Allesandro Rosina is a famous Italian footballer who acts as a left-back. For three seasons, he was part of the Zenit team from St. Petersburg.
A family
Alessandro Rozina was born on January 31, 1984. Place of birth - Belvedere Marittimo. Mother's name is Maria, father's name is Alfonso. In addition to Alessandro, the family has two more sons. The football player's brothers are called Francesco and Fabrizio. Alessandro Rosina began to take an interest in football as a child.
First steps in football
When the boy was five years old, he began playing for the Citadella del Capo club. Here he demonstrated an excellent game, which earned the attention of many famous Italian teams, including the legendary Juventus. However, Alessandro did not succeed in getting into the ranks of the "old Signora". The father of the future footballer did not want to give his son to one of the largest clubs in Italy, but instead sent him to Parma. It was here that Alessandro was to begin her professional career. But to begin with, he went through all the stages of the youth team - this preparatory stage took nine years.
Parma
Alessandro Rozina made his debut in Parma in February 2003. He played his first official game against Juventus as part of this team. The guy began to develop rapidly as a professional and show himself perfectly on the field. At first, he played the role of a substitute, going to the aid of the team in difficult situations. In the match against Piacenza, Alessandro Rozina, whose biography boasts a lot of interesting moments, appeared on the field with a score of 2-0 not in favor of his team, but, having made two assists, helped Parma win.
The new season was not as successful for Alessandro. The reason for the failures was not injuries, but a new tactic that the club coach began to apply. Now Rosina was less likely to be part of the squad, because for him there was no place. Nevertheless, this year brought Rosina a debut in the Italian youth team. He played the first game against Greece.
Verona and Torino
It was 2005, but Alessandro Rozina was unable to get a place in the first team. Where once played a promising junior, many did not know. The Italian and the club decided to rent, and soon he became part of Verona. Half a season in the new team turned out to be very fruitful. Alessandro Rozina is a footballer who was able to gain a foothold in the main team in a very short time, having played seventeen matches and scoring two goals.
After successful performances, Rosina began to receive offers from many clubs in Italy. However, his choice fell on Torino, which paid four hundred thousand euros for the player.
The very first season for the defender was very fruitful - he appeared on the field forty-two times. On his account there were twelve matches. Alessandro became the team's most productive player. After such success, the director of Torino completely redeemed the rights to the player from Parma.
The 2006/07 season was a little less successful for the football player. Rosina appeared on the field thirty-five times and scored nine goals. It seemed that the player’s career was declining, but the next year he did not cease to please the fans, scoring eight goals. In the fall of 2007, Alessandro signed a new contract with the club, which was signed until 2011. A few months later, Rosina became the captain of the Italian team.
Going to Zenit
Despite the good performance in the 2008/09 season, Rosina began to conflict with the fans. The result was that the Italian began searching for a new team. The German “Stuttgart”, as well as the St. Petersburg “Zenith” claimed for a football player. The transfer cost was five and a half million euros, but the club from Russia increased this amount to eight million. As a result, Rosina chose Zenit, which many professionals dreamed of playing for. The salary of the defender in the new club amounted to two million euros per year.
The debut in the composition of the “Zenith” took place in the summer in the match of the Cup of Russia. His opponent was the Nizhny Novgorod team. In the same meeting, Alessandro scored his first goal for St. Petersburg. That month brought Alessandro the title of best player in Zenit, where he scored two goals in seven games.
However, the further game of Alessandro left much to be desired. Until 2011, the player occasionally appeared in the roster, and then information was received about the defender's rental in the Italian Cesena. He spent exactly the season on the team and returned to Zenit. The St. Petersburg leadership at that time no longer needed an Italian footballer, and he was put up for transfer.
Siena and Catania
In the summer of 2012, the player returned to his homeland, where he began to play for Siena. He spent two years in the team, appeared on the field seventy-eight times and scored eighteen goals. In 2014, Alessandro made the transition to Catania, where he still plays.
