“It was not a player, but a lightning bolt” – Libero Quotidiano

Few and heartfelt words, in memory of Paolo rossi, the hero of the 1982 World Cup who passed away this week and whose funeral was held today, Saturday, December 12, at Vicenza Cathedral. The few words are those entrusted by Vittorio feltri to Twitter, a short twitter in honor of a champion: “Paolo Rossi will continue to live in our hearts as football fans. He was not a player but a thunderbolt”, concludes the director of Free.

During the funeral in Vicenza, Cabrini’s words were moving. And again, they moved the images of Roberto Baggio, between tears, torn by pain for the premature farewell of a giant of our soccer. Or rather, lightning.
