The manager of the competitive youth sector of Brusaporto, Stefano Turchi, suffering from ALS, was attacked during a dispute by the parent of a player of the opposing team during the Allievi Elite under 17 football match in Albano Sant'Alessandro, last Sunday, between Brusaporto and Uesse Sarnico.

According to what was published today by L'Eco di Bergamo, at the end of the match - as reported in the report to the carabinieri - the parent of one of the boys from Uesse Sarnico attacked the Brusaporto manager with kicks and punches.

Turchi, from Pistoia, 54 years old and resident in Val Calepio, former professional player in Serie A from Ancona was treated at the Seriate hospital and treated after the diagnosis of a head injury detected by the CT scan. The former footballer discovered in 2007 that he has ALS and due to walking difficulties he now moves around in a wheelchair.

«This way you don't play football, I'm morally destroyed - comments Turchi -. I am also scared at the thought that a person like me who loves football and who is unable to defend himself could become the victim of a tragedy. I'm thinking of abandoning everything, of stepping back, despite the fact that my whole life has been dedicated to football."
