AN INTERVIEW WITH THE FUTURE ITALIAN HOLY GOALIE

Daniele Giordano, 17 years old from Poggioreale (Naples) joined few months ago Celtic Fc, coming from Lecce youth team.

 

Q: Daniele, how did you join Celtic Fc?

A: I played four years with Lecce, but during the last season I didn’t feel good so the only way to go away was to choose a foreign team. Many teams, both from England and from Spain were interested, but in the end I chose Celtic, because I think this is the team in which I can show all my qualities better then anywhere else.

 

Q: What can you tell us about your first days in Glasgow? Were they hard? It’s a city a bit different from the ones you were used to live in.

A: Well, it’s difficult at the beginning. The first big difference is surely the climate. Then, obviously, the language. But I am improving with my English.

 

Q: What about Celtic Fc? How did they welcome you?

A:  Celtic Fc is organized very well, but one thing in particolar impressed me: the people. They are very very kind. I must say I have never met before people who are so kind. I was welcomed in a wonderful way.

 

Q: Then, tell us something about your relationship with your team mates.

A: It’ all right. They welcomed me very well and since the first day of training they considered me one of them.

 

Q: Now are you the first goalkeeper of the Youth Team?

A: Yes, now I am the first goalkeeper of the team. My coach is Stephen Woods and I have a very good relationship with him.

 

Q: Did you know anything about Celtic Fc before joining the club?

A: Yes, I knew something, but not very well. Now I can say everything is very beautiful here.

 

Q: Have you heard about the big rivalry between Celtic Fc and Rangers?

A: Yes. My team mates told me something. It’s a big rivalry that exist in every single league, from the youth leagues to the Scottish Premier League.

 

Q: Have you met Massimo Donati? What has he told you?

A: Yes. I have met him. He is a very kind person, and he has said to me that, if I need something, I will be happy to help me.

 

Q: Have you already been at Celtic Park?

A: It’s a theatre. Another wonderful place is Lennoxtown.

 

Q: A last question: do you play also for an Italian National Youth Team?

A: Yes. I play with the Under 18 Team.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE ITALIAN CELTS

Happy Birthday!!!

One year is not a long time in life, but in our life of Celts means a lot. Even, allow me to say that it means everything. So, thanks to our forum online, thanks to Celtic, our team that makes us go crazy or makes us happy but, most of all, allow us to stay all together as a big family. As happens in every family, then, everyone has his own opinion, gets angry, is moved to tears, especially when one of our hero leaves the team, or jumps for joy for every hard-earned victory; our birthday is all these things together and even more. I want to make a praise to all the people who do a lot of things for the forum and the club and don’t receive anything back. Only, but it’s a very important thing, they increase their and our passion for Celtic, a passion that by now it’s part of us and we have in our blood. Secondly, I wish that both the forum and the club, that is our big family, will continue for a long time and that this can make us grow up not only as football supporters but also as men. Finally I want to thank with all my heart Max Troiani from Rome, the first person who published online our blog “Memocelts”.
