"I'm doing very well. The first meeting was constructive both for me and the people who were there. It's obvious that I miss playing with my teammates. But I'm happy with what they're doing. I'll still have to talk to the FIGC. But I think many will be here in Piedmont, they will decide which other meetings I will have to do. I share my experience to be of help for those who are younger than me and therefore should not go through this. Of course I miss playing with my teammates but I'm happy with the journey they're making".

The 2001-born midfielder has been disqualified for 12 months by the FIGC Prosecutor's Office, with 5 months of rehabilitation expected. Fagioli continues to train at Continassa with his teammates, but will not be able to return to the field before the last day of the championship.

Also the president of the Order of Psychologists Piedmont, Giancarlo Marengo intervened after the meeting: "We have set up a circular setting, so that everyone could intervene, it was more of a  dialogue  than an intervention by Nicolò. I think he felt comfortable.  It was a constructive moment for everyone".
