EMPOLI. Mattia Giani he grew up in Monteboro, training in that sports center that makes you dream. Yes, because many professional players have come out and are still coming out on the sports fields on the hill near Empoli, some of whom have even become champions.
The years of the great dream
Giani, for years, played football here, wearing the Empoli shirt. A great achievement for any kid, the best for those like him who lived a stone’s throw from that plant. The unfortunate 26-year-old, who died after suffering a cardiac arrest, had also cherished the championship with the Italian under 17 team. Then the Pisa Primavera, years in the amateurs until the last sunken shirt, that of Castelfiorentino.
The memory of the blue club
“President Fabrizio Corsi, the vice president and managing director Rebecca Corsithe sports director Pietro Accardi, the managers and the entire Empoli Football Club express their condolences for the premature and sudden death of Mattia Giani, who grew up in our youth sector and was vice champion of Italy under 17 in 2015″.
Rebecca Corsi adds: «It’s the news you never want to hear. A footballer but above all a boy in the prime of his life, who was having fun on a football pitch. He grew up with us in Monteboro, he was part of a group that gave us a lot of satisfaction and today we are mourning his passing. I send a huge hug to the parents and the whole family in this moment of pain. The deepest condolences from the Italian club go to his brother Elia, also our former footballer, and to the whole family in this moment of great pain.”
