The Lions introduce themselves: here are their shirt numbers

The Lions introduce themselves: here are their shirt numbers

Superstition, loyalty, beautiful memories. These and other reasons behind the choice of the shirt number: the athletes of Bertram Yachts Derthona are no exception. Ten players for ten numbers. Let's discover them together.

Riccardo Tavernelli, already in Tortona last season, confirmed the 8th, ʺwhich I have always worn in my senior career, except for one year in Omegnaʺ, just as Bruno Mascolo once again opted for 14, with the same reasons as the parirole: ʺI've had it since I was a boy except in the Jesi season when I had the 8 in honor of my sister. I think it brings me luckʺ.

Jamarr Rodez Sanders is also faithful to his dear 22: behind his choice, the desire to honor his former partner, ʺCameron Moore, passed away doing what he loved most, playing basketball. By wearing the 22, I carry his name and the memory of him with meʺ. Line of continuity also for Matteo Graziani, who selected 13, which ʺhe accompanied me from the youth sector in Livorno to the youth national teams and in all my experiences: for me it has great emotional valueʺ.

A very important number in Argentina and a family bond behind Agustin Fabi's decision to wear ʺthe 10th, which Maradona and Messi had in football. In addition to this aspect, it is a number that gives great responsibility to those who choose it and, since I have been in Italy, I have had it almost always. Also, when he was younger, he was the number of one of mine brothers. A highly personal motivation in Lorenzo Ambrosin's choice to wear the number 7, It's the day I was born and a number that I really like and that I hope will bring me luck in this new adventureʺ.

Luca Severini was also faithful to the #20 he had last year: the basis of this confirmation ʺThere is no particular reason. In recent years I have had number 16, then once I arrived in Treviso it was already occupied and I decided to take number 20. Having done well that season I decided to keep itʺ. Giulio Gazzotti, one of the new faces of the Lions, will take the field with the number 6 ʺwhich, together with the 5, has accompanied me throughout my career. With the 6 on my uniform I won the Italian Cup with Cremona, it's a number that I like and I think it brings me luckʺ.

Jalen Cannon, another new addition, will wear the #5 uniform, which ʺI've had it since college and it's been my favorite. I was born on May 5th and 5 is a number dear to me family. The roster ends with Alessandro Morgillo, tied to 36 because ʺ3+6 is 9, my brother's number and since 36 was my mother's age when I was bornʺ.

A new season is upon us and the Lions present themselves, with their numbers.
