Newly promoted Serie B side, Crotone Nigerian forward, Simy Nwankwo has stated that the team is ready to battle for a difficult campaign in Serie A following their return to the Italian top-flight after spending one season in Serie B.
Giovanni Stroppa’s men finished in second position behind Benevento last season as Simy emerged top scorer in Serie B last season with 20 goals in 37 appearances.
The team was promoted to Serie A, for the 2016–17 season, the first time in the history of the club, and that adventure lasted just two years following their relegation at the end of the 2018/2019 season.
“Sunday will start another important season both for Crotone and for our life. It will be difficult and we know it, we are trying to prepare for it better. Serie A is difficult and with this preparation problem it won’t be easy for anyone,” he told the club website.
Crotone is already anticipating another tough spell in the top-flight as they look to defeat Genoa in their opening game of the new season on Sunday.
