“Because of Bari I don’t sleep at night, I even have to take pills. I’m sorry I had an outburst the other day in the conference, but on an emotional level it’s a very hard moment for me too.” The defender and red and white captain Valerio Di Cesare to the microphones of TeleBari he spoke like this after the draw against Parma, which also came thanks to one of his goals, also returning to tears in the press conference a few days earlier: “Sometimes people should remember that we are human too and that we suffer for the fate of the team.”
The center back then continues talking about the decision to retire at the end of the season: “The collapse the other day is also due to the fact that these are my last matches as a player, it’s true that I’m 41 years old, but on a mental level it’s still a blow. – continues Di Cesare as reported Tuttobari.com – The year was disastrous and I was never able to enjoy these matches, much less now that I’m only thinking about saving myself. I’m not ready mentally, but I know the time is coming.”
Last thought then on the match against Cittadella: “This is always a tough match, every time we end up having a war. We have to win, there is little that can be done to make sense of today (Yesterday Editor’s note). Anyone who goes on the pitch, even excluding absences, must give 110% for this shirt.”
