Perisan, who is the Empoli goalkeeper who stopped Milan- Corriere.it

How did I play so well? They pay me for that. Simpler than that could not be the answer of Samuel Perisan, 25 years old, great protagonist at San Siro against Milan. First a parade up Rebic in start of race, then another on Theo Hernandezfinally the one a few minutes from the gong up Brahim Diaz. it was a super evening in the stadium of dreams: I worked my way up like many others, in C and in B. Then I arrived in A. Vicar? Guglielmo my friend, let’s hope he recovers soon. I’m his replacement for him, but we wait and miss him, he continued.

Perisan, goalkeeper by chance

Paul Zanetti,

the Empoli coach who has never lost at San Siro this year (in January he won 1-0 against Inter), happy with his player’s performance: The role of the second goalkeeper is very important. If we have bet on Perisan because we believe in it. His job is not easy, because he has to replace the best goalkeeper in Serie A. He is doing it well and if Vicario were to leave, we already have the goalkeeper ready. And to think that Perisan ended up in goal by chance. Born on 21 August 1997 in San Vito in Tagliamento, a small town in Friuli: When I was little my brothers used to put me in goal because they wanted to run with the ball between their feet and I didn’t.

The bench and the mess tin

At the age of 10 he was noticed by the scouts of theUdinese and in black and white he faces all the youth categories up to the first team, where he is called up for the first few times by Andrea Stramaccioni in 2015. In the 2016-2017 season he made the third a Scuffet And Karneziswithout ever being able to play. From there begins a long apprenticeship: first Triestina, then Arezzo and Padua.

In 2019 he returned to Udinese to make the third again, this time by Musso And Nicolas (still zero minutes played). Then the farewell and the Pordenone in B. From there the turning point because Empoli wants him in June, with whom Perisan made his debut in A against Monza (2-1 loss). Finally, the dream evening at San Siro, an opportunity exploited in the best possible way. Waiting, who knows, for a starting shirt. The right reward for those who started from the bottom, without ever giving up.
