The greatest emotion at the "Nespoli" was offered by Daniele Dessena, announcing after the match between Olbia and Spal, won by the Ferrarese 4-1, that that was the last match of his career.
Replaced by Oberdan Biagioni in the second half, the former Cagliari captain, in Gallura for 2 years, left the pitch accompanied by the applause of the public, unofficially informed of his farewell to football by the rumors circulating in the environment in the previous hours. Then, the gossip was confirmed by the person concerned, honored on the occasion by the club in the person of Ninni Corda, consultant of SwissPro, owner of Olbia. "It's difficult to talk after a relegation, but I stop playing because my time has come: the objective was to do it in Sardinia, where I have always felt at home", explained Dessena, who on the island, between Cagliari and Olbia , spent 12 years of a long career, which began in 2005 with his debut in Serie A with the Parma shirt at 17 years old. «The decision was made during the season, perhaps due to the difficulties, even though I had renewed for 2 years», added the midfielder, overcome by emotion. «I thank everyone, starting from my wife, my son Tommaso and the son who will be born in August, who will only have a photographic memory of his footballer father, and I wish Olbia – concluded Dessena – to return soon to the football that counts» .
Meanwhile, Olbia's experience in Serie C after 8 consecutive seasons ended sadly with the 24th defeat. Fermana were also directly relegated in the same group, Alessandria and Pro Sesto in Group A and Brindisi in Group C, but not all of these will be able to submit the request for repechage which the Gallura club is instead preparing: more will be known after the conference tomorrow's press, in which the members of the board of directors Klaus Schwerdtfeger and Benno Räber and, remotely, the president Guido Surace will participate.
