Marco Picchi responds piquantly to Frank Vitucci

Marco Picchi, the president of Derthona Basket, responds to Frank Vitucci from the columns of ‘Il Piccolo’.

“I’m very sorry for what Vitucci said in the press room,” says the number 1 of the Piedmontese club. “The visiting bench wanted to charge with agonism with a lively participation from the first minutes. But the game was fair. And there was no racist chant against Brindisi. I think Vitucci misunderstood the “Lions-Lions” chorus. There are no racist epithets in the Derthona Basket world. I am sincerely amazed.”

Derthona, it should be pointed out, is not among the clubs fined by the sports judge after the last round of league games.
