Olimpiu Morutan praised by Andrea Pirlo: “Phenomenon”

In an interview with La Repubblica, Corrado stated that Morutan impressed Pirlo, coach of Fatih Karagumruk’s team, in Turkey (when he played for Galatasaray).

“Last year we didn’t have many players ready to jump, this year there are a lot more. Toure is in high demand, as are Beruatto and (Marius) Marin.

Morutan surprises only those who did not know him. At Forte dei Marma I met Pirlo, who is training in Turkey, and he told me we had a phenomenon.

No one will leave in January to win, we need to keep the best, we will think about it in the summer” – Giovanni CorradoPresident of the Pisa Club.

In 17 championship matches played, Olimpiu Morutan scored four goals and provided 7 decisive assists (the most in the Serie B tour).

Pisa, who are also developing Marius Marin and Adrian Roos, are 5th in the table with 29 points.
