ALEXANDRIA – What do the ‘globetrotters’ of football, those who are one day in Europe and the other in Asia, know about what it means to be grey??
The advice is to make a stop tomorrow in one of the places where the Gray Pride. the pride of loving a shirt regardless of the category. And toast, and talk, and wear gray on the day of farewell from professional football, without certainties about when we will be able to return.
We don’t cry, perhaps also because too many tears have been shed, and anger has reached unprecedented levels. Only in Alessandria can a very difficult day be transformed into a moment of celebration, of sharing, of pride in being grey.
Tomorrow, from the morning, toasts, meetings, anecdotes, even hopes. AtOsteria Fuori Centro, from Hop, Ai Due Stortiwith Geppo, Remo and Luca, who would rightfully be on the main float at the Gray Pride of those who live, however and always, for these colors
Five out
He knows Jonathan Binotto, what respect means for this shirt: he tried, as ‘second’ and then as ‘first’, but in the second part, the seven days in which he led the team, everything was now compromised. The fault, of course, is that continuity that Alessandria has never had. “Which we had found again in the first part, with difficulty, and it’s sad to have been sacked after an undeserved defeat, achieved with a goal in injury time and the other on a penalty”.
Then, upon returning, it was no longer the same,”not our desire, but too much had been lost along the way, in our condition and in our head. And we never found him again.” What will happen tomorrow, after the match against Vicenza? “The company has decided that it will, immediately, ‘break ranks’. Also understandable“.

And what will become of Binotto, who at least outlined a different interpretation of the game? “The number of passes has increased significantly – he adds – but the problem remains: you don’t score and, with this attitude, sometimes you risk conceding more”. Because six attackers are not enough. “In this category you need at least two or three double figures.”
The future? “I have chosen to do this job, and I will try to continue if I am given the opportunity. Because it’s always a question of opportunity. I wish the best for this square, for the fans, because the biggest defeat is to see them leave the stadium, a legitimate reaction, the blame we have to take”.
Who will be missing against Vicenza, tomorrow at 4.30pm? “None of the five outs in Legnago will be there“. So Rota, Siafa, Gazoul, Mangni And Fiumanò.
How many Spring? “Five: Colletta, De Ponti, Laureana, Molinaro and Muratore“, Anyone from the beginning? “No, we’ll see during the race”
