Claudio Marchisio remembers the 17-year-old overwhelmed and killed in San Daniele: “I ask for justice for Silvia”

by admin

The former Juventus player spoke on Facebook with touching words: “She was the daughter we would have liked and the champion we would have supported”

Claudio Marchisio is never banal. He was not as a footballer: his class shone and the plays he was capable of were often decisive. Nor is he as a TV commentator. Before being a former player and columnist, the Juventus flag is a man who has the courage to say what he thinks, gracefully but firmly. Tones that also characterize the post that Marchisio dedicated to Silvia Piccini, the 17-year-old from Gradisca di Sedegliano who died after being hit while she was training.

The former national team midfielder asks for justice for Silvia and her family, hopes for greater safety for those who risk something every day riding a bicycle on the road. «Since I finished my career as a football player I have been passionate about cycling – writes Marchisio on Facebook -. At first I thought it could be a way like any other to keep fit and to continue playing sports, but I didn’t understand anything. From the saddle of the bicycle we see the world in a different way, we have the impression of being able to read it and enjoy it in every detail. The bicycle is a gift, capable of telling stories of women and men. Stories of fatigue and sacrifice. Stories of overwhelming passions and big dreams ».

«Silvia Piccini had a lot of talent, a story to teach and dreams to realize – underlines the former Juventus player -. Silvia is the daughter we would have liked and the champion we would have cheered on. But above all Silvia should still have been here, with her family chasing her dreams like any seventeen-year-old girl. For this Silvia now deserves justice ».

Marchisio’s is the latest stance on the death of the Pedale del Sile athlete. There have been many for the umpteenth tragic death of a cyclist on the road: words of pain that are combined with requests for greater safety, with the appeal to motorists to have respect. Michele Gazzoli, who won the U23 Liberation GP on Sunday in Rome, expressed himself in these tones. The Colpack Ballan rider from Brescia dedicated the success to Silvia. «The victory is for her: I send a hug to the family from me and Colpack Ballan. His loss is a crack in the heart and at the same time a confirmation of what we go through every day. Being on the street is risky, we have families at home and there must be respect. For our part, but also for motorists ».

Even before that, the words of the Friulian riders had arrived, in particular Alessandro De Marchi. The “Rosso di Buja” wanted to remember Piccini also with the umpteenth escape of his career, in the last stage of Tour of the Alps in which he won the jersey of best climber. With the wind in your face, once more, in the name of Silvia. –
