«How do I feel? They made me hit rock bottom. I would never have imagined something like this."

To define Mauro Ragatzu as disappointed is inadequate. The Quartese striker is stunned and heartbroken. Furious with the club, with Monastir, and with those who «last June shook my hand assuring me that I would stay and instead on Saturday called me to tell me that I was no longer part of the club's plans».

An unexpected and painful ending for someone who with his goals (40) dragged the team to Excellence at the age of 41. A record. Which, however, had no weight in subsequent market choices.

«In June some teams looked for me, even important ones, but I said no because I had given my word to Monastir already in March. Now those who contacted me have spent their budget to go to other players. And at the end of July, with the training camps starting and the teams ready, I find myself on the ground. Absurd. For me they have scraped the bottom, you don't behave like that."
