These days, the fans of Taranto are experiencing quite difficult times due to the works that will affect the stadium. To send a message to the company Eziolino Capuano, the coach of the Rossoblu, decided to bring with him to the press conference Carmine, an eighty-five-year-old fan who made himself known to the general public for his appeal in recent days. The Apulian had been caught in tears while talking about his love for the team and how he is against the choice to move the home games to Teramo. The works of the Iacovone are necessary in view of the Mediterranean Games, but this would mean not being able to play the matches in their own facility and with their own audience anymore.
The appeal at the conference
Carmine was the first to speak during the meeting with the press: "First of all, good morning to everyone, I just wanted to thank Mr. Eziolino Capuano for inviting me to this press conference. I only ask one thing: to have what is my right to see my colors here in my city and if it is not possible at least in the vicinity. I am convinced that Minister Abodi and President Gravina will let us play in Taranto. I apologize if I am causing confusion from North to South, but everyone is agreeing with me for what is my request".
The coach also spoke out on the issue: "For me it's an honor to have this gentleman here who I didn't know before. I have goosebumps. It's not football, it's sport, not Taranto, but the whole world. This morning some children asked me what they will do next year. It's not an appeal for the protection of Taranto, but for people who live for their own team, whether it's football, handball or basketball. You can't steal a feeling from people like this gentleman or children". The coach of the Rossoblu then continued: "You should be ashamed, you should go home. You are not capable of having the pleasure and the honor of leading a city. I am apolitical, I do not speak of Taranto, but in general. You cannot steal this feeling. Carmine spoke of Gravina and Abodi, who I have personally known for a lifetime. Now can I make an appeal? You cannot commit this outrage, you have to give people the joy of seeing their own team. You cannot rob the people, not Taranto".
