“Con il presidente Maurizio Setti dialoghiamo ed è vero che non ci sono problemi fra noi. Ma etichettare con la parola “goliardia” i fatti accaduti all’esterno dello stadio Bentegodi al termine di Hellas Verona – ChievoVerona non è corretto. Da parte di tutti ci vorrebbe più coraggio nell’aggettivare certi episodi in un altro modo, per far sì che il derby di Verona possa essere davvero, e per sempre, vissuto anche in senso goliardico”.
Durante la conferenza stampa di ieri, sono state rivolte alcune domande anche a Salvatore Lanna. Il vice di mister Corini ha raccontato la sua esperienza ai microfoni della stampa.
