Violent verbal attack on Franco Ciani: “Shame on you, say you sucked and ask for forgiveness”

Nearly sympathetic off-schedule with Sebastiani Rieti’s coach Franco Ciani, who at the end of the game lost at home to Avellino had to listen to a series of heavy criticism from one of those present.

“I’m intervening because you say it should be seen more as a glass half full this game – he said -: an assessment that left us dumbfounded, because the team is poor, it scored 35 points in thirty minutes, it was outclassed by the Irpini.”

“People are very disappointed, we saw the paucity of this team: Parravicini, Mian and Pascolo, who was a basketball player, who got them? I would like the coach to say ‘Tonight we sucked sorry forgive us’. Forgive my frankness and bluntness but I am not in it myself. I am first and foremost a lover of Sebastiani Rieti, today you are the coach, next year it might be someone else, but I am staying. Shame on you,” he added.

“I would have tended to respond but I think my response is no longer of interest,” Ciani remarked with great fair-play and style, evidently noticing that the interlocutor was leaving after the outburst.
