“Salvation for Reggiana was vital and we suffered a lot to achieve it. Having succeeded in the derby is one more thing”. This is how the president of the Emilian club speaks Carmelo Salerno interviewed by Il Resto del Carlino then focusing on the atmosphere in the match against Modena: “The crowd was wonderful, in Serie B you don’t often see 13,000 people in the stadium and then the choreographies of Teste Quadre and Gruppo Vandelli (the two ultras groups of the Direction Ed.) they were beautiful. I also thanked the Modena fans for displaying a banner in memory of little Diego (a young Reggio Emilia fan who died due to a serious brain disease, Ed.)”.
Then there is room for the final matches against Sampdoria and Parma: “We will play the next matches trying to win, but if we don’t succeed, there would still be reason to celebrate.”
Salerno then focuses on the coach’s future Alessandro Nesta and the director Roberto Goretti at the center of many rumors ahead of next season: “We’ll talk about it after May 10th, I’ll just say that they were decisive for the result. Nesta worked a lot to keep the group together in difficult times, Goretti instead received a lot of criticism, but I say that he won a championship and achieved salvation in two years. He always achieved his goal.”
