TOMMASO MENONCELLO’S BENETTON FAREWELL LETTER
In his Instagram goodbye, Tommaso expressed his love for Benetton and what the club means to him.
“I will never find the right words to thank and describe everything I have experienced during these 6 seasons, but I have dreamt of this last game many times and such a beautiful ending I had never seen.
While I was playing, I hoped that these 80 minutes would never pass so that I don’t have to say goodbye to this second family I grew up with, both as a player but above all as a man,” he said.
