He made his professional debut last year and has made 36 appearances for Pontedera, 26 of which he started. Midfielder Mattia Sala, born in 2005 , was presented this evening . "I believe Torres is the best team for me to grow at this point in my short career."
Sala grew up in the AC Milan youth system and then joined Pisa: "Going to the pros means playing against opponents who are 10 or even 15 years older than you. You also have to make a few extra moves, otherwise you'll get hit, because the game is more physical."
A versatile midfielder, Mattia Sala explains the positions he's played: "I started as a central midfielder, then I played as a mezzala, an attacking midfielder, and finally even as a winger, but I must honestly admit that the mezzala role is my favorite because it gives me more freedom on the pitch."
