The Lions have their numbers
The choice of the shirt number to wear during the season is an important moment for every player and the Bertram Derthona athletes are no exception. Between loyalty, superstition and family affection, here are the choices of the Lions. Richard Tavernelli he opted for the8, That is It's the number I've always had, except in Omegna, during my senior careerʺ, while Bruno Mascolo, he will also dress, out of loyalty, the 14, With whom ʺI have played since I was a boy. Only in Jesi last year did I get 8 in honor of my sister who was unable to take the field due to a physical problem. However, I like to think that the 14th brings me luck.
He doesn't even change his number Kenny Gaines, who will play with the number 12 ʺwhich has been my favorite since college. Ever since I had the chance to take it the first time, I promised myself that I would not choose any other numbers in my career. True to his 9 Matteo Formenti, latest purchase in chronological order of the Bertram Derthona version 2019/20, which explains how ʺI have always worn it since I was a boy. Only in Sassari, where the number 9 was already occupied, had I played with the number 5ʺ.
Instead I change for Matteo Martini, who couldn't bet on the beloved 13 and therefore chose The 31, which is one of my favorite numbers. It came up in a draw I did with another number dear to me and I decided to bet on thatʺ. Edward Buffo instead he will take the field with his number 7 ʺIt's fascinating and I really like itʺ.
Great loyalty to their number even among the players who will wear the black and white jersey: family affections are the basis of the decision to Rei Pullazi, who will play with the 55 ʺbecause my father was born on December 5th and my mother on July 10th (5+5th), so my choice is linked to themʺ. A strong family bond is also the basis of the desire to Janko Čepić to wear the number 16, As ʺMy brother plays basketball with the 6, so the 6 must always be present on my backʺ.
Loyalty and superstition instead in the choices of Andrejs Gražulis e Quirino De Laurentiis: the Latvian opted for the 24 because ʺIt's what I played with for many years in my career and what I now consider to be my lucky numberʺ, while the Italian returned to his beloved 13 ʺwhich I wore both in the youth team and in the five years spent in Agrigento. I like to think that it can also bring me luck in Tortona as it happened in Sicilyʺ.
