had one or two important requests, one from Bari now third in Serie B. I was a witness and I still have the request messages from Mignani, who wanted to take him on January 26 but our father had been missing for two months and he didn't want to leave Olbia. I'm proud of my brother: he doesn't just look at the money but at a serene environment».
Mauro's is the only revelation, because Daniele let it be known which illustrious former coach of his had contacted him after the goal that earned him 2-2 at the end in Sassuolo-Cagliari in December 2019: «He sent me a message Allegri congratulating me , he was happy for me. On a personal and human level he made a great gesture.
