The incredible series of bombs from Allinei, the one from Fratto on the siren in the third quarter, the two from Saccaggi in the last 10′ which put the seal on the final. And again the presence – devastating – of Fantoni under the basket, the creativity of Tozzi, the determination of Ricci, the raids of Williams and Bargnesi and the 216cm of Dorin Bica who always cause boredom. With Lucarelli and Terenzi getting excited and cheering on the bench and on the sidelines together with the young Madeo and Vicenzini. There is all this in the success of Libertas Livorno in a splendid game 5 of the playoff final in which Andreazza’s boys deservedly won the promotion to A2. A triumph that came at the height of a championship at the top and a post season at crazy levels of intensity, where, in addition to the talent and physical strength of the Amaranth roster, what made the difference was the determination of a solid and cohesive group.
Libertas, the promotion in A2 is a family masterpiece: the secrets and protagonists of the Amaranth success. VIDEO
A big family – by the way, today will be the day of honors of the mayor Luca Salvetti and tomorrow, in Fortezza Vecchia, the party with the fans – in which everyone brings their own contribution, starting from the president Roberto Consigli who, before the decisive match , wanted to speak to the team by asking his boys to bring out, in addition to their own, an extra motivation to give their best: “Bring your love for Livorno and for this club onto the pitch, no one will have it more than us”. Words that evidently touched the hearts of the players, who took to the pitch in Roseto with something more than their opponents.
“Think of the image of Livorno that you love most and take it with you: no one will have more of it than us”
Consigli himself tells the background story: “Before the match I spoke to the team, it’s right that they know what we said to each other.” And, soon, we will also see it in the docu-series by Silvio Laccetti and Stefano Blois, “Livorno A due”, on the rivalry between Libertas and Pielle and the history of Livorno basketball. Words that Consigli also shared on Facebook with the result already achieved, as we report in full below:
“Dear guys, you are really lucky to be able to play this match, everyone would like to play it, players and non-players, many will not succeed in a lifetime, you are luckier because not only will you play it but you represent an entire people who love you. Now I don’t I can tell you whether we will win or lose, but I know that we will give our best and even more. Each with his own motivations, some will play because they are competitive players who simply yearn for victory, some will play for their family, some for their friends, some for their team. career, it’s normal for it to be like this. However, I would like you to bring something more to the pitch tonight, I would like you to bring your love for our city and for this club. Whether you came from Fano, from Montebelluna, from Amersfoort where the tulips grow, from Pesaro or Carrara you are from Livorno tonight, like me like Tommy like Gamba, we are all Livorno and so tonight the 4 dark-haired men take to the field with us, there is the Mascagni terrace, there are the waves of our beautiful. sea crashing on the rocks of Calafuria, there is the Boccale castle, think of the image of Livorno that you love most and take it with you tonight. And no one will be able to have more of it than us. Let’s go out and play together united like never before.”
