The minute of silence, the tears of Antonio Conte and cheers from across the stadium, home of Brighton, to honor Gian Piero Ventrone on the occasion of the challenge of tottenham against De Zerbi’s team last weekend. Today, for the first time, Londoners play at home without their sports coach, who died at age 62 of fulminant meningitis. Ventrone’s memory, just minutes from the start of Tottenham’s Champions League match against Eintracht, was present in every corner of the stadium: from the main entrance with billboard, to the photos.
But that’s not all, the two teams posed a wreath in the place where Ventrone used to sit on the bench. In the stands, much applause accompanied this emotional and emotional moment, and meanwhile Tottenham fans continued to display banners as the stadium screen showed the face of Conte’s trusted manager. Strong and of great impact, the image of that empty bench but he rode with all his work kit that was practically an integral part of his life.
two wreaths of flowers, one on the spot where Ventrone used to sit, another on the floor with a note signed by all players. But the strongest image is certainly the one represented by his jacket, the stopwatch and the whistle: the objects that the sports coach used to wear and carry with him for all Tottenham training sessions placed right after Ventrone sat down during matches. He was very popular with Spurs players, and some were very close to him.
Especially Son, who looked very tired during the minute’s silence last Premier League weekend against Brighton. The image of the embrace between Ventrone and the Korean striker right after Tottenham’s victory against Leicester was nothing short of emotional and high-impact, testament to the enormous attachment that the entire dressing room had for Ventrone himself. His death was a lightning bolt that shocked the team ready today to win even for their beloved coach loved by the entire group.
