Condolences to his family. Sigh
Zamparini: 'Serie A must go on'
By Football Italia staff
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini has criticised the decision to suspend all football in Italy this weekend after the death of Piermario Morosini.
The FIGC ordered an immediate halt to all matches after the 25-year-old Livorno midfielder collapsed during a Serie B game in Pescara.
“I have always been against this sort of decision, but it is also true that whenever a tragedy happens in Italy everything is halted. Therefore it is only normal they’d do the same this time,” Zamparini told Sky Sport Italia.
“The way I see it, a more logical decision would’ve been to continue playing in order to honour his memory rather than stop altogether.”
Morosini’s death was also marked in Spain, where La Liga teams including Barcelona and Real Madrid held a minute’s reflection before kick-off and wore black armbands.
It actually forms a nice bell-curve
Imagine how his sister feels right now... no words can describe that. Wish her all luck to pull through![]()
“He was an exceptional lad, so full of life. Despite all the problems he had, he was always at the disposal of the team and every day gave us all strength,” said Di Natale.
“I lost my mother four years ago and, as he had already been through this, he was very close to me. Watching the images on television was shocking. He wanted to get back up, but fell again. When seeing that, all you can do is pray the Lord will give you a hand.
“He wanted so much to live and find success, for himself, for the family he no longer had and his sister. I immediately said we could not play last night, as it wasn’t right. I compliment Inter and the FIGC for making that decision, as on a day like this football becomes impossible.”
