One of the Celtic calendar Pro12 joke gave him a nice week in Italy. But do not tell Simone Favaro as it was back home. "I just played two games in Italy, returning home is another thing." With his Glasgow Warriors, in fact, last week played Monigo with his former team, Benetton Treviso, while Saturday night is back in action in Moletolo in recovery with Zebras. For which technically it can not be considered an ex, as in Parma had played two years, but for Aironi. "It 's still nice to see so many friends."
PHYSICAL - The best news, beyond the full that have made the champions of Pro12 (81 points scored and 30 conceded, 10 points in the standings and third place), Simone is on a personal level: "At last I know and I can play with continuity. " Due to an unfortunate series of injuries, in fact, in the last two seasons in Treviso he had put together 17 games in all league and cups, while this has already reached 16 (with 3 goals). For this reason, after the World Cup had decided to focus exclusively on the work to be done! To return to play with continuity in the club, also giving up the National and the Six Nations. "I am very happy, I notice that there is trust and respect towards me and I reciprocate with the performance. We are a very competitive package of third lines and interesting, every weekend we play the place and we can not afford to ever relax. I arrived in a team that had a hard core built by five years, with players working together for five years and the same goes for the staff. And I found myself in a group and have been run in a structure already tested. When I arrived I had to think only of putting my ". And when it's all around athlete tested and working, the reflections are also seen in the field: "In the Italian continuing to always change every time you have to start with the basics: it is not a criticism, but the reality of the facts. Here in Glasgow he is working on the details and you can afford it. The internal competition is very high and at the same off we are a nice group of friends all know that to play with the shirt you have to give their best on the pitch. There is a great sense of belonging to the club and they all work the best: I was put in the best position to make the most. "
improvements - Playing in a club that aims to win a championship then allowed to Favaro going to discover an aspect of his game that maybe in the past, to put it mildly, has explored recently: "After two years in which I could not find a physical constant, I can not give me the parameters on the stages of the game in which I could be improved. One thing there is: game much more in attack. Besides, if you're on a team that in certain games ago more than 80% of ownership ... You have to play more with the ball, which, as you know, I do not like too much. I would just like to tackle, the thing I do best. " National Chapter: Six Nations has seen via television, suffering, of course. "We have to find an identity, it is the thing that disappointed me. But we are not a team to 40 points gap with the other. There is a difference to be bridged, through work. Making sure that the clubs become more competitive, they can win more often and build in the players a winning identity. I am positive looking to the future, we pick ourselves up. The next release will be a very important test for all players of the Italian movement ". Next exit which will be represented by the June tour with the new coach Conor O'Shea at the helm of the Azzurri. And Favaro there will be: "If I am called ...".
MY GLASGOW - Glasgow Simone has settled very well: "I live halfway between the center and the field. I was afraid of driving on the left, but in a couple of days you get on. There's a wonderful nature, ever. The climate is harsh, but it is a place to explore, recommend it to everyone. The food? Than we Italians, we have not ... But the base is good, meat and salmon, have different ways of cooking and sometimes I clash with classmates. But I made friends with a couple of Italian restaurateurs and send us the team: and the kids are all happy. " Among the places visited, Loch Ness, but the monster in the lake there or not? "I tried to look for him, I do not think ... But it is a magical place, a fabulous landscape."
