Rosaria Carpinelli Consulenze Editoriali

Dreams realised or shattered by a matter of details. Predestined results overturned in an instant by glaring mistakes or sudden intuition. Impossible feats achieved against all logic. Football is a game, of course, but every football fan knows that in those ninety minutes there is much more: every time the referee whistles the start of the match and the ball starts running, hopes, fears, joys, disappointments, mistakes, surprises chase each other on the field, which, as if by magic, become mirrors of the emotions, of the choices, of the situations we live every day. It is precisely from this correspondence that Walter Veltroni started out, and in this book he meets the great champions of yesterday and today to retrace with them the sporting stories that have made us all dream and to seek out the deepest, and often hidden, side of the world of football: from Rivera to Tardelli, from Zoff to Buffon, from Paolo Rossi to Ibrahimovic, exciting matches, extraordinary goals, unpublished behind-the-scenes stories, episodes that have decided indelible victories (and defeats) and formed the character of champions, flow through the memories of the protagonists. Between unrepeatable strokes of genius, unforgettable triumphs and legendary challenges, all the wonder of football, and of life, in the words of its champions.
