The Lions choose their jersey numbers
Bertram Derthona's second season in Serie A has begun: there are six confirmations and six new faces on the team roster. Let's discover together the shirt numbers they will wear during 2022/23.
Loyalty to their number, which accompanied them for a large part of their career, for all confirmed players: captain Tavernelli will continue to wear the #8 vest “who accompanied me in all the teams I played for with the exception of one year in Omegna”, Filloy the #12 to which it is “very fond of it because my father and brothers also had it” and Severini on the 20th, with whom he takes the field “from the years I was in Treviso. It brought me luck so I decided to keep it in the following seasons too.".
Continuity also for the Americans: Daum will again have the #24 which “I chose my mother, who made me grow a lot as a player. The 24 represents family and the people who love me.", Macura and Cain on 55 and 30 respectively. JP has been wearing it since college, when “the 33 I had in high school was retired at Xavier, so I had to change”, while Tyler remains faithful to the number that “I have had throughout my university adventure”.
In addition to Tavernelli, the two playmakers of the team are Semaj Christon and Leonardo Candi: the former chose the number 0, while the player born in '97 opted for the #7, “that my father wore when he played football. As a boy I had the number 13, then when I moved to Fortitudo I had to change it because he had retired and I always chose 7".
The decisions of the other Bertram Derthona wingers for 2022/23 are also in the name of continuity: Demonte Harper will take the field with the #22 jersey from which he is “I was attracted from the moment I had to choose it in my freshman year in high school. I liked him straight away and I selected him in all the teams I played for.", while Niccolò Filoni is faithful to the 75 he had “since Bassano, my first experience away from home. I hope it stays with me for the rest of my career.".
In the long department, he continues to wear #43 Leon Radošević, maintaining that “which I have always chosen in the teams I played for”, while Leonardo Okeke chose 13, “a number that I really like”, for his first season with the black and white shirt.
