00:00:12The results, the victories, the championship are beautiful things, but from a human point of view I think
00:00:20may these be the most beautiful things one can receive after having done a job full of sacrifice.
00:00:32Many years ago, 16 and a half years ago to be precise, I made my debut in Milan with Bari against Milan.
00:00:40We arrived, we arrived suffering, suffering the depths of hell and I no longer believed I would return.
00:00:48I didn't believe I'd go back anymore, I didn't believe I'd go back anymore.
00:00:50There's not a single piece of it that couldn't have gone this way.
00:00:55Bambu liked to surprise people, he was pleasantly surprised by seeing the smile in people's eyes.
00:01:01It could be a passerby, it could be a fan, it could be the son, it could be...
00:01:06He enjoyed and found gratification in seeing people smile.
00:01:24When the championships ended well, our little friend from May 19th was celebrated.
00:01:28So that year Azzo won the championship. We were carrying the sea.
00:01:33We opened this garage and the car was not there, but there were two bright red scooters.
00:01:40And it surprised us, it surprised us and we have maintained them throughout these 50 years.
00:01:45They're at the seaside, we turn them on every time we go, we try to keep them running, just in memory of Dad.
00:02:10Dad was born in Pisa on October 7, 1922.
00:02:15Grandpa Ruffo was a railway foreman, so he was often transferred to a city like Rome, Grosseto, Genoa.
00:02:25When I arrived in Bari, Dad asked him to join a team.
00:02:31And grandpa would say to him, where will this football take you?
00:02:34Then, after a few years, you have to change your mind.
00:02:44How many memories?
00:02:46This is where Santa started.
00:02:47Well yes.
00:02:48How many did he have?
00:02:49Well, he arrived at 13, then immediately after he auditioned, he was accepted.
00:02:54The debut, the chronological one, the debut at just sixteen years old.
00:02:59They left for Milan in February 1939.
00:03:02He made him debut at San Siro against Milan.
00:03:06Bari lost that match, but Babbo played a great game.
00:03:11and everyone was starting to put their eyes on him, because at 16 years old making your debut in Serie A is not
00:03:16an easy thing.
00:03:21Until training they went out, they walked towards the center, there was a square where there were lots of pretty girls.
00:03:30And he, who is a mother, is love at first sight.
00:03:38The game is played on a lagoon, and the pitch would be more suitable for marsh hunting than for football.
00:03:42And one on Maestrelli's shot.
00:03:44He became one of the cornerstones, one of the strong points of the Bari team.
00:03:48What role did Santa begin to play?
00:03:51But he was a striker.
00:03:53They called him the tissue paper player, because he was physically slim.
00:03:58The following year he scored his first goal in Serie A.
00:04:00And it will be the goal that will open the 2-1 victory over Fiorentina.
00:04:05Grandpa, who had always been cold towards Dad because of his passion for football,
00:04:12he goes to the cellar, takes the most valuable bottle he had,
00:04:16he toasts his first goal in Serie A.
00:04:18It is June 2, 1940.
00:04:21Eight days later, from the balcony of Palazzo Venezia, Mussolini announced Italy's entry into the war against Great Britain and
00:04:27France.
00:04:29At the end of the 1942 football season, in June, Tommaso, who was part of the Ferrara division,
00:04:37it embarks from Bari and reaches the Balkans, specifically Cetinje and Montenegro.
00:04:43Until September 1943 Maestrelli was involved in military actions and in one of these actions he was wounded by a
00:04:51splinter in the tibia.
00:04:54We skied on the ground without a thought in one direction, the blood came out in torrents,
00:04:59he felt himself lifted up by the arms of a companion who carried him on his shoulders and ran away invoking his saint
00:05:06protector.
00:05:07He will be loaded by a fellow soldier who will transport him to the hospital, he will undergo an operation and not only this operation
00:05:14will be able to save his life,
00:05:15but will also be able to allow them to resume sporting activity later.
00:05:22On September 8, 1943, the armistice was announced.
00:05:28The Ferrara division surrenders to the Germans, even though most of its soldiers, including Tommaso Maestrelli,
00:05:34they refuse to cooperate with the German armed forces.
00:05:37They choose starvation, imprisonment, internment, rather than continue to fight with the Germans.
00:05:46Mom didn't receive any more letters from Dad and her friends, even Mom's parents, said
00:05:51“Lina, let it go, you’re not getting your hopes up.”
00:05:56He and other military burials are used to remove rubble from Allied bombings.
00:06:03And it is during one of these operations that he meets a local girl who hides him in her house, exactly in
00:06:10a cellar.
00:06:13The attack to liberate the city by Yugoslav, Russian and Bulgarian armed forces begins.
00:06:19Just in those days Thomas shows up and asks to be enlisted,
00:06:23asks to be able to fight and participate in the struggle for the liberation of Belgrade.
00:06:29From that moment on, his partisan activity began.
00:06:34He was included in the first Garibaldi battalion.
00:06:38The partisan formations are led by a military commander and a political commissar.
00:06:44To the political commissar, which is the role that Tommaso Maestrelli plays,
00:06:48they are responsible for sharing military choices, but above all for taking care of the political and ethical aspects.
00:06:55His job was to accustom the soldiers to arguing,
00:07:00share every choice democratically and horizontally.
00:07:05This practice, this procedure, will then become a laboratory
00:07:09that Tommaso will experience, will bring into the world of football, into the locker room.
00:07:13Mom always said, Thomas isn't dead, Saint Nicholas is protecting us.
00:07:18He comes home and decides to show up at his mother's house.
00:07:24I think that hug was a beautiful hug between the two of them.
00:07:28Dad understood that Mom was the woman of his life.
00:07:32Not only in Bari, but in all the provincial centers the teams are being reborn and resurrected
00:07:37and sport becomes a way to exorcise war and return to normality.
00:07:44In 1946-47 we returned to playing in a single-round championship.
00:07:49Bari is the surprise of the year.
00:07:52Maestrelli is the emerging talent.
00:07:55He had also begun to develop a passion for politics,
00:07:58for the more social aspect of life, the pleasure of comparison.
00:08:03He ran on the Garibaldi list in 1946 and was elected councillor in the municipal elections.
00:08:09and then the wonderful thing is August 2, 1947 with the wedding flight with mother Lina.
00:08:16Over the course of two years his entire project begins to see a light.
00:08:22because the political commitment, the football commitment, the personal commitment
00:08:26Perhaps it is those two years that begin to outline what his future path will be.
00:08:32In the second match of the championship, Bari beats the great Torino of Mazzola and Loic
00:08:37in front of 30,000 enthusiastic fans.
00:08:40In the second half, Bari was more than ever worthy of the title of Star of the South
00:08:43he engages Bacigalupo so hard that he is forced to surrender.
00:08:47That game, Dad was one of the best.
00:08:49From the then president of Torino Ferruccio Novo at the end of the match
00:08:52he approached the president of Bari in Noscia
00:08:54asking for information about this Tommaso Maestrelli.
00:08:57And Noscia was very hasty, he is not ready for the great Torino.
00:09:01June 1948, a month and a half after the first political elections of the nascent Republic.
00:09:08The Italian Football Federation, after much discussion, decides that Italy will send a representative team
00:09:12at the London Olympics, scheduled for August.
00:09:16Vittorio Pozzo decides to call up versatile players, capable of playing multiple roles.
00:09:22Among them is Tommaso Maestrelli, the only player called up from Bari.
00:09:27He makes him debut in a match where his opponent scores four goals against him.
00:09:31and at the end of the match he approaches Dad and gives him the ball.
00:09:35Dad says, why are you giving me the ball, excuse me?
00:09:37I said, because you didn't see him the whole game.
00:09:39Here, this is the ball, now you are lucky enough to see it.
00:09:42Arriving from England, Tommaso Maestrelli is one of the most sought-after players on the transfer market.
00:09:46Inter want Madej, the centre-forward who won Roma's first Scudetto in 1942.
00:09:51Roma only sells him in exchange for two players, Tontodonati and Maestrelli,
00:09:55who belong to Bari in serious economic crisis.
00:09:58They were two players sought after by all Serie A clubs.
00:10:02They sold in pairs and so it was something that was known throughout Italy by now,
00:10:06that in any case Maestrelli and Tontodonati were a de facto couple.
00:10:09We went to Inter, we're going to play at Inter, in Milan.
00:10:14And instead they had been laughed at as bargaining chips to then go to Rome
00:10:18and Madej moved to Inter.
00:10:25Maestrelli plus Tontodonati equals Madej given in exchange.
00:10:29The first year, with Luigi Brunello as coach, goes quite well.
00:10:33Tommaso also contributes to the cause with four goals,
00:10:35including a fine brace in the 4-0 win over Livorno.
00:10:38Head to head, Crisanti remained standing, Maestrelli collapsed.
00:10:4449 starts with wonderful news for Santa.
00:10:47Mom tells him she's pregnant.
00:10:51The first child, Patrizia, was on the way.
00:10:55And then there's Turin's interest.
00:10:58The squad that damages is dominating the Italian football scene.
00:11:01They would like to take him on tour in Portugal at the end of the year.
00:11:04There is a match against Benfica scheduled.
00:11:06It is a preparatory move for the subsequent purchase.
00:11:09Roma, although initially a little resistant to this request from Turin,
00:11:14accepts and gives Dad the opportunity to do this tour in Portugal.
00:11:17However, a Roma employee is slow in preparing the documents for expatriation.
00:11:20or perhaps he wants to delay or complicate the transfer negotiations.
00:11:28On the way back from that trip, Torino's plane crashed at Superga.
00:11:32And there will be no survivors, the worst disaster in Italian sport.
00:11:38He was devastated by this news which shocked all of Italian football.
00:11:45Then Torino finished the championship with the youth team,
00:11:49with the youth team.
00:11:52And all the teams of the great Turin put the youth team
00:11:56to play a game on equal terms.
00:11:58And Dad understood at that moment that for the second time
00:12:02he escaped that huge risk.
00:12:05Warmth of enthusiasm among the mountains of Abruzzo.
00:12:08Bernardini is focusing on young people.
00:12:10Fulvio Bernardini arrives on the Roma bench
00:12:14with whom Dad had a very strong relationship that will go beyond football.
00:12:19Perhaps Bernardini's ideas were a little too ahead of the times for football.
00:12:23In April 1950, with Roma on the brink of relegation to Serie B,
00:12:26the board of directors decides to dismiss Bernardini.
00:12:29Stormy meeting.
00:12:31Andreoli and Maestrelli, captain and vice captain, also participate.
00:12:34On behalf of the entire team, they ask that the technical leadership not be changed.
00:12:38Maestrelli in particular staunchly defends his coach.
00:12:41The discussion becomes heated and ends with a threat from the then councilor
00:12:45and future president priests who tells him you'll pay for this.
00:12:49Maestrelli, who became captain after Andreoli's farewell,
00:12:52he will be sold as a punishment after the relegation in '51.
00:12:57Both he and the idiots are transferred to Lucca.
00:13:07Dommaso Maestrelli arrived in Lucca in the summer of 1951.
00:13:12Lucca needs players with a certain amount of experience in Serie A
00:13:15because the goal is to maintain the category.
00:13:19The season is negative and Lucca, which with one month to go before the end of the season
00:13:24it seemed safe, throw everything away
00:13:28and is forced to go to the play-offs against Trestina.
00:13:33The first play-off is played on a hot June afternoon
00:13:37at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.
00:13:40The stadium is packed, there are many neutral fans
00:13:43who all cheer for Trestina
00:13:46because it is a particular political moment.
00:13:48There is a dispute with Yugoslavia over the possession of the Julian territories.
00:13:52It was Maestrelli who scored the 3-3 goal in the 111th minute, Speranza's goal.
00:13:58At the time, there were no penalties, the play-off had to be replayed.
00:14:02A duel to the death. The losers will have to leave Serie A.
00:14:06Trestina won 1-0 and the Lucca team was sadly relegated to Serie B.
00:14:13The following year, 52-53, it was a dark night, with Lucca sinking even to Serie C.
00:14:20However, it marks Tommaso Maestrelli's first coaching experience.
00:14:23who, together with two other teammates, leads the team for three weeks.
00:14:27Maestrelli is a little disappointed, he no longer has his great friend Tonto Donati by his side
00:14:32who has been sold, his wife is pregnant, he often goes to Bari
00:14:36and Maestrelli would like to return to Bari.
00:14:38Maestrelli goes to the president Umberto Paradossi, who understands the situation
00:14:42and to thank Maestrelli for his seriousness, his commitment, his self-denial
00:14:48he gives him the card, so Maestrelli is free.
00:14:58In the summer of '53 Tommaso returned to Bari, where it all began.
00:15:03He finds the team even in the fourth division, with serious financial problems.
00:15:07Maestrelli is no longer a boy, having crossed the threshold of thirty years,
00:15:11but he willingly rolls up his sleeves, lends a hand and it is an important hand.
00:15:16An incredible climb because that year they won the Serie D champion,
00:15:20then the following year they win the Serie C championship and bring Bari back to Serie B.
00:15:23His last match was Bari-Alessandri 0-0 on May 19, 1957.
00:15:30His second daughter is born and a new chapter in Tommaso Maestrelli's career begins.
00:15:37Once his boots are off, Babbo begins to enjoy the pleasure of being on the bench, even if only as an assistant coach.
00:15:44He took his first steps as a coach with Federico Allasio and wanted him as his assistant coach.
00:15:51A fairytale season that brought Bari back to Serie A.
00:15:56We arrive in 1963. Maurizio is born on May 19th. He is born at home.
00:16:03Mom is about to go to the stadium and the physiotherapist says
00:16:06Thomas, where are you going? There's another son here.
00:16:10And he says to him, what are you talking about, another child? Are you kidding?
00:16:12And I was born a few minutes later.
00:16:18The door to the first team finally opens
00:16:21for Tommaso Maestrelli who makes his debut on the bench in Messina at just 41 years old.
00:16:28A very well played match.
00:16:30Calcio ciclismo illustrato awards him as best coach of the week.
00:16:36A draw with Catania arrives.
00:16:38He loses to Lazio.
00:16:40There are frictions with the local press.
00:16:43The last defeat in Genoa was fatal.
00:16:46November 24, 1963.
00:16:49Tommaso Maestrelli is fired.
00:16:52And it's the end of a great love story with the red and white colors.
00:16:56Dad had just been fired.
00:16:58Look at mom and say
00:17:00Lina, but how do we manage with four children without money?
00:17:04What are we going to feed these four boys?
00:17:06And Lina says Tommaso don't worry.
00:17:09It will all be fine.
00:17:17In the Queen's centuries-old history, there is a before Maestrelli and an after Maestrelli.
00:17:24It was the summer of '64.
00:17:27The news comes out in the newspaper.
00:17:29The club is looking for a new manager.
00:17:31Santa reads in the newspaper that the queen is looking for a coach.
00:17:34And he writes a letter to President Granillo.
00:17:36He says, I'm Tommaso Maestrelli, I want to be a coach and I'd come to Reggio Calabria for free.
00:17:41Granillo likes it a lot, he likes the man and says he signs with the queen but in blank.
00:17:49At first he wins the championship, he wins by a landslide.
00:17:53For the club's 50th anniversary, the Queen achieved its first historic promotion to Serie B.
00:18:16In November the sporting director of Brescia comes and tells me, look, you have to go to the queen.
00:18:22I said why? Well, because Maestrelli wants you and so on.
00:18:27And nothing, I went to Reggio Calabria, I didn't even know where it was.
00:18:31He tells me you are from the factory but I remained tied to the factory until November.
00:18:36Because I said if football goes badly for me I'll go back to the factory.
00:18:39Beppe Tomasini arrives in the first year of Serie B. We are in the 65-66 season.
00:18:45When I arrived I found a wonderful environment.
00:18:48The environment in which to play football, the environment that was a family.
00:18:53He made me feel comfortable with all of them.
00:18:57I was 18. He was also a father to me.
00:19:02A nice thing that Santa did is this happened for the first time after a year in Reggio Calabria
00:19:08and when he took us to the field and demanded that we put on our football boots.
00:19:14Our mascots were just as small as they were.
00:19:18If they were missing on some Sunday I would ask the coach why didn't he bring them?
00:19:26In the 65-66 season the first in Serie B came close to making the double leap.
00:19:31They miss Serie A by one point.
00:19:33On the last day of the championship, the Queen will try to gain promotion on the Ecco pitch.
00:19:38The Queen goes to play at the Ecco and is followed by 5,000 fans.
00:19:43Imagine moving 5,000 fans from a provincial city at that time and you can't pull it off.
00:19:50But perhaps he got the mental approach to that match wrong and Inaccia will go to Mantua with a point.
00:20:00There are coaches who always defend themselves, there are coaches who play football.
00:20:06Maestrelli was a football player.
00:20:11He was very good at motivating players and convincing them that they could play multiple roles.
00:20:20He knew how to strike a chord with each of us and make us express our best for him.
00:20:26That is, a defender could become a dangerous attacker in 30 seconds.
00:20:30A director, instead of starting from the back, could exchange with the center forward, go into the corridor and score.
00:20:37That is, that team had the gift of harmony.
00:20:45He decided to extend the contract for a few years as a sign of gratitude.
00:20:51towards a city that had allowed him to bet on himself.
00:20:55He refused some important offers and then after four years, in agreement with Granillo and Dolphin,
00:21:02they concluded that Maestrelli's cycle could be considered finished.
00:21:09Maestrelli left Reggio Calabria in 1968 in an almost celebratory atmosphere, one of great gratitude.
00:21:15Still all those in Reggio Calabria who have white hair.
00:21:18If you mention Maestrelli's name to them, they almost bow down and roll over.
00:21:39Tommaso Maestrelli was welcomed in Foggia at the time with great interest and curiosity.
00:21:49He immediately began to make his team play well.
00:21:53The football that Maestrelli's Foggia played was a football that was, in quotation marks, unprecedented,
00:21:59a very technical, very spectacular football, because it had players of very good technical quality.
00:22:08For example Giorgio Maioli was number 10, the libero of the time with number 4 Gianni Pirazzini,
00:22:15which then becomes a sort of flag of Foggia and remains there practically for life.
00:22:20How many games did you play in Foggia?
00:22:23427.
00:22:26Before the match, Dad wanted us to come here like Maurizio and touch the net.
00:22:31Wrap the passion.
00:22:32We always stay in Bari with Mamba, with Parizza, with Tiziana,
00:22:35but on Saturdays and Sundays we joined him at the games every Sunday.
00:22:39And above all, they become a psychological recharge for the isolation he experienced during the week.
00:22:46Foggia once played in Verona, the goalkeeper is a ball of pizza, and the name was funny, right?
00:22:52And we slaughtered it, pizza to the ball, ball to the pizza, pizza to the ball.
00:22:55At a certain point he turns to tell us enough and concedes a goal.
00:22:59He made us run away and go back into the locker rooms.
00:23:01Tommaso's first year at Foggia featured two major events.
00:23:06Foggia played some exceptional matches in that Coppa Italia after having won against Napoli.
00:23:13He arrives at the last match with Roma at home
00:23:16where the possibility of even winning the Italian Cup is at stake.
00:23:20Then Roma, who were playing in Serie A, naturally won their match
00:23:24and so it is also the Italian Cup.
00:23:27But he still has, let's say, this little medal on his chest.
00:23:31And then the famous derby with Bari at home, won 4-0.
00:23:36At the end of the match Maestrelli takes the whole family into his car
00:23:42which however had a small defect.
00:23:45It had Bari license plates because he lived in Bari.
00:23:48Well, the car with Bari license plates is greeted with whistles and jeers from the fans.
00:23:52But they don't know that he, who stops at a traffic light, gets out and makes himself seen.
00:23:56Look, it's me.
00:23:59We have reached the fourteenth edition of the Golden Seedler,
00:24:02award for the best football coaches of the past season.
00:24:06The overall award goes to Tommaso Maestrelli, coach of Foggia.
00:24:09Maestrelli led the Apulian team to the top of the standings this year
00:24:13and is now knocking on the doors of Serie A.
00:24:16Among things, the best memories were obviously the knowledge, I call him my teacher.
00:24:24Albertino Bigon was signed, who came from Naples and Spal, two very important performances
00:24:31even though they were very young and then it was also decided to buy Re Cecconi
00:24:38who even came from Serie C from Propatria.
00:24:43Cecco wasn't very technical when he arrived here.
00:24:47He helped everyone because he never stopped.
00:24:50That was a scooter, how did it start?
00:24:53He, I told you, he is Garzelli alone.
00:24:55He read the center of the field.
00:24:56Because Maioli couldn't have kept up with them.
00:25:00That Foggia really started off with an incredible sprint.
00:25:04I will never forget a headline in the Corriere dello Sport from that time.
00:25:10Don't score a goal to show off or he'll get angry and win.
00:25:13And to say that that departure was truly very important.
00:25:18Then there were perhaps some moments of sluggishness, as is inevitable.
00:25:23But the ending...
00:25:27The ending was overwhelming.
00:25:37Let's say he was already ahead of his time 54 years ago.
00:25:44He always put a breakthrough striker in front of me.
00:25:50Which I couldn't do.
00:25:52I was walking around.
00:25:53And he put me in front of the box as a center.
00:25:58It was a team set up for beautiful play.
00:26:01As they say nowadays,
00:26:04enough backtracking, let's do something forward.
00:26:07And I don't remember the backward steps at the time.
00:26:11We played to score goals.
00:26:14Five games and five draws.
00:26:16When will victory come, Maestrelli?
00:26:18But I hope to get to the end this way.
00:26:22The start of the 70-71 Serie A championship is very promising.
00:26:27After the first six, seven, eight matchdays, Foggia occupies practically half of the Serie A standings.
00:26:37But then on the day of return I don't know what happens.
00:26:40Refereeing, lack of concentration, performances up to par and relegation on the final day.
00:26:47The night of the last match he didn't want to have dinner with the team.
00:26:53It was a very bitter dinner.
00:26:55We were at the restaurant, all at the table.
00:26:58We thought that Santa would also sit at the head of the table, as was his custom.
00:27:02And instead he went away from us, to a table by himself, with a glass of milk.
00:27:09At that point we raised our ebigom, who according to our companions were his godchildren.
00:27:18And he replied, I don't feel like it because this relegation is all my fault.
00:27:27Usually in a small provincial town, when there is a relegation there are negative consequences,
00:27:36that is, excessive criticism.
00:27:38However, towards Tommaso Maestrelli there was absolutely no such climate.
00:27:43It was he who probably understood at that point that his cycle in Foggia was over.
00:27:58And at that time there were various requests.
00:28:02Among these requests, the two teams that insisted first and foremost were Lazio from Rome.
00:28:08Anzalone, president of Rome at the time, courted him ruthlessly and says
00:28:13I can't accept returning to Serie A when my level at the moment is Serie B.
00:28:19If I want to become a Serie A coach, I have to start from the bottom.
00:28:23So I have to go to Serie B, win the championship, go to Serie A
00:28:25and then at that point I will be able to say that I am a coach who deserves this category.
00:28:38The Lazio of the 70s was a different Lazio from the one of the late 60s.
00:28:44A Lazio that was in limbo, rising and falling.
00:28:46When Maestrelli arrived, he changed the tune.
00:28:49We didn't like Tommaso Maestrelli, the new coach.
00:28:53I was nostalgic for the Lazio of the previous year, Juan Carlos Lorenzo.
00:28:59We were fond of each other even though things weren't going too badly.
00:29:04Chenaglia when he learned of the change of coach, when he learned of Maestrelli's imminent arrival
00:29:09he asked Lazio to be transferred.
00:29:11And it was Maestrelli who convinced him to stay.
00:29:16I was called in thirsty and met the manager who had recently arrived.
00:29:22Since I knew that at Lazio there were players older than me
00:29:26who had to play by force.
00:29:28And then I asked him, listen to me if I have a chance to play.
00:29:34And he told me if you deserve it, play, if you don't deserve it, watch.
00:29:38The other coaches not only didn't give you anything at all,
00:29:42they addressed you formally and made you feel like their subject.
00:29:46Thomas came towards me, gave me his hand and said to me
00:29:50Hi Marti, we're going to do great things.
00:29:54And let's say that the start wasn't the best.
00:29:57Everyone was wondering, but who is Maestrelli?
00:30:00But why do we have to hire trial coaches with Foggia?
00:30:03There was always a group of fans at the training ground,
00:30:07they came and shouted against Tommaso, against us, they whistled, they could be seen.
00:30:13It was a group that initially consisted of 10-15 people and then grew to more than 50-100 people.
00:30:19Let's go train at Flaminio and not at Tor di Quinto so as not to attract too many fans.
00:30:25The covered grandstand, half of it, was completely full of fans.
00:30:28And at the entrance to the Flaminio, that day, that Wednesday, we were given some flyers,
00:30:33with sigh La Coscienza della Lazio, who called for the return of Juan Carlos Lorenzo in place of Maestrelli.
00:30:39We went to the central stand and Tommaso's bench was underneath,
00:30:44and I went up to the railing and threw these flyers.
00:30:48He picked them up, turned around and looked at me and said, You're a brave boy, why don't we talk?
00:30:54I turned all red, scared too, he stopped to talk to us fans.
00:30:59And suddenly, as if by magic, they fell silent, absolute silence.
00:31:06He looked at them for ten endless seconds without speaking and said,
00:31:11With me or without me this team will win.
00:31:15You are Lazio, if you want I'll leave, but don't bother the boys.
00:31:23There was an incredible round of applause.
00:31:25We looked at each other, like, no, what did he say to him?
00:31:29And no one spoke badly of us anymore.
00:31:31We began to understand what character this man had.
00:31:36He won over the fans, but he also won over the players,
00:31:39because the players were convinced that that protest
00:31:42Dad would pack his bags and leave.
00:31:46All coaches when they go to a team
00:31:48the first thing they ask to reinforce it.
00:31:51At that moment Lenzini had asked Father for sacrifices.
00:31:54The first huge sacrifice was that of Chinaglia,
00:31:56which was requested by everyone.
00:31:58Dad said sell everyone except Chinaglia.
00:32:00Giorgio will give us a lot of satisfaction.
00:32:03He is a player who has already expressed a lot up to now,
00:32:06but it still has considerable resources
00:32:08which he has not yet been able to exploit.
00:32:10At times he's like a big child,
00:32:12a simple, modest boy.
00:32:14There are certain moments that he is a little capricious,
00:32:16like a thoroughbred horse.
00:32:19From initial refusal,
00:32:21slowly Chinaglia manages to understand
00:32:24not only what Maestrelli wants from him,
00:32:26and above all he manages to understand that Maestrelli has faith in him.
00:32:31It is narrated by chatting and conversing with him
00:32:33and playing with the pine cones to trace what would have been on the lawn of Villa Borghese,
00:32:38his tactical project for a Lazio with great movement.
00:32:46At the time, only two teams came to Serie A.
00:32:49The last match was played in Bari.
00:32:50Everyone said it was an easy game,
00:32:52everyone loves you,
00:32:53you go there and walk.
00:32:55But Dad was always a little reluctant to believe in these things.
00:32:58So it was, because the match was very difficult.
00:33:01In the end it finished 0-0 and Babbo managed to bring home this Serie A result.
00:33:07and for joy after the match they got on the bus
00:33:13and Santa asked the driver to move.
00:33:16He then took the reins of Pullman and led them to Rome with promotion to Serie A.
00:33:24Giorgio then experienced the top scorers ranking,
00:33:26he was called up to the national team,
00:33:27the first Italian Serie B player to be called up to the national team.
00:33:32Dad was surprised that George asked the courtesy of accompanying him.
00:33:35Dad said, but what need is there for me to accompany you?
00:33:37No, you have to come, you have to look at me,
00:33:40I know you're in the stands, I know I perform better.
00:33:44They began to open up on a human level.
00:33:47Giorgio understood at that moment that he could open up
00:33:50and Dad saw Giorgio as his eldest son.
00:33:53It was a Lazio that was transforming.
00:33:56But the transformation happened in that summer transfer window.
00:34:00What does Enzini ask my father?
00:34:02Mister, we must save ourselves with peace of mind,
00:34:06we don't have to get to the last day.
00:34:08And Santa rightly says, we will team up to try to save ourselves.
00:34:12And he lost the game.
00:34:14All players purchased from Serie B.
00:34:17Pulici from Novara, had conceded five goals.
00:34:19Pulici had conceded five goals here at Olympia.
00:34:21He wants Recepconi who was his protégé in Foggia
00:34:23and that he is a fantastic player in terms of running and lungs.
00:34:26He went to Enzini and said, I want two players from Foggia.
00:34:29Recepconi and Bicon.
00:34:31And Enzini said, at most, at most I'll take one.
00:34:34And he took Cecco.
00:34:35That blond was everywhere.
00:34:38But he plays on the right.
00:34:40There was another Martini there who ran very fast.
00:34:44And here Maestelli's genius comes into play.
00:34:46There is a part, if we want by chance, that talent always helps.
00:34:51That is, the fact that the stopper gets injured in the Italian Cup.
00:34:54The stopper is no longer there.
00:34:55And then he puts Oddi who was left back.
00:34:58There weren't, like there are now, these tactical modules that can't be changed.
00:35:03When he saw that someone was physically fit, he made him play in his role.
00:35:07Or he found him another role because Petrelli arrived and played on the right.
00:35:12He didn't even know what the right was.
00:35:14There's this hole.
00:35:15And at this point how do you solve the whole problem?
00:35:18Simple.
00:35:19Martini went to trample on Recepconi's area.
00:35:22He says, listen, play on the left.
00:35:23But mister, I'm right-footed, play on the left.
00:35:26So, for a boy who plays football, being a full-back or stopper was like being a boot.
00:35:33I showed myself the report cards that the newspapers gave at the time: 7, 8, 7, 8, 7.
00:35:39I still need you there for a bit.
00:35:41I told him, Tommaso, we agreed that...
00:35:45No, don't worry.
00:35:46Whenever you want, whenever you tell me, I'll give you back the number 4 shirt.
00:35:52I never took it again and that was my luck.
00:35:56At this point what happens with Martini who is constantly running?
00:36:00He needs someone to cover for him.
00:36:02In his place, Nanni plays with the number 6.
00:36:04But Nanni is a former striker.
00:36:06He's here, he's always played as a half-forward, he has an incredible shot.
00:36:09Yet he has to play as a midfielder.
00:36:11This player becomes fundamental.
00:36:13Manservisi is number 11, but he is Lazio's jack-of-all-trades.
00:36:16He goes to cover the spaces, he goes to cover when Martini comes up.
00:36:20And it is the tactical element of this team.
00:36:23There are two attackers.
00:36:24Carla Schnelli on the right and obviously Giorgio Chinaia is involved forward.
00:36:27And then there's the director Frustalupi who plays in front of the defense.
00:36:31My father heard that they were about to give away Whip-Wolf.
00:36:34He grabbed Lenzini by the jacket and told him
00:36:37Mr. President, let's take Whip-Wolf.
00:36:40Listen, Frustalupi, Frustalupi, we talked, but he's giving it to Inter.
00:36:43And he convinces Lenzini to take Frustalupi.
00:36:45And who's going to take this when Martini has to come back from here?
00:36:49Go get Rececconi's.
00:36:51Rececconi goes to cut together with Frustalupi and they cover the area.
00:36:55This role reversal is a very Dutch thing,
00:36:59but made before Holland.
00:37:01The school was taking shape with these connections.
00:37:04He was developing but at the beginning of the season he was negative.
00:37:07We had a disastrous Italian Cup.
00:37:09They were challenging us everywhere.
00:37:11The girl lost at home against Taranto and was eliminated.
00:37:13Open up to the sky.
00:37:14And they had it very much filled.
00:37:17At the time Enrico Bendoni who was a young journalist working at the Messaggero
00:37:23he knew other journalists and they talked to each other to come out with a headline in the newspapers
00:37:29which saw Santa practically sent away.
00:37:33And Bendoni told the other journalists
00:37:34Let's wait for his championship and see what happens.
00:37:38The same thing Lenzini thought.
00:37:39Professionally, I appreciated Maestrelli.
00:37:43He made no proclamations.
00:37:44He wasn't one to question the players in any way.
00:37:49He didn't put anyone against the wall.
00:37:52He believed in work.
00:37:53He was serious.
00:37:55And he even had a plan in his head for me.
00:37:57He knew where he wanted to go and he knew where he could go.
00:38:02In short, the first match draws 0-0 against Inter, a fantastic match.
00:38:05that the Inter of great champions deserved to win.
00:38:08Buoninsegna, Mazzola, Facchetti.
00:38:11Then he went to play in Florence and managed to win 1-0.
00:38:15Then the third match, he plays at home against Juventus, he plays a great game
00:38:18and so at that point I had wanted the three days
00:38:21Nobody wanted to send Santa away anymore.
00:38:24It happened that the team was renewed for the six elevenths
00:38:27and it was clear that the yearning amalgamates the old and the new
00:38:29and it took time.
00:38:31And in fact, as the team progresses, I see it continuously progressing.
00:38:39First in the standings with a team from Venice in Serie B
00:38:42no one had ever accomplished such a feat.
00:38:47He wasn't content just to play and win games.
00:38:50He wanted to win but to convince, he wanted to get people passionate,
00:38:53he wanted people to have fun.
00:38:54He studied Hungarian football, Dutch football, English football.
00:38:58He read, he read, he documented himself.
00:39:01Gianni Berera spoke of running heresy,
00:39:05He talked about players running around the pitch without any logic.
00:39:10Not fully understanding that that great movement was a revolution.
00:39:14The fullbacks played in reverse, the right-footer plays on the left and the left-footer on the right.
00:39:19where everyone was running except two players who remained stationary.
00:39:22We played with two defenders, Pino and I.
00:39:27Petrelli was a playmaker, Martini was a midfielder.
00:39:29This total football passes through all of Italy
00:39:32because it was inhabited by a football with a different pente.
00:39:34In Italy, football was played in black and white.
00:39:37Maestrelli's Lazio brought color, brought football to color.
00:40:03In Italy in Italy you have
00:40:18I don't know what to say anymore, I don't know.
00:40:26This brilliance of the team clashed with the very hostile internal environment of the team.
00:40:35The Milanese, the Antiitalia players, were in the locker room. Martini was with Rececconi, Frustalupi, they were all in another locker room.
00:40:46where there was Mario Facco, there was me, there was Giorgio.
00:40:50Giorgio had a very strong personality. We started to develop a pattern where we looked at each other askance.
00:40:58We had to go to the masseur from our locker room, we had to go there. And when you went in there, they bothered you.
00:41:05the boxes, one would tell you one thing, the other would tell you another. And they couldn't come to the locker room.
00:41:09our.
00:41:10They would always give themselves away, and that's what happened during the Thursday games. Dad would put Giorgio on one side and Martini on the other.
00:41:18They faced each other and there they showed the worst of themselves.
00:41:22The day we have a training session and we go to a training session and we play a little match and there was a
00:41:27Pino's entrance with Whipwolf.
00:41:30They collided, Pino entered and they both fell to the ground. And the other, all the
00:41:37others, 12, 13 of us, all of us there, who was taking the matches one, who was taking the matches
00:41:42of the other.
00:41:43In short, a bit of a racket, as they say in Rome. So he takes the ball, puts it on the ground,
00:41:50he whistled.
00:41:51Punishment for the Greens. Punishment for the Greens. He says, but this will get us killed.
00:41:57That they also beat each other on the pitch in the weekly matches and in some cases he had to stop,
00:42:04because the fight could have degenerated to the point of creating, causing incidents that would have then damaged Sunday's match.
00:42:11Then you think about it later, he says, but why did he let us play again? Because if we went to the locker room, things would have been worse.
00:42:18So he had everything that was inside the camp at that time disposed of.
00:42:23And then we went to the locker room, he came to the locker room, he said, you are a bunch of idiots.
00:42:28I can't work with idiots, with people like you.
00:42:33He said it like a father who was in trouble.
00:42:35It's a great group, it's a great group of crazy people.
00:42:38And for us young people, when we were called, we were 16 years old, 17 years old, to go and play these matches,
00:42:45the first thing was not to make the tunnels.
00:42:47Because if you were to unfortunately happen to be able to make a tunnel or something,
00:42:52you found yourself lifted up and headed straight out of the field.
00:42:57Until Sunday, at half past two, when the match started, they hated each other.
00:43:02At half past two the referee blew his whistle and suddenly this axis, this hatred, passed.
00:43:15On Sundays, we were touched by one of us, whoever was, was.
00:43:19And the other ten were extolling them.
00:43:23On Sundays we were one body, we weren't every man for himself.
00:43:27And that was our strength, because we were also a bit silly during the week,
00:43:34but on Sunday we could also play the Brazilian national team.
00:43:37It was war, we weren't afraid of anyone.
00:43:49To be clear, he gave us this strength.
00:43:54If it was fire, he pushed it.
00:44:01Maestelli made us become a team, managing our flaws.
00:44:10I believe that, in general, a good mentor, a good teacher, is one who lets things happen,
00:44:17that squeezes out of each person the best they are capable of doing.
00:44:22The true master teaches nothing.
00:44:25Let his disciple, his pupil, his student, his footballer,
00:44:29in the case of a coach, he best expresses what he is capable of.
00:44:42The final day of the 1973 championship was a true celebration of radio.
00:44:49The championship was played on three pitches.
00:44:51Let's start, as usual, with the only result from the first half via Verona.
00:44:55Verona 3, Milan 1, Rome to you.
00:44:58Roma 1, Juventus 0, over to you Napoli.
00:45:01To Naples, Naples 0, Lazio 0, to you Bergamo.
00:45:05So Lazio, at that moment, at the end of the first half, were virtually champions of Italy.
00:45:09Roma, ahead of Juventus, could have given Lazio more hope.
00:45:15In the second half, the game was turned around.
00:45:19Roma lost the match against Juventus with 10 minutes to go and their dream vanished.
00:45:25Cucurettu scored for Juventus.
00:45:27Juventus is currently the virtual champion of Italy.
00:45:31Napoli were ready to take the lead thanks to a goal from Damiani.
00:45:36He arrived very late from Naples, he has a very, very shaken face.
00:45:39He walked us to bed and we say,
00:45:42How is it possible for such an important match, but 0 in the last minute?
00:45:47And he said, that's how it went.
00:45:49But guys, don't worry, we'll get the championship back next year.
00:45:56The 73-74 season was a ride.
00:46:00D'Amico took over from Manservisi.
00:46:03Talent also means a bit of arrogance in private life.
00:46:08Vincenzino D'Amico shows up with a super sports car,
00:46:12fruit of first earnings.
00:46:13And it's a choice that Maestrelli doesn't like.
00:46:16The young man must first grow up,
00:46:18He must understand the value of what he earns by playing football.
00:46:23For this reason he confiscates his car keys,
00:46:25but it does more, it freezes his salary for a few months,
00:46:28so that Vincenzo understands that you don't play football to get rich,
00:46:31but you play football to become a footballer.
00:46:34Brilliant start to the championship for Lazio,
00:46:37which, although not yet appearing to be at its peak performance,
00:46:40has authoritatively imposed itself on the Nerossi Vicenza field.
00:46:43I want to thank the whole team,
00:46:46because today, since it's my birthday,
00:46:47I had asked them for at least a draw.
00:46:50And they gave me the victory,
00:46:51and this increases the joy of this day even more.
00:46:55I don't believe that in the history of football
00:46:57a team like Lazio in '74 is possible,
00:47:02be traceable by those features,
00:47:04not only technical, but emotional and human,
00:47:08who have thwarted a path that I believe is unique,
00:47:11truly unique in the history of football.
00:47:14There was a pay phone behind Dad's stripper,
00:47:17Dad took this phone,
00:47:19he called his mother and said
00:47:20«Lina, I'll be a little later, but there are eight of us,
00:47:23there are nine of us, there are ten of us,
00:47:25but he told him half an hour before."
00:47:27Then when there was some problem like that,
00:47:30He called us, he didn't just invite us.
00:47:33What was special about this lunch?
00:47:35where everyone wants to come,
00:47:37it was the fact that mom was the great cook.
00:47:40One day, out of curiosity,
00:47:41he had experimented with rice and peas.
00:47:44Before a difficult match,
00:47:46he won that match brilliantly,
00:47:49Giorgio came home on Friday and said
00:47:51"Mister, Lina has to make rice and peas."
00:47:53«Rice and peas, you can make orecchiette,
00:47:56can make fairy rice and mussels."
00:47:58"No, you have to make rice and peas."
00:48:00And so rice and peas won that game,
00:48:02he won the match after.
00:48:04Maurizio and I when we saw rice and peas,
00:48:05"No, we ate something else."
00:48:07«No, you have to eat everything,
00:48:08because we all have to eat,
00:48:09but one person avoided this commitment."
00:48:30Lazio has won the platonic title of winter champion
00:48:33winning big over Bologna.
00:48:35Wolf whip throwing,
00:48:37chinaglia heel
00:48:37and a winning conclusion by D'Amico
00:48:39who scored his first goal in Serie A.
00:48:44"Frankly, do you believe Lazio can win the Scudetto?"
00:48:47«The championship is still long, very long,
00:48:50But I don't want to get beaten up by fans.
00:48:54Well, at some point I have to understand
00:48:56that I too have to think
00:48:58that Lazio can really aim to win the Scudetto."
00:49:07«If you don't understand the context,
00:49:09a difficult and problematic city,
00:49:11what Rome was like in those years,
00:49:13We don't even understand Lazio and its internal divisions."
00:49:17«Perhaps Chinaglia was the first to bring weapons into the locker room.
00:49:20Even one day Morigi,
00:49:22who was the second goalkeeper,
00:49:23a gun like this appeared,
00:49:25saying it was the biggest gun
00:49:26that no one on the team had.
00:49:28My father was amazed
00:49:29that Morigi could do such a thing.
00:49:31Petrelli and Wilson in the bedroom,
00:49:33turn off the light, turn off the light,
00:49:35he shoots and turns off the light with the gun.
00:49:39My father was called to the hotel manager
00:49:41that week
00:49:42to pack three or four light bulbs
00:49:44because they did it habitually.
00:49:46We even went to camp with our guns on Sundays.
00:49:49We undressed, we carried them to the lodging
00:49:50and then we put the gun down,
00:49:51the rifle on the cabinet.
00:49:54Dad was afraid of this situation,
00:49:55but he understood that everyone has their own way
00:49:58to vent one's exuberance
00:50:00because they were so exuberant.
00:50:04The team has been identified
00:50:06who won the championship like this team
00:50:07where they shot,
00:50:08there were rifles,
00:50:10they shot the footballers in the feet
00:50:12for fun.
00:50:14It's true, it was that time
00:50:17particularly violent,
00:50:18but also very creative
00:50:20and very free.
00:50:22The freest inside
00:50:24he was definitely our leader,
00:50:26the Maestretti.
00:50:28Olympic Stadium full beyond capacity
00:50:30for the big match of the year.
00:50:33The real opponent was Juventus.
00:50:37We understood that beating Juventus
00:50:40it would have meant taking a step forward
00:50:43very important for winning the championship.
00:50:49in the fifth minute of the second half
00:50:51Lazio turned the situation around
00:50:532-1 over Roma
00:50:55with Ghinaglia.
00:50:56Perhaps one of the most beautiful terms
00:50:58it was absolutely that
00:50:59just like the scudetto
00:51:00where Giorgio projects himself
00:51:02under the south curve
00:51:03with the finger
00:51:05and threatening the curve.
00:51:07And he did just that.
00:51:09Learn from it,
00:51:09because so many fans
00:51:10they only had it in for him.
00:51:13Giorgio finishes the game
00:51:15and peacefully with Petrelli
00:51:17goes under his
00:51:17and sees 300 Roma fans.
00:51:20Let's go to the telephone booth
00:51:21why are we calling the mister?
00:51:22and let's hear the mister
00:51:23what do you recommend?
00:51:25It was midnight.
00:51:27Then he writes the phone home
00:51:28we all take pictures
00:51:29what happened,
00:51:30what happened.
00:51:31It was George.
00:51:32George, sir,
00:51:33I want to go home
00:51:34I just want to go to sleep.
00:51:35Go to sleep.
00:51:36But there are 300 people.
00:51:38He comes to my house.
00:51:40sleep at home tonight.
00:51:42And he came home.
00:51:44He brought his weapons,
00:51:45guns,
00:51:46you cook.
00:51:47And Dad said
00:51:47guns and forges
00:51:49but leave them away
00:51:50because there are boys
00:51:51you never know
00:51:52what can happen.
00:51:52Seas for fun
00:51:53they take them.
00:51:54And in the evening he put on
00:51:55on the terrace with the rifle
00:51:57and Dad came out
00:51:59one day and said
00:51:59Giorgio, what are you doing with the rifle?
00:52:01I defend your family
00:52:03because sooner or later they arrive.
00:52:05And then Dad understood
00:52:06which was a moment of pure madness.
00:52:08The next day
00:52:08he hid the rifle from them
00:52:09and he for three days
00:52:11he didn't speak to him
00:52:12because he couldn't find the rifle
00:52:13of Winchester
00:52:13with which he was supposed to save his family.
00:52:16The games have decreased,
00:52:18there are five left.
00:52:20But the thing that
00:52:20it really excited me
00:52:22was
00:52:23the spirit
00:52:25with whom they played
00:52:26despite the 2-1
00:52:28of the first half.
00:52:29Dad sees
00:52:30both Chinaglia
00:52:31what a Martini
00:52:31he runs towards the changing rooms
00:52:33in front of everyone.
00:52:35He understood that there was something
00:52:36that wasn't working.
00:52:37They wanted
00:52:37see each other inside the changing rooms
00:52:39and give them a good reason.
00:52:40Only Maestelli was there
00:52:41who had anticipated us
00:52:42which was on the door.
00:52:44And Dad told him
00:52:45we can't lose this match.
00:52:49He says
00:52:49come back everyone
00:52:50inside the field.
00:52:50When they entered
00:52:51on the field
00:52:52and they saw us like this
00:52:52for me
00:52:53it was better
00:52:54that were inside
00:52:55the strippers.
00:52:56And it's a 2-2
00:52:573-2
00:52:584-2
00:52:59Fustalupi's cross-country skier
00:53:00and flying diversion
00:53:01by Nanni
00:53:02in ironing.
00:53:03This time for Giacomi
00:53:04there's nothing to do
00:53:05while Nanni
00:53:06is celebrated
00:53:07from the companions
00:53:07for the indisputable
00:53:08feat.
00:53:09It's the goal
00:53:10which could have
00:53:11the championship has been decided.
00:53:13You couldn't
00:53:14don't do that
00:53:15what he was saying.
00:53:16You couldn't.
00:53:17Impossible.
00:53:18Because it was like
00:53:19if you did something wrong
00:53:19to your father.
00:53:22He knew how to get in
00:53:23in the head
00:53:24of many footballers.
00:53:26He treated every footballer
00:53:27in a different way.
00:53:31Step by step
00:53:32we're arriving
00:53:33in Lazio Foggia.
00:53:35It was the penultimate match.
00:53:37If we
00:53:37we had won it
00:53:38the scudetto
00:53:39it would have been ours.
00:53:40That week
00:53:42nobody used guns,
00:53:44nobody uses the card,
00:53:45nobody drank,
00:53:46nobody went
00:53:46to the clubs at night.
00:53:47One afternoon
00:53:48after training
00:53:49I had been walking around
00:53:49to take a walk
00:53:50and they saw the city
00:53:52that from every balcony
00:53:53a flag came out.
00:53:55He returned home
00:53:56and he said
00:53:57Lina,
00:53:58Twins,
00:53:59Patricia,
00:53:59Giziana
00:53:59but you know I've never seen
00:54:01a city
00:54:02so white and blue.
00:54:03But then the big day arrives
00:54:05May 12, 1974.
00:54:07I remember the race
00:54:07unbridled
00:54:08of all those
00:54:09that they were looking for
00:54:10to surpass each other
00:54:12to be the first to enter
00:54:13at the stadium.
00:54:13There was the president
00:54:14of the Republic Leone,
00:54:15the secretary of the Communist Party
00:54:16Enrico Berlinguer
00:54:17that even though it wasn't
00:54:19Lazio fan
00:54:20he fed his father
00:54:21a very high esteem
00:54:23and consideration.
00:54:25We're about to connect
00:54:27in order
00:54:27with Rome for Lazio Foggia,
00:54:29Turin for Juventus
00:54:30Fiorentina
00:54:31Verona for Verona Genoa
00:54:32Naples for Naples
00:54:33Turin
00:54:33Arezzo for Arezzo
00:54:34Volume
00:54:35Ferrara
00:54:37He was forced
00:54:38to send Foggia
00:54:39in Serie B
00:54:39so think
00:54:40Thomas Mestelli
00:54:41how could he live
00:54:41that game.
00:54:44This first half
00:54:45which recently ended
00:54:46it was like a kind of
00:54:47of invitation to suffering
00:54:48for Lazio fans.
00:54:50I think it prevailed
00:54:51the fear,
00:54:52fear
00:54:52that something
00:54:53went wrong.
00:54:55I'm on the fifth
00:54:55of the second half
00:54:56in a clash
00:54:57with Rognoni
00:54:58I broke my collarbone
00:54:59and followed the whole match
00:55:01from the locker room
00:55:02sensing that
00:55:03what was happening
00:55:04from the noise
00:55:04what the fans did.
00:55:06Attention
00:55:07to get back on track
00:55:08a penalty kick
00:55:08in favor of Lazio.
00:55:19And it is with
00:55:20the fifteenth
00:55:21came
00:55:22of the second
00:55:23Clear Whistles
00:55:23with his linen
00:55:24after an hour of play
00:55:26Foggia was
00:55:27an obstacle
00:55:28extremely
00:55:31from that moment on
00:55:32silence of Olympus
00:55:33fear
00:55:34why he was expelled
00:55:35Carla Schellen
00:55:41here the latest
00:55:4220 minutes
00:55:43he felt
00:55:44the ball
00:55:45breathe
00:55:46why the stadium
00:55:47he was afraid
00:55:48that Foggia
00:55:49could equalize.
00:56:14the game is over
00:56:15it was a liberation
00:56:16It's 5.45pm
00:56:19of May 12th
00:56:20Lazio
00:56:20who beat
00:56:21the foccia
00:56:21of measures
00:56:22on penalty
00:56:22champion of Italy
00:56:47and at that moment
00:56:50the heart explodes
00:56:51they don't let us in
00:56:53on the field
00:56:53because there were so many people
00:56:54on the field
00:56:54that match
00:56:55and so we wait
00:56:56Dad in the locker room
00:56:57in the corridor
00:56:58and he just sees us
00:56:59he hugs us
00:57:00and at that moment
00:57:01we understood
00:57:02what was happiness
00:57:05happiness
00:57:06of a man
00:57:07that anyway
00:57:08had passed
00:57:08in his life
00:57:09many situations
00:57:11where he had risked
00:57:11even to die
00:57:12and be in that moment
00:57:13in a city like Rome
00:57:15in a team like Lazio
00:57:16who had never won anything
00:57:17to deliver the first scudetto
00:57:20it was a beautiful moment
00:57:22of our life.
00:57:29The golden statuette
00:57:30of the sower Ina
00:57:31it was marked
00:57:31to Tommaso Maestrelli
00:57:32that in ten years
00:57:33he was able to conquer it
00:57:34as many as two
00:57:34with many other medals
00:57:36the first
00:57:37he kept driving it
00:57:37Foggia in Serie B
00:57:38the medals
00:57:39at the wheel
00:57:40of the queen
00:57:40and of Lazio itself
00:57:41a real record
00:57:43that we wish
00:57:43to Maestrelli
00:57:44to enrich.
00:57:45It's in trust
00:57:45of all of us
00:57:46that Lazio
00:57:47be confirmed
00:57:48this year
00:57:48of course we have in front of us
00:57:50a crowd
00:57:51of numerous teams
00:57:52that they will give us
00:57:54a hard time
00:57:54but I have a lot of confidence
00:57:56in my players
00:57:57and I think that
00:57:58can confirm
00:57:59what they did
00:57:59until today.
00:58:01Juve that year
00:58:03it is naturally
00:58:04the strongest
00:58:04it starts very very well
00:58:06it is determined
00:58:07to win the championship
00:58:08Lazio
00:58:09he's behind
00:58:11with your head held high
00:58:12with pride
00:58:13with force
00:58:14he doesn't give an inch
00:58:22and so it goes on
00:58:24until the end
00:58:25of the outward journey
00:58:26it begins
00:58:28December
00:58:28January

01:01:17he didn't have
01:01:19no chance
01:01:20of life

01:01:22that could stay
01:01:23not very well
01:01:24but not
01:01:25that he was
01:01:26so bad

01:01:47we were destroyed
01:01:48but it was a normal thing
01:01:49that we were destroyed
01:01:51because he
01:01:52he had done it to us
01:01:52only good
01:01:53to us

01:02:01the why
01:02:02it had matured like this
01:02:03in a harsh manner
01:02:04and someone said
01:02:06that the match
01:02:06we had played badly
01:02:07someone had been unlucky
01:02:09no one had the courage
01:02:10to say
01:02:10that at that moment
01:02:11the head was
01:02:12somewhere else entirely
01:02:15at that moment
01:02:16there was an interest
01:02:18by
01:02:18of many doctors
01:02:20professors
01:02:22people who
01:02:23they wanted to help Santa
01:02:24and among all these
01:02:26doctors

01:02:37of the results
01:02:38with the support
01:02:39of the doctors
01:02:39that they didn't understand
01:02:40how was it possible
01:02:41something like that
01:02:44we always went
01:02:45to find it
01:02:45every workout

01:03:00that the mister
01:03:01from the room
01:03:01of the clinic
01:03:02looked in turn
01:03:04and also said hello

01:03:58so much attachment
01:03:59that beyond

01:04:24but I didn't think
01:04:25to be able to get there
01:04:37the year after

01:04:39we start again
01:04:40without Tommaso Mestelli
01:04:41the company
01:04:41by force
01:04:42of what
01:04:42he takes it
01:04:42another coach
01:04:43and chooses
01:04:43Julius Corsini
01:04:44a coach
01:04:45Anyway
01:04:46Good
01:04:47up to par
01:04:48clearly
01:04:48he didn't have
01:04:49the relationship
01:04:50That
01:04:51could have had
01:04:52Maestrelli
01:04:53with his Lazio
01:04:54he used
01:04:55the iron fist
01:04:56and the iron fist
01:04:58with these guys
01:04:58it wasn't going well
01:04:59Corsini
01:05:00go right away
01:05:01in conflict
01:05:02with Giorgio Chinalia
01:05:04the results
01:05:05they were scarce
01:05:06they go to play
01:05:07in Ascoli
01:05:08and the players
01:05:09they take small portions
01:05:09and they say
01:05:09if in Ascoli
01:05:10we lose
01:05:10go away
01:05:11there was no more space
01:05:12for him
01:05:13mom
01:05:14he saw Santa
01:05:15sad
01:05:15and ask him
01:05:16Thomas
01:05:17what's wrong?
01:05:18Nothing

01:05:25my parents told us no
01:05:26and one day
01:05:27the phone call came
01:05:29always aside
01:05:30of the then
01:05:31Federal President
01:05:32Franks
01:05:33who wanted it
01:05:34at the wheel
01:05:35of the National Team
01:05:36to prepare
01:05:37the 78 World Cup
01:05:39and in front of one thing
01:05:40of the genre
01:05:41mom
01:05:42he said
01:05:42Thomas

01:05:46it's better
01:05:47the national team
01:05:47that any
01:05:48another team
01:05:49why the national team
01:05:49they gather
01:05:50over three months
01:05:51the elements
01:05:51they are rarer
01:05:55Dad
01:05:55he kept seeing them
01:05:57the players
01:05:57once a week
01:05:58they came to the house
01:05:59and they ate with him
01:06:00they asked him how he was
01:06:02if there was a need
01:06:02of something
01:06:03and in one of these lunches
01:06:04Dad told him
01:06:05Boys

01:06:07I'm about to say
01:06:07both the National team

01:06:10but we are going
01:06:12in Serie B
01:06:13only him
01:06:14he could have gotten us out
01:06:15to certain problems
01:06:17Why
01:06:18there was always danger
01:06:20that Giorgio
01:06:20could go to America
01:06:21there were many
01:06:23situations
01:06:24that they could
01:06:25Truly
01:06:25take us directly
01:06:27in Serie B
01:06:28at that point
01:06:28mother intervenes
01:06:29and says
01:06:30Boys
01:06:30don't joke
01:06:31Thomas
01:06:31he can't run
01:06:32such a risk
01:06:33the thing ended
01:06:34the dinner
01:06:35they spoke
01:06:36and mom
01:06:38he saw in the eyes
01:06:39of Santa
01:06:39an infinite sadness
01:06:42the eyes
01:06:43they had
01:06:43gloomy
01:06:44and mom said
01:06:45what's up with you Thomas?
01:06:47and Adalina
01:06:49I want
01:06:49to re-drain
01:06:50Lazio
01:06:52and at that point
01:06:53mom
01:06:55he raised his hands
01:06:56And
01:06:58he said
01:06:59do that
01:06:59what do you feel
01:07:00to do
01:07:23have you ever thought
01:07:24for a moment
01:07:25when he was sick
01:07:26of never being able to again
01:07:27return to a field
01:07:28of football
01:07:29Yes
01:07:31Yes
01:07:32And
01:07:32at certain times
01:07:34Truly
01:07:34I didn't believe anymore
01:07:35to live
01:07:49the first match
01:07:50here at the Olympic
01:07:51against Naples
01:07:52there was
01:07:53lots of people
01:07:54even if then
01:07:55the result
01:07:56it wasn't good
01:07:58Usually
01:07:59it was Santa
01:07:59that was loading
01:08:00the player at a thousand
01:08:00and that time
01:08:01they were the players
01:08:02that they were loading
01:08:02mister
01:08:02listen to me
01:08:03the first match
01:08:04it's your game
01:08:05the match
01:08:06Unfortunately
01:08:06it ended 1-0
01:08:07outside of Naples
01:08:08I remember
01:08:09I Morisso
01:08:09leaving the field
01:08:11we hear from people
01:08:12what they said
01:08:14it is no longer
01:08:14a Maestrelli
01:08:15first time
01:08:16he no longer has
01:08:17the capacity
01:08:18to engrave
01:08:19a Maestrelli
01:08:20before morning
01:08:21he would never have lost
01:08:22this match
01:08:22the first time
01:08:23we hear a criticism
01:08:24addressed to our father
01:08:27we are at the edge
01:08:29of the championship
01:08:29and now
01:08:31the situation
01:08:31it is almost compromised
01:08:32the match
01:08:33at home
01:08:34he is with Turin
01:08:35that of Lazio
01:08:36must absolutely
01:08:37WIN
01:08:37but he can't win
01:08:39but the thing
01:08:39ugliest
01:08:41It's Giorgio's farewell
01:08:44only Santa
01:08:45he could have stopped him
01:08:45at that moment
01:08:46but dad
01:08:47he lets him go
01:08:51Giorgio leaves
01:08:52the panic
01:08:53the panic
01:08:54of the fans
01:08:54the panic
01:08:55of the players
01:08:55so much in Santa
01:08:57Father panic
01:08:58he didn't have it
01:08:58at that moment
01:08:59because he had seen
01:09:00a little boy
01:09:0119 years old
01:09:02that he had thought
01:09:04That
01:09:04would have helped him
01:09:07the first thing
01:09:08what he did
01:09:09he told me

01:09:20but that
01:09:21he is 19 years old
01:09:22but I can
01:09:22put
01:09:22responsibility
01:09:23of the genre
01:09:23dad
01:09:24but it's the most
01:09:24strongest of all
01:09:25he is the strongest
01:09:26of all
01:09:26we said it
01:09:27also because
01:09:27he put himself
01:09:28to play with us
01:09:28after training
01:09:29and then
01:09:29there was
01:09:30particularly sympathy
01:09:31he gave us the t-shirts
01:09:32he was joking about it
01:09:33and then
01:09:33we were
01:09:34in love
01:09:34of him
01:09:35Boys
01:09:35Jordan
01:09:36he doesn't play
01:09:36but then
01:09:37Sunday
01:09:37there is training
01:09:38Jordan
01:09:39of Tolare
01:09:40beautiful and dramatic
01:09:41for Lazio
01:09:42the match in Florence
01:09:44that match
01:09:45it also starts well
01:09:46which marks Giordano
01:09:47which gives us hope
01:09:48but then the match
01:09:49it becomes tight
01:09:501-0
01:09:501-1
01:09:512-2
01:09:513-2
01:09:524-2
01:09:534-3
01:09:53In short
01:09:54Lazio leaves
01:09:54defeat
01:09:56then it is lost in Florence
01:09:57destiny
01:09:58it is marked
01:09:59the press
01:10:00comes out with some titles
01:10:02Lazio condemned
01:10:04Lazio in Serie B
01:10:05we play against Milan
01:10:07which was going very fast
01:10:08Lazio second to last
01:10:11Milan third in the standings
01:10:13the prediction
01:10:14that's almost all
01:10:14the Rossoneri side
01:10:17Lazio, on the other hand, starts off very well
01:10:19the friend is Giordano
01:10:23Carraschelli
01:10:24Badiani
01:10:254-0
01:10:31we had triggered
01:10:33a reaction mechanism
01:10:35induced by the presence
01:10:37of the Maestelli
01:10:37which allowed
01:10:38to play that game
01:10:40and from there
01:10:41run towards salvation
01:10:46and then we arrive
01:10:47on the last day
01:10:48where to go to play in Como
01:10:51that Sunday
01:10:51Dad wasn't well
01:10:52he had a very, very high fever
01:10:55he went to the bench
01:10:56with the ram
01:10:56a little out of superstition
01:10:57partly because he felt cold
01:10:58despite the season
01:11:00it was already advanced
01:11:01we absolutely had to
01:11:02take a point
01:11:03to save us
01:11:04he couldn't
01:11:04absolutely allow
01:11:06to leave the team
01:11:08in Serie B
01:11:09that is, it was a thing
01:11:10that he would never have accepted
01:11:12that is, he knew
01:11:12he was aware
01:11:13that that would have been
01:11:14his last match
01:11:15after ten minutes
01:11:16we were under
01:11:17of two throats
01:11:19the players saw his face
01:11:21and they understood
01:11:22that they couldn't
01:11:23at that moment
01:11:24disappoint him
01:11:25but Maestrelli's team
01:11:27he halved the gap
01:11:29to the twentieth
01:11:29with Giordano
01:11:33and then they multiplied
01:11:35the forces
01:11:36both physical
01:11:37that mental
01:11:38and they brought
01:11:40in Lazio
01:11:40at a draw
01:11:47the satisfaction
01:11:48to have
01:11:49achieved

01:11:55like the day
01:11:55that has been won
01:11:56to the Scudetto
01:11:56I remember that the mister
01:11:58at the end of the game
01:11:59he was very tired
01:12:00physically
01:12:01I have to give
01:12:02greater merit
01:12:03to the players
01:12:04Meaning what
01:12:05regardless
01:12:06from the result
01:12:09to have gone
01:12:10at a disadvantage
01:12:10of two goals
01:12:11it means that the team
01:12:12has a character
01:12:13he has a temperament
01:12:14the last act of love

01:13:11to a person
01:13:12he didn't say his name
01:13:14of Santa
01:13:15who is following me

01:13:26without asking
01:13:27appointment
01:13:28to family members
01:13:29how he saw me
01:13:30he tried
01:13:31to pull oneself up
01:13:33to lean on
01:13:35on the backrest
01:13:35of the bed
01:13:36but he couldn't do it
01:13:37I helped him
01:13:38and he
01:13:40he told me
01:13:42Everything OK
01:13:44I was incapable
01:13:45from the emotion
01:13:46unable
01:13:47to talk to him
01:13:48he couldn't do it
01:13:49to talk to him
01:13:51he noticed it
01:13:54after ten minutes
01:13:55he looked at me
01:13:57and he told me
01:13:57Hi Marti
01:13:58which is the same thing
01:14:00that he told me
01:14:01when I met him
01:14:02for the first time
01:14:05I went
01:14:06and before
01:14:08disappear
01:14:09from his sight
01:14:09I stopped
01:14:10and me
01:14:12I turned around
01:14:12to look at it
01:14:14and he
01:14:15he did it to me again
01:14:16the nod
01:14:16with the head
01:14:18And
01:14:18and it ended like this
01:14:22we saw
01:14:23the eyes of joy
01:14:25the day of the championship
01:14:26we saw
01:14:27the eyes of hope
01:14:28the day of Como's salvation
01:14:30but those eyes
01:14:31of impotence
01:14:32we had never seen
01:14:33in Santa
01:14:36it's hard to say
01:14:37player, coach, friends
01:14:39because it is almost impossible
01:14:42at least for that
01:14:43that I saw then
01:14:44After
01:14:45and in other years
01:14:46in my life
01:14:47of football
01:14:49someone like him

01:15:05I cried a few times
01:15:06in my life
01:15:06but
01:15:08the disappearance of Thomas
01:15:09it hurt me a lot
01:15:12I missed him
01:15:14a father
01:15:14I missed him
01:15:16a person
01:15:18which gave me a lot
01:15:28it's not that I've given up
01:15:30it's like he's on a trip
01:15:32Thomas
01:15:32and sometimes I'll tell her
01:15:33I'm running to the phone
01:15:35thinking that he
01:15:37call me
