She was one of the dragsters of the season and the lighthouse of the Gialloblù attack. A second place obtained thanks to its networks, many and often heavy. He doubled the goals of the last year but wants to improve again. Alice Martani, the yellow-blue 9.
A striker, as well as for the satisfaction of the team, also lives for the goal: how much for her to be the best striker of the group and one of the best in the B series?

"Scoring for an attacker is the best thing, but it is not always easy to throw in the ball. When you manage to score goals you are overwhelmed by an indescribable emotion and this year I was lucky enough to experience this emotion well 26 times. A goal that I honestly did not expect to reach. Winning the scorers has made me very happy, also because it is the first time that happens and I must say that it is beautiful. I felt rewarded for all the sacrifices and efforts made up to now. Surely it has had a lot of weight for me, also because people are expecting more and more, so having succeeded is something that I will always carry with me ".

Was there a moment when you thought you could really win the scorers?
"Initially I had not asked myself the question; I left thinking to do well and reach third place. In the first few games the gap between me and my opponents, regarding the number of goals, was quite wide. Some players were already in double figures, but I saw that the more the matches went by, the closer I came to them. When I arrived at three or four goals from them I told myself that I could do it, and so it was ».

What was your best goal of this season?
«The most beautiful goal was certainly the lob to the goalkeeper of Clarentia Trento, in the first leg. On the launch of Peretti I saw the goalkeeper a bit 'out of the posts and I surprised him from the distance with a lob that went under the crossbar. I must say that also the goal against Bologna, on the return, I really liked ».

The credit goes also to the assist woman team with her. A perfect understanding.
«The credit goes also to my team, without them I would not have managed to reach this figure. I take this opportunity to thank everyone from the heart. The feeling with Martina and Rachele has grown after every game and after every workout. I remember that at the beginning of the season the coach always put us together, in every exercise and in every training session, and the result was seen (laughs, ed). I think this was the key to learning to know and understand each other, both on and off the pitch. "

Earlier in the season he said his goal was to improve the 12 goals from the previous season. Now what's the new?
"If the goal of last year was to improve, next year's will not change. I want to improve again and even if I know that exceeding the 26 goals of this championship will be very difficult, I will give it my all. "

Of the possible winners of the scorer standings, what was your second most dangerous rival?
«The most dangerous rivals were the three with whom I played the victory until the end: Yeboaa, Perobello and Piai. I do not want to say one, because they are all very strong. We played it until the end and we finished the season very close as regards the number of goals. I take this opportunity to sincere congratulations for the season just ended and I wish them all the best for the future ".

Triplet to the last game, a ball signed by everyone and second place obtained on the last day. A perfect ending?
"An almost perfect ending. I am a perfectionist when it comes to football. The perfection would have been the achievement of the first place, but I must say that in any case we have done something wonderful and each of us will bring in this memory forever. I am very proud of my team and all that we have been able to do together. I want to conclude by thanking all the people who have always believed in me and who have supported and helped me ».
