The 32-year-old midfielder from Sierra Leone, champion of Italy with Milan in 2011, is the gift that Polisportiva Favl Cimini, team from group A of Lazio’s Excellence, gave themselves for the end of the season…
After a long career in Italy and some adventures between Portugal, Croatia and Finland, Rodney Strasser has become a new player of Polisportiva Favl Cimini. The club, which plays in group A of Lazio’s Excellence, has reached an agreement with the 32-year-old former Milan player. “I owe a lot to Italy, it allowed me to grow and become who I am now“, the midfielder tells Seried24.com.
“I’m Italian, even if I was born in Sierra Leone – says Strasser -. I have been here for many years, I also have citizenship. Italy has given me the opportunity to become a man, to grow and improve. Allegri gave me the chance to play and I took advantage of it. I was young and had the opportunity to be in a team of champions. The Champions League is another thing, the day I made my debut I entered another dimension. Meet the best teams and players in the world. Ibra is great, even when he’s not playing he helps the team. He’s a locker room man, he gives you grit. A nice person on and off the field, he gave me his watch in the year of the Scudetto “.
“In the other championships (Portugal, Croatia and Finland) there is much less tactics – continues the author of a decisive goal in Cagliari for Milan’s Scudetto in January 2011 -, in Italy we are at the top. In Finland it is cold and the season is different, but I had a good experience and I was happy to get to know other cultures. It wasn’t easy at Cattolica, I was out and I wanted to go back to Italy. In Serie D, the league is tough, you run a lot, it was different from what I was used to but I felt good. The area was nice then. Cassano is a good person, just like Allegri, it’s normal to have different positions. All Milan fans remember me for that goal in Cagliari, decisive for the 2010 Scudetto /2011. Ronaldinho was the strongest of all for me”.
Strasser, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb, was officially presented yesterday by Polisportiva Favl Cimini, but he already made his debut on Sunday, in the away match against Nettuno, coming on as a substitute in the final minutes of the 2-2 draw from the team led by the former Viterbo coach Rosolino Puccica.
