The press conference of the Hellas Verona staff saw the sporting director Sean Sogliano and the gialloblu manager Andrea Mandorlini answering some questions.

Sogliano, in particular, spoke about his work in this difficult summer market: "My will is to give to our manager the best team possible. Players who want to sweat, who want to play for Hellas and who want to build something important.
Regarding the market itself, I can say that we're satisfied right now but we need to complete other operations both in and out. We need two forwards and one centre-back, but we don't have to be haste".

He also added: "Now it will start an important moment of the season: the pre-season is fundamental for the players to create a group and to get to know each other and to understand what their manager ask".

Mandorlini is at Hellas since November 2010

Later it was Mandorlini's turn who said important words to thank some players: "This year there aren't a lot of players who were very important for us in the last seasons. The thing that must not change is the global spirit. We need to be the usual Hellas, a team that never give up, a cohesive group. Our worth was that in these year and it must stay". On the transfer market he said: "About Sforzini I can say that Grosseto are requesting an exaggerated price, the club is doing everything possible to sign him. Ebagua? I don't know him very well but Sogliano speaks very well about him. Cocco? Good as well. They are all players who can be useful to our aim".
Unavoidable a question about Hellas aim of the season: "I don't want to talk about Serie A now. It's clear that our ambitions are different from last year. But the qualities must be shown on the pitch and we did it last year". About the new players he said: "Everybody speak well about Bacinovic's qualities. Generally, I'm satisfied about the new signings".
