In the end there was a position taken. Civil, without any offensive chorus and with unconditional support for the team from first to ninetieth. The Curva Sud, however, sent a message to president Iervolino and to the club unequivocally after weeks of apparent indifference and with many fans calling for a decidedly less soft line. And it couldn’t be otherwise, given the sensational errors that were committed.
A sort of summary of broken promises. From the left area of the table to large investments for the market, passing through Salerno, the city of sport and the desire to invest in infrastructure. None of this, hence the enormous and ironic thanks for a relegation which has easily identifiable “culprits” and which overshadows the two feats of previous years. No one would have expected such an about-face from a club that, having made the deal for 10 million, had envisaged projects of international caliber only to then rely so much on self-financing. Inexplicable.
The – few – spectators present in the other sectors applauded and approved. Then whistles and chants addressed to the players, the invitation to the team to go “away from Salerno” and the usual chants full of a sense of belonging and pride. While Atalanta scored and overturned the result, the South danced and sang because “we don’t really care, because there are only the Granata”. We will now see how the owners will respond to this official stance, made with style, a pinch of irony and without transcending into offenses and exaggerations.
