After the disappointing home defeat against Acireale, Reggina breaks the silence with an official stance. The Amaranth club, aware of the delicate moment and the difficulties in the race for first place, wanted to send a direct message to the fans and the city, reiterating responsibility, unity and determination at the end of the season.
“Following the home defeat against Acireale, AS Reggina 1914 believes it is necessary to send a clear and transparent message to its fans and the entire city.
We are aware that the result achieved on the pitch has reduced the chances of achieving the objective of winning the championship. It is a reality that we do not intend to hide and for which Patron Antonino Ballarino and President Virgilio Minniti have assumed full responsibility since the minutes immediately following the final whistle. However, the championship is not over yet: we have the duty to continue fighting and honor the shirt until the last minute of the last match.
Between Saturday and Sunday, the Company gave rise to an in-depth and uncompromising internal discussion, which involved the owners, management and coach. A moment of hard and necessary analysis, during which all possible decisions were examined, including the most drastic ones.
From this summit a clear and unanimous will emerged: to unite and continue together until the end of the season, with the absolute duty to honor the shirt, the city and the sacrifices of those who support these colors every day.
From today there is only one objective: to take the field to get the most out of every single match, displaying pride, character and deep respect for our history. Only at the end of the sporting year will all the necessary assessments be made, with the utmost clarity and firmness, in the exclusive interest of Reggina 1914.
Now is the time to stand together. We ask the entire environment to rally around the team, called now more than ever to demonstrate its value with facts.”
