Edilnol is safe, the great party of the fans

by admin

Sunday’s salvation will remain in history. The party, on the other hand, ended up in stories. Those of Instagram continued to animate that it was almost night, on the profiles of Edilnol, or rather of the gang as Jeffrey Carroll would say. “It’s summertime”, it’s summer, shouted the American who gave the turning point to the rossoblù season when people were still all at the Forum. Race-4 was played at 16, because the world of basketball was afraid of competition from the European football championships. But of Italy-Wales, near the building, nobody cared a damn. It would probably have been the same even if the concomitance had been with the final. Only one thing mattered: celebrating salvation in A2. And to do it by embracing one by one the protagonists of a difficult, absurd season, but with a happy ending that makes you forget everything. The siren had not yet sounded to sanction the +11 which was worth the 3-1 on Rieti that was already jumping in the corners, on the stands and also on the field. The triple of Carroll’s stirrup released Squarcina’s joy, who jumped over the insurmountable confines of the technical area to scream with fists raised under the curve. The boys on the bench were celebrating among themselves, waving towels. Carroll and Barbante leapt at each other in elation as Wilson passed between them to go for the basket, wrong because the basketball gods had already decided. And then, when the match is over, the splashes of water on the parquet and the tears on the faces of the most sensitive, the coach first of all. Marco Laganà, the captain, hid his face in the tank top to be able to release the emotions of a very complicated year in peace. Also for this reason he arrived a little later in the curve, where Matteo Pollone led his teammates to embrace the fans more closely, with an almost shy like Simone Barbante leaning against the balustrade like a trade unionist at the rally and with Teddy Hawkins who perhaps, after so many months, he realized how important it was to play for Biella. “Today we had a little taste of what the season would be like with the public,” commented assistant coach Andrea Niccolai, his soaked shirt and the memory of PalaPajetta as deafening as he saw it. When he came out in the square of the yellow grandstand, where the party has moved, he first tried to make fun of the team: “Tomorrow training?”. Then he launched a chorus like an ultra leader. All around the souvenir photos, between teammates and between players and fans, and a branded cigar that was spinning, like in the Bulls locker room when Michael Jordan won. A happy supporter held Matteo Pollone’s vest tightly. He, shortly after, also gave the shorts. Then, in flip flops and mustard yellow boxers, he slipped into the Forum, whispering: “Who cares, it’s over now.” Yes, and it ended well.
