After the further request for reprogramming the match, the “silent protest” of the Salento
First upset, now also angry and disappointed. Lecce takes note of the decision of the Serie A League and is preparing to fly to Bergamo and challenge Atalanta. The match against Gasperini’s team, originally scheduled for Friday evening, was postponed to Sunday (8.45 pm) following the dramatic disappearance of the physiotherapist Graziano Fiorita while the latter was in retreat with the Giallorossi. Lecce, who in the meantime, in despair, had returned to Salento, had asked for a further reprogramming of the game, denied on several occasions by the Serie A League. The decision is (currently) still confirmed: it is played on Sunday, even if Lecce continues to hope for a change of last minute program.
The request for Lecce
–
Baschirotto and his companions, still traumatized by the loss of a figure who had had a specific weight for twenty years inside the locker room, would take the field with Atalanta in decidedly not optimal conditions. To the psychological aspect is added the physical one, considering that the team has not trained in the past two days and, this morning, has carried out only a slight finishing lasting about an hour. The desire of the Salento club, communicated to the parties by President Saverio Sticchi Damiani, was to play the match on Tuesday and then after the funeral of Fiorita, whose body is still in Brescia, waiting for the autopsy scheduled for Monday.
silent protest

Moved by the sadness for the disappearance of a friend and companion and with an anger accumulated following the League’s decision, in the Lecce house it was decided to organize the trip to Bergamo during the day. The-group will arrive in the city in the late morning of tomorrow, will have lunch in the hotel and will go to the stadium, and then return to Puglia immediately after the game. Considering what happened just two nights ago during the Coccaglio retreat, the boys of the coach Giampaolo expressed the desire to not spend any night in the hotel. Lecce protests silently, continuing to hope that Atalanta and Lega Serie A tend her hand within the late afternoon today.
