Slimy, tears and family help – Sports

One of the saddest Mondays that football in Campania remember. The social tam tam of Sunday evening did not reach everyone. And upon awakening, at the beginning of the week, many have learned that news that they would never have wanted to hear. Philip’s death Slimy, the 31-year-old footballer from Battipaglia who took his own life in his home in the Sant’Anna district, has marked the whole world. The gesture of the former captain of Avellino had a notable media hype: even the national networks, in fact, tried to understand what happened. What prompted the “pit bull” so loved by Avellino supporters to take his own life. Nobody can give this answer. Nobody can console the pain of family, friends, of the many teammates who had the pleasure and honor of sharing the same locker room with Pippo.
The time of tears, memories and pain will continue: today, in fact, Pippo Viscido will be buried, not before making a stop at the Pastena stadium, his “basin of dreams”, the one in which as a child he saw the Battipagliese grow up together with him, dreaming of emulating the Juventus players on the pitch. He had managed, in his career, to wear the zebra shirt several times. Then touring all over Italy, touching many squares – in particular of Campania – whose fans were speechless learning of the fate of that mastiff of the median, generous on and off the pitch. “Rest in peace, Pippo” is the short and simple message chosen by Avellino to remember him. In the comments of the post-social, however, the messages are very long. So many: “You were a real wolf, we will never forget you”, the synthesis of the thought of the people of Partenio. Then there is Afragola: with the rossoblu jersey of the Neapolitan team, Pippo had written the last, exciting pages of his career. And, now, it is the Afragolese who takes the field for him, starting a fundraiser to help his family: «Each of us has a positive memory of Pippo Viscido. He left a huge void inside all of us and it would be nice to try to reciprocate with a contribution to his family, destroyed by the pain of this terrifying tragedy, what he gave to our colors “, writes the club on social media, also attaching the coordinates to make donations. A beautiful gesture. However, he is only able to partially alleviate the pain of one of the saddest Mondays that football in Campania remembers.
