Nicolò Zaniolo he underwent his second surgery in eight months for cruciate ligament reconstruction in his knee. First the right, now the left: bad luck runs against one of the brightest young talents in Italian football, awaited by a new and long period of absence from the fields.
In fact, starting in December, barring a brief intermission in the final part of the championship that ended in August, Zaniolo appears to have completely changed his approach and strategy in the face of injury.
From the decision to wait a few days for surgery here is the announcement of the player’s mother, Francesca Costa, regarding the son’s choice not to rush the recovery time, contrary to what happened after the first injury.
“Talking with him and his father – Rocca told ‘Radio Anch’io Lo Sport” – Nicolò told us that if it takes five months he can wait until six or seven. You don’t want to get ahead of the times. In the first injury he wanted to return immediately. This time it’s quiet, I’m not putting a last step ”.
These are words that concern not little more than Paulo fonseca and all of Roma, who fear not having the player available for the whole season as well Roberto Mancini, the coach of the national team who was betting and betting on Zaniolo’s talent ahead of next summer’s European Championship, whose postponement due to the Coronavirus pandemic seemed to have favored Zaniolo after his first injury.
Zaniolo’s mother then gave an explanation about Professor Mariani’s choice to undergo surgery in Austria and not in Rome, as happened in December: “Dr. Mariani operated very well, the knee is perfect and in optimal condition, but For psychological reasons we have decided to operate in Austria. We have no doubts about the old operation, but we did not want Nicolò to go back on the same path. We wanted him to experience something else. “
Finally, a joke about Nicolò’s mood, very high after the first understandably difficult hours: “He’s very busy except for the first hour. The effect of the anesthesia passed and was charged. He is happy to have passed this step, he is actually afraid of anesthesia. He wants to start going to Trigoria for rehab. He could also do it at home but he said he wants to be with his teammates ”.
