Going Lup-ey about Monday

Posted on: Fri 22 May 2009

Arturo Lupoli looks at the history of Wembley, his own experience of playing there and his future at Bramall Lane.

To play in the first competitive game at the new Wembley, the U21 International between England and Italy, was a fantastic experience.

It was an unbelievable feeling to get the chance to play on the pitch for the first time and everybody involved knew they would be part of the history.

I was there with Derby a few months later and it will be nice to go there again with Sheffield United. I have got the programmes from those matches and my friend from Fiorentina, Pazzini, scored a hat-trick and has got the matchball.

The atmosphere was great even though it wasn't full and Wembley is such a beautiful stadium. Just to think who has been in and around that stadium makes me feel a big part of things.

I am looking forward to Monday and hopefully I will be able to get on the pitch. The most important thing is the result and I will be ready and totally focused if the manager needs me.

It would mean everything to me, I came here in January to get promoted. I hope that we can do that and I can stay next season, although I need to speak to the manager and Fiorentina, but that will be after Monday, of course.

The family will be there and ready to enjoy a very good game of football.
