And let there be light. Since Friday evening the luminous writing “Alè Udine – difentiamolA” has been projected onto the Lionello loggia. The Friuli flag was also raised in Castello. This too is a way to support the team in the hope that it will remain in Serie A.
«Udinese is not just the team from Udine – says the sports councilor Chiara Dazzan –: it is the symbolic team of an entire territory. We talked about its economic impact, but equally important is that linked to the passion and feeling of the community.
There are Friulian citizens who started supporting Udinese as children and are now mothers and fathers. There are people who have never seen their team play in Serie B.
In these 10 months, the fans, even the most critical, have never stopped supporting the team, despite the difficult and disappointing season. Last Sunday the demonstration of affection towards the team was exceptional: the Friulians made it clear how much Udinese’s stay in Serie A is worth to them.
A declaration of love that I hope has entered the hearts of every single player, coach and manager.” «Permanence in Serie A – adds deputy mayor Venanzi – also has a political and identity weight».
«Udine deserves to remain at the top – concludes mayor De Toni – and to continue to grow and its team with the city». Fingers crossed then.
