The first part of the press conference by the director of the technical area of Lecce Pantaleo Corvino, who returned to the facts of Vicenza.
REASONS. “This press conference is intended to make some promises, the conclusions of which you can draw, on what has happened in recent days. However, I would like to say that our attention is entirely on the present and on Friday’s commitment. We want to do our utmost to get the championship and Serie A victory that we fully deserve. If the fans see us talking about something other than Pordenone they will not have to worry, because both us and the team are fully focused on Friday’s match, especially the team that yesterday, despite training was optional, was fully at work ”.
NO TO THE FIRES. “We condemn all forms of violence and emphasize all forms, including a single firecracker if thrown near other people. And we also condemn a firecracker thrown to rejoice away from the pitch, under a barrier, because there are other ways to rejoice. We encourage the culture of rejoicing in other forms, even if I repeat a firecracker thrown in that way there is no risk that it can harm someone since it has arrived under the barriers, far from anyone “.
NO ILLATIONS. “I emphasize that there has been no conjecture by Vicenza or by any steward. We cannot even think that what happened could have been studied by a club I know well and that I know its correctness ”.
CONTINI UNFAIR. “Every Sunday in every stadium in the world we live with firecrackers. We condemn them, but it is a fact that they are everywhere and that elsewhere you don’t see such long stops for a firecracker launched under the barriers to rejoice. The firecracker was emphasized, but it wasn’t that which altered the game, then we’ll see if it was a fan or not. However, what was a scene, or rather a antics that altered a game that saw us win with merit and in Serie A. Today we would be celebrating Serie A, but this card from Vicenza denied this joy to our city. I have seen all the images in depth and I can say that the goalkeeper was a scene, the firecracker was emphasized and not the attitude of the card holder. An investigation should be opened by the prosecutor, we ask for it. I have always been loyal in my career, just as loyal has been Vicenza Calcio and certainly the steward. But the treachery that has been seen must be condemned, it has altered the atmosphere of the match, perhaps even influencing the VAR, because you don’t even give that penalty under the microscope as you don’t see repeated penalties for a foot. Go and see where the Venezia goalkeeper was in the missed penalty by Mancosu that cost us the playoff final last year ”.
