Salerno Guiscards brings Candida Viscito home

Salerno Guiscards scores another coup, the eighth of this summer market and brings home the opposite Candida Viscito. Salernitana, born in 1996, the player returns to Campania after two years in Cerignola, returning to her hometown with a considerable technical background and experience. Pro Patria, the youth teams of Busto Arsizio, Fiamma Torrese, P2P, Accademia Benevento, Jesi, with many championships won and many satisfactions were the stages that brought the new opposite of the foxes back home: «Play the Serie B2 in Salerno – declared Candida Viscito – it almost seems like a dream. I have never played in my city and for my city. On the one hand it feels a bit strange, but on the other it gives me an incredible rush of enthusiasm and adrenaline. I can’t wait to get on the pitch».

From Salerno, albeit from afar, Viscito has followed the growth and evolution of the Salerno Guiscards over the years: «I know the club well, which is really very well organized, I have known coach Paolo Cacace for a long time even if I have never had the opportunity to be trained by him. I accepted the proposal of President Pino D’Andrea with great joy because, after two seasons that were certainly not easy in Cerignola, I needed an environment like this to redeem myself from a personal point of view». To get to the top at the start of the season, Viscito has been working again for several weeks now: «Having had a small physical problem last season, I started a recovery process aimed at getting back in shape as soon as possible. I also started jumping again, but I am fully aware that the recovery will have to be gradual, but from the beginning of the preparation I will be available to the coach, ready to give my contribution.».

For the first time in its history, Salerno Guiscards will play in Serie B2, a championship that Viscito knows well: «The group will not be new, even if the teams radically change the roster every year. In recent years the level of Serie B2 has risen and I believe it will rise, compared to last year, also this season. There are four or five teams that have invested a lot, hiring players of a higher category. There will be some battleships but also many teams on the same level. I believe that we we will be able to have our say and have fun». This is his point of view on the seasonal objectives: «We need to start with the idea of ​​achieving safety as soon as possible, also because the primary objective of the club is to consolidate itself in this category. I think that with work we can get to the top. The objective, in reality, must be built one step at a time, day by day, to then get going and express our potential to the fullest. The club has put together an important team but I believe that any gap can be filled with work, with the team spirit that in this championship can make the difference given that names are not enough to win matches».

This is how Candida Viscito introduces herself to the Salerno Guiscards fans: «I am a player who likes to work and live the locker room life. I am very determined and I am a dragging. From a technical point of view it is not up to me to say. I started as a spiker but since 2017 I have been playing opposite even if I like to receive but defend a little less. I especially like to attack while I love to hit with a jump spin. To all the fans I promise maximum commitment and that we will make them have fun, hoping to see the Senatore gym always full“. Finally, the choice of the shirt number: «I’ve always had the 13because it is the date of my birth and then because of many beautiful things that happened to me on the 13th. By now it is a number that is an integral part of my life and my career».

The president of Salerno Guiscards Pino D’Andrea is really satisfied with the arrival of Candida Viscito: «Candida’s addition to the roster is the icing on the cake. – declared the Foxes’ top manager – She is an athlete who has gained a lot of experience around in Serie B championships and who is finally returning to her city. This is a source of pride for us, considering the fact that in the past we also tried to hire her but we did not succeed. With the arrival of Candida I can say that I am satisfied with the market, now the field will have to speak. The club has moved in the best way to form a team capable of entertaining the fans and above all capable of settling into its first national championship».
