Brienza: “In Bari we realized late that we had to start thinking about salvation”

Franco Brienza warns Bari: the risk of relegation is very high. In the newspaper columns The Republicthe former playmaker declared: “The season was very complicated and the team perceived the danger of getting into trouble too late. This happens when you start with the aim of having a certain type of championship and you find yourself having another one .

Once the playoff objective was removed, we didn’t realize that we had to at least secure their stay in Serie B and for too many matches I saw a team without a soul”, said the former player, who was the protagonist – and also captain – with the Bari shirt between 2016 and 2019. Let’s remember that the Apulians, with two days to go, are in third from last place with 37 points, the same as Ascoli and Ternana. A year ago they came close to promotion to Serie A , which faded at the last minute against Cagliari.
