[Saba Sports News] According to latest Italian media reports, the old Italian league club Brescia with over a century of history is on the verge of declaring bankruptcy, mainly due to financial crisis. It is reported that the club owner refuses to repay a debt of 3 million euros, currently facing a total debt of 8 million euros. If there is no new capital injection, the team will soon enter bankruptcy proceedings. Brescia, with a 114-year history, has been promoted from Serie B 12 times and relegated from Serie A 13 times, enjoying a brilliant past. It has nurtured many stars such as Roberto Baggio and Andrea Pirlo, holding a certain position in Italian football. However, the impending bankruptcy means these histories and honors fade away instantly, and the past glories have become memories. The editor thinks that for Brescia’s fans, this is an extremely heavy blow. They have witnessed the rise and fall of the club and have deep feelings for the team. The bankruptcy of the team means they lose their support object, their long-term passion and expectations fall flat, and the sense of belonging and pride among fans also dissipates.
