“Viterbese had been there too, it’s a shame”

An Federico Guidi furious at the end of the match between Casertana and Viterbese. So coach rossoblu at the press conference: “It no longer makes sense to talk about football here. I heard some very bad words, which put personal interests before the common good and health. The moment is difficult for everyone. Hearing a Viterbese coach: we don’t have to choose” whether to play or no. In those words is the man who fills it, who is not a man. The Viterbese went to Vibo Valentia to play, an outbreak broke out, the president of the Vibonese also ended up in hospital. Vitebrese had passed he wanted to play because it was an important game for salvation. When you put the health of your players, your family, first, I must say that you are a shitty man. Three of our players took to the field that were wrong. And who did the Lega protect? To nobody. And the president of the other team left.

What signal did Italian football give around the world? Watching a game from nine to eleven, when all the conditions existed to postpone it, when only us and Bisceglie are one game less away, there was no problem. They should have put a hand on their conscience. You draw conclusions about our football and our country.

When the outbreak erupts in December, after having played 13 games, it is physiological that there are serious injuries and suspensions. At that moment Matarese was available to us, with the broken crusader, or Bordin, with the fracture. And despite the fact that everything was certified, accidents and so on, they did not flinch. In the hope that something doesn’t happen to them, too, to the boys of Viterbo. In three days, like today, we will make the trip to Castellammare. Konate will return from disqualification, there will be ten of us.

The aspect that bothered me the most is the obstinacy of wanting to play a game, putting everyone’s health at risk. The moment you tell me that you have been there, that you have experienced a similar situation, because between Vibonese and Viterbese we have been infected, it means that you put other interests before health. Aware that it can cause harm to the community, it means not respecting others.

However, I want to thank the guys who took to the field with all the problems of the week and the uncertainties in the locker room. If I could, I would have hugged them one by one, they were monumental and I’m proud to be their coach. ”
