ROSE GARDEN. The good news for Roseto and the people of Roseto does not come from the council chamber but from Bergamo. The exclusion of the Orobic team from the championship rekindles the hearts and hopes of the white and blue fans. It will not lead us to be a direct relegation. This alone is enough to breathe a sigh of relief. The climate, at the press conference of the seven members of “Le Quote” who hold the Rose Garden Basketball and the mayor Mario Nugnesit is certainly more relaxed.
But the climate of détente did not last long. The time for Roseto’s greeting, Mario Nugnes and the speech of the president of Roseto basketball, Fabio Broccothe room freezes. «I’m not attached to the chair. I want to see the team save and then we’ll see what the situation will be. I cannot forget the insults and insults received at the stadium and on social media. I can’t forget this. However, I can guarantee that if I leave the company I will not abandon my commitment to helping this company.”
Brocco’s speech can be summarized here. A farewell announced with a salvation to be absolutely conquered. Brocco himself uses the topic to begin his speech. «If anyone thought they were giving up they were doing it all wrong. We will do everything to get to safety, even economic sacrifices and we are working to save the team. This season costs two million euros thanks to the commitment of the members of the “Le Quote” consortium. Our economic commitment, and I’m talking about everyone, is important and demanding. We will do more.”
After the promise to do everything to save Serie A2 (and the Bergamo affair could lend an important hand), however, comes the other side of the coin, the third part of the discussion. «When at the end of the match personal insults are taken, in front of my family and my parents then this is no longer okay. I’ve seen childhood friends of mine, with whom I see myself on a daily basis, insult me from the curve. This means that there is toxicity from the territory towards me. Beyond the lack of help from the institutions, from the Region which helps everyone but not Pallacanestro Roseto. What interests me is the contempt that has come out towards me lately. Seven months ago we were here, in this room, celebrating the promotion to A2 and planning the future. This is what I expected. Let’s get to the end of the season and then we’ll see if I’ll still be able to withstand what I received.”
Fabio Brocco’s message is clear, the words spoken sound like a farewell to the office of President. Brocco will leave unless salvation achieved on the pitch could make him change his mind. But at the moment it is only a faint hope.
