Alessio Cerci was one of the great signings of Atlético de Madrid in the summer of 2014, after the team was proclaimed League champion. His good performances in Torino and with the Italian national team led the rojiblancos to bet on him. 14 million euros paid from the Vicente Calderón.
But from the first moment it was seen that it would count little for Simeone. The training sessions were not as desired, his participation in the matches practically testimonial … A few months later, he was transferred to the Milan. Then at Genoa. And later, transferred to Verona for four “kilos.”
With little influence on all teams, Cerci tried his luck in Turkey (Ankaragucu) and then returned to Italy, to the Salernitana. And now, he has signed three seasons with Arezzo, a team from Serie C, the third division of Azzurro football. All this, with only 33 years.
Looking back,
Cerci he assumes that he has not done things well. Does it in Corriere Fiorentino. There are regrets, obviously. If I'm in Serie C at 33, it means that I've made a mistake. But I have accepted the challenge and I think I can still give a lot, “says the footballer, adding that” at Fiorentina I felt very loved and that is important for a player. Going back to Tuscany after Fiorentina? It was a beautiful experience with ups and downs. A relationship of hate and love with the fans, but in the end we understood each other ”.
Another thing that Cerci regrets is having signed for Atlético on the last day of the market. Or rather, leave the Torino in those conditions. “If there is something that I would not do again, it is to leave Torino on the last day of the market, but there are things that happen that are not only the player's responsibility ”.
