Beaten for mistakes made in the match. Goalkeeper Diame leaves Bitonto

Assane Diame let the Bitonto Calcio. The young goalkeeper of Senegalese origins, born in 2004, has decided to leave the black and green team prematurely, six days before the end of the regular season. No official news has yet arrived from the club, but it would seem that the choice of the former Molfetta was made in the aftermath of theaggression suffered last Sunday, when several hooded men attacked the bus of the Bitonto team returning from the away match in Rotonda. In that circumstance, therefore, Diame would have been the victim of beatings, due to some playing errors committed during the match on Lucanian soil.

«It is absurd to have to accept that a very young Bitonto footballer of just 20 years old has decided to leave our city following the vile attack he suffered. This is not our idea of ​​community. This is not the example we want to give to younger people – comments the mayor Francesco Paolo Ricci -. Diame was welcomed with great warmth by the black-green club and our team’s fans. The real fans: those who, beyond the results, support and sustain Bitonto on a daily basis, condemning any form of violence. Today’s defeat is a defeat for the entire community.”

In a few hours, at 2.30 pm, Bitonto will return to the field for the midweek round of the championship D Series. Gelbison arrives at the “Rossiello” sports center.
