On the Corriere della Serain his daily front-page column, Massimo Gramellini explains the style of Gigi Riva I remember an episode from the past:
WORDS – “As a footballer, Riva never won the World Cup, but in the photos from Berlin 2006 he looks happy and proud, like a father.” When the national team returned to Italy and some politicians who had made fun of it took credit for the triumph Wanting to mix with Circus Maximus, he got off the bus, picked up his suitcase and left. Without saying a word, but with a gesture that would be worth more than a thousand tweets today if there were only a few number 11s left who were capable of it.”
