Invitation Letter To Kosovo

Anima Candida

Ok, when it comes to football (and sports in general) is easy to lapse into sentimentality: and romance of the ball and the mud, and the poetry of the bones that clash, and hugs males, and dressing rooms drenched (no, Aspe, I'm degenerating).
(E values \u200b\u200bof football than once, and when there was less money and more passion, and a life Oriali, and once this was all there was the campaign mica synthetic grass.)

But if we Laws a that after the Serie A after winning a championship, having played in England in Queens Park Rangers (yes, that Ecclestone and Briatore), after an interlude of China and a few games in the National, decide 35 years old, of back to playing as an amateur team in his country's first that stupid romance of a little 'is felt.

Damiano Tommasi is one that a young man chose to do community service because it "did not want to serve their country with a gun in his hand . Ten years ago it mobilized against the war in the Balkans, collecting over 250 signatures (and I imagine the effort it has made to explain it to Totti) and 2005, returned after a bad injury and considering the economic difficulties of his team, he agreed to play for his salary "workers" of € 1500 per month, which is unique in the history of football and not just football. Several times that year he wore the captain's armband red and yellow, and even scored a few goals.

Carlo Zampa (a true poet in his own way) dubbed him "white soul". Now probably is not candid souls who need the calcium unfortunate that sport needs heroes-but I imagine that his story and his career are enough to offset the existence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and some other pair of jocks like that. If you believe in karma, I mean.

(At the time, the Roma fans were singing "Play well play bad, we want the national team ... )
