http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giovanni-c14985 Stroppa has voiced his delight at being appointed the new manager of Pescara, and has stated that he will be looking to bring his own brand of football with him rather than follow Zdenek Zeman.

The former Genoa midfielder stressed that while he is a big fan of the AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 coach, he will not be looking to copy his style of play that has brought so much success to the outfit.
The Italian international stressed upon the importance of refraining from any sort of experimentation in the upcoming season, and insisted that the Czech international has a philosophy to his game that no one can imitate.
The ex-Sudtirol-Alto Adige tactician was adamant that he will look to introduce his style of play at the Delfini, and insisted that he will refrain from trying crazy things that he is not comfortable with.
While talking to the press, the 44-year-old said:
“Being compared to Zeman is a great compliment. I love him to bits, but I don’t imitate him, because it is quite simply impossible. You can try to imitate his style of football, but never the philosophy. His constant attacking and forward-thinking approach
has logic to it, while those who try to imitate only end up being unbalanced.”
Stroppa went on admit that he has many sceptics, but stated that he is confident that he will be able to bring good results at Pescara.
“That is wonderful for me. You can’t imagine how much it excites me to prove the sceptics wrong.” He added.
