An anonymous white shirt, without any logo and sponsor: “No value, no color”. So the players of Lecce showed up at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo for the match against Atalanta played despite the opposition to the decision of the Serie A League not to accept the request for postponement to a date to be destined. The match was to be played on Friday 25 April but had been postponed for the death of Graziano Fiorita, physiotherapist of the Salento team. Lecce wanted to take the field only after the funeral, set for Wednesday 30 April, but the Serie A League opposed to guarantee the regularity of the championship.
The company has published a tough press release a few hours after the way of the game: “The US Lecce believes that the League’s decision to recover the race with Atalanta a few hours after the disappearance of our Graziano Fiorita, is terribly disrespectful of the serious mourning that hit the boy’s family, the company and fans of Lecce. In other cases, equally painful, more reasonable decisions have been taken. Based on the blazon of the affected company, or worse, in consideration of the role played by those who lack.
And again: “It was like this for our Graziano that for 26 years he served in Lecce and that, as far as we are concerned, he will continue to do so, at least as long as there is this property. Graziano Fiorita died while he was in retreat with the team, away from his wife and his 4 children and still lies thousands of kilometers away from home, waiting for the magistrate to authorize the return. postponing it were cynically rejected. Thanks to the minister of sport Andrea Abadi who until the last, but without success, attempted to make the game play on a more consonant date. Purple the rules blatantly, as if to honor Graziano a race must be taken, between us and the League, to those who do worse. We will play the game “of the walked values”, but we will do it wearing an anonymous white jacket, which does not represent us, without colors, coats of arms and logos. We will return to dress our shirt when Graziano will return home and will be honored, as he deserves, by his people “.
