The 2026-2027 Serie B championship began with a twist: Marco D'Alessandro scored an extraordinary goal, a curling shot that hit the top corner. At 35 years old, the Catanzaro midfielder has shown that he still has a lot to give on the pitch. In an interview with Corriere dello Sport, D'Alessandro spoke not only about his career, full of teachings and experiences with great coaches, but also about his ambitions for the future and the importance of not getting carried away by excessive enthusiasm.

"The season is long and a difficult path awaits us; we'll see what the body says" he added, highlighting the need for constant performance over time.
The player has a contract with Catanzaro which ties him to the club for another two years, but it is clear that he does not want to prolong his career beyond the appropriate time. After the disappointment of the near promotion last season, Catanzaro starts again with a new coach and new challenges ahead of them.
D'Alessandro has clear ideas about the teams to keep an eye on this season: "The favorites are definitely Palermo and the relegated teams, such as Verona, Cremonese and Pisa. Let's not forget Galloppa's Modena, who are doing well." As he looks to the future, D'Alessandro has also started planning his post-playing career, completing a sporting director course. With a practical mentality, he expressed his belief that young Italian talents should have the opportunity to play: "The talents in Italy are there, you just need to let them play. Everyone says it, but few do it. I'm a practical person: if you're good, you play." This attitude has been refined throughout his career, thanks to relationships with influential figures such as Adriano Galliani and Filippo Antonelli, without forgetting the special bond with Silvio Berlusconi during his time at Monza.
With these statements, D'Alessandro not only proves that he is a talented player, but also a strategic thinker ready to make his mark on Italian football.
