Gigi Meroni, la mitica ala del Torino, l'eclettico artista prestato al calcio. Un giovane campione morto a soli 24 anni, travolto da un'automobile. La sua è la storia di un fuoriclasse, ma anche e soprattutto la storia di un'intera generazione. Un calciatore amato e contestato che - con la sua capigliatura da 'Beatle', l'abbigliamento sfarzoso e l'esibizionismo un po' ingenuo - dà scandalo ma si diverte e fa divertire come nessuno prima. Meroni, sul campo come nella vita, è "il ragazzo che giocava un altro gioco".

00:09Dear policemen
00:45Madam, excuse me, just a moment, what do you think of Meroni?
00:48And who is Meroni?
00:49Can I ask a question?
00:51No, look, I'm not sorry.
00:52Meroni would be here?
00:53If Derblasse were less it would be better.
00:55We wanted to know what you think of Meroni.
00:58Well, apart from the fact that I'm from Juventus, well, as a player he has flair, let's say, he has a good shot,
01:10he sees the game, he sees the game, but he holds the ball a little too much, let's say, he slows down the action of the players a little
01:16comrades, well, as far as I can tell, well, I haven't seen him play too many times.
01:22But do you know Meroni?
01:23No, personally not.
01:24Thank you.
01:27Gigi Meroni, the legendary Torino winger.
01:30Gigi Meroni, the big hat player who plays football.
01:33Gigi Meroni, the eclectic artist who playfully dresses up as a TV news reporter.
01:38Gigi Meroni, a young man of only 24 years old, died after being hit by a car on October 15, 1967.
01:46What we want to tell you today is not only the story of a football champion, but also and above all the
01:53story of an entire generation, that of the kids of the Sixties.
01:57The years of the Beatles and Che Guevara's Vietnam, years that divided people just as they divided Gigi Meroni, a beloved footballer
02:06and hated that in a still very conservative Italy he causes a scandal with his hairdo, with his exhibitionism, a
02:14a little naive.
02:15But then that boy from Como enchants everyone with his dribbling and with the sliced shots that leave
02:22stone the opposing goalkeepers.
02:25Because he, Meroni, the grenade butterfly on the pitch, has fun and makes others have fun like no one before.
02:33Because Meroni, on the pitch as in life, was a boy who played a different game.
02:53For us Torino fans, Mironi is ideally up there with the great Torino.
02:59They play every Sunday without any league matches being played early or late.
03:05They take to the field at 3pm.
03:10Gigi Meroni left behind a memory that goes beyond football.
03:14In Turin, at the spot where his bitter fate was fulfilled, there are always bouquets of fresh flowers.
03:20His legend is still alive.
03:22As I live among the Granata fans, it is the memory of the plane that crashed into the hill in 1949
03:28of Superga,
03:29crushing the champions of the great Torino.
03:31The team that always won.
03:35The Bull was defined by Giovanni Arpino with an adjective that was tremendistic.
03:40It's a team that you love very much and for which you participate a lot in the things that happen.
03:47The adjective "tremendista" applies very well to Mironi, because he was someone who could jump across the pitch with two touches,
03:55he entered the area, scored, and was like a dead leaf.
03:57For us at Torino, Gigi Meroni was our idol at the time.
04:04Gigi Meroni represented a generation, the spirit of a generation, that of the mid-sixties,
04:13the one that was preparing for the great changes in customs and mentality.
04:20He preceded that generation on the football pitch, that is, in one of the most conformist environments by definition,
04:28without wanting to convey any political message.
04:32The image of the grenade butterfly is the image of a player who almost seems to fly on the grass.
04:51Luigi Meroni's is the story of a provincial boy.
04:55A story that begins in Como on February 24, 1943.
05:01This is the famous courtyard where the first kicks were played.
05:04Here we grew up together, here one had to learn or else one would only get kicked.
05:09Because in this place we were up to 5 against 5.
05:14This is one door and the other door where that young man enters now,
05:17that he too was part of the gang, this young man too.
05:21The second door.
05:22Gigi was great here with his brother Celestino, both of them were very good.
05:27It was mandatory to learn.
05:29Whoever was better played more, in the sense that he was always in possession of the ball.
05:33A poor player never touched the ball.
05:36And who was the best here?
05:38Gigi.
05:41While still very young, Meroni lost his father.
05:45His mother, Rosa, is forced to pull the cart from morning till night
05:49to support Luigi, his older brother, Celestino, and little Maria.
05:54Rosa works from home for the Como textile industry.
05:57After school, her children help her.
05:59It's a hard life, made up of few things.
06:02In my free time, there's only friends and football.
06:07He has always been very close to his friends here in Como.
06:13As soon as he could he came to Como.
06:14We called the oratory here the university of football.
06:18Now it's synthetic.
06:21It used to be all sand and very hard earth.
06:24Great matches were played and the wall here was also used to make the 1-2,
06:31because the ball never went out unless you moved forward.
06:36So when you went against like that, you threw the ball against the wall,
06:40tac tac, 1-2 and off we go.
06:43Whoever had numbers like him would definitely come out and keep playing.
06:51Many players have left here, only one champion, but many good players.
06:57He is your great goalkeeper in the world.
07:00Yes, when I was flying they told me, come down, it's an hour.
07:04No, because I was only there for a quarter of an hour.
07:06We loved to laugh and joke.
07:08As we still do today.
07:09We have enough goliards.
07:12Also because there was nothing else.
07:15We either laughed or we cried, so it's better to laugh.
07:19In the late 50s and early 60s, there was just football.
07:27Often, after the game, he was here at 10 pm to sleep with us.
07:32to talk calmly, but about everything other than the match.
07:38So he was really one of us.
07:43He played at the oratory in San Bartolomeo.
07:47And then they asked Inter for him and he went for a trial, so to speak.
07:52They practically had him.
07:56Someone came here to sign the contract.
08:00My mother absolutely did not want him to go to Milan alone twice a week.
08:05by train, like that.
08:06And then she tore off his tag.
08:09And luckily he went to Como.
08:14Because someone convinced her that Como was here, but for her parents once.
08:19It was that the children went to work, not that they became footballers.
08:23What job did you do before becoming a footballer?
08:27Look, I was a designer.
08:30Sketch artist for fur and textile designs for women.
08:35So he was earning enough?
08:36No, I earned very little.
08:38I earned very little because I was still an apprentice, I still had to learn.
08:46I earned a little bit later when I played and worked at the same time.
08:52I met him when we were 16, 16 and a half, representing Lombardy,
08:5860 boys tried out to then choose the team.
09:02And I get put on a team with this guy I didn't know,
09:05but we immediately found ourselves on the pitch, duetting.
09:08In fact, then the field transports you outside, so outside we started talking, getting to know each other.
09:13and from there a friendship was born.
09:16Overcoming his mother's resistance, Gigi tries his hand at professionalism.
09:19It doesn't take him long to get noticed, he's a natural talent, a football aesthete.
09:24Tell me, you're 20 years old, so you've had a short career behind you.
09:29Can you tell us about it?
09:31Yes, it's a small thing, in fact.
09:33I was bought by Comoda, a youth league team, I stayed for three years and in the last year, after a good championship,
09:41Genoa bought me.
09:43The footballer Meroni is becoming popular. Does this affect you?
09:47No, I'm happy, not the effect, lots.
09:52Summer 1962.
09:53Genoa is returning to Serie A after being relegated.
09:56They've been through a tough time, but they're still a title-winning team, with nine league titles under their belt.
10:01Meroni's first goal came in the Coppa Italia against Udinese.
10:04It is September 10, 1962.
10:07Gigi has a frail physique, little chest, but as soon as he is given the chance he shows everyone that he has the feet
10:12good
10:12and who is capable of taking a beating without complaining.
10:15On May 5, 1963, he also scored his first league goal during a great match against Lanerossi Vicenze.
10:22Gazzetta dello Sport named him best player on the pitch.
10:25On Sunday evenings he used to go from Genoa to Como in the 600, his first car.
10:31And he also put in, back then there was the record player, you know.
10:39I believe that Genoa had an impact on Meroni's mentality and way of being.
10:49That this also coincided with the birth of a great generation of Genoese singer-songwriters.
10:58It is probably favored by the times and by what a city like Genoa, a seaside city,
11:07she could stimulate an open city where she made acquaintances, where she also fell in love.
11:16And the Genoa of the early 60s, the Genoa of Tenku, of Gino Paoli, the city of Lauzi and of
11:23By Andrè.
11:24A school of freedom, an ideal place for an original and independent personality, like Gigi Meroni.
11:32But Italian society as a whole is changing, and Meroni is a curious and attentive young man.
11:38It was in Genoa that Meroni met Cristina, a Polish girl, daughter of Giostrai.
11:45Cristina works at Luna Park and is the girl who loads the rifles for the shooting range.
11:52and who becomes the great love of Meroni's life.
11:56A story worthy of a movie.
11:58For him, Genoa was Cristiana's Luna Park.
12:01It was a part of Cristiana, of this woman he spied on at the shooting range, for whom he spent his time.
12:07his earnings, not all of them.
12:08Well done, well done to all the castagnole, you are the champion.
12:12People of Lugo, balloon pops, enough with the castagnole.
12:17Forward, ever more beautiful, ever more satisfying.
12:19The shooting gallery you saw behind Sofia Loren belonged to Cristiana, from Cristiana's family.
12:26They had rented it, leased it, for the shooting of that film.
12:31The assistant director of that film had fallen in love with Cristian.
12:34Cristian had asked her parents to marry her.
12:37Cristian was a little girl, just over 16, but then Cristian fell in love with Gigi Meroni.
12:42But she was promised to another man, that was still the custom.
12:45Cristian got married in Rome, in a church that represents the beautiful world of Italian cinema and the world
12:50of the Luna Parks.
12:51He goes to see her get married, like in the Graduate scene, hoping she'll say no.
12:58Gigi was there, at the confessional, he was wandering around, hoping that things would change at the last minute.
13:03Cristiana had told him, don't worry, I love you.
13:06Cristiana said yes to the assistant director and became his wife.
13:09And Gigi Meroni, hidden, holed up, who knows where, in that church someone, said in a confessional, did not have the strength
13:18to shout no.
13:31And instead for Cristiana Meroni you have to wait a little longer, but only a few more days.
13:35But then she breaks up the marriage, they get back together and also this relationship with the one who was considered the
13:44beautiful among the beautiful in the world of amusement parks,
13:46something very romantic in itself.
13:49It's like a fairy tale, beautiful.
13:55Meroni's footballing success came with Genoa at Fiorentina on 27 October 1963.
14:01Gigi is in great form and scores two goals.
14:03Sports journalists write that a champion is born, even the new Sivori.
14:07However, they do not fail to point out that his hair resembles that of the Beatles, who have now achieved
14:13worldwide fame.
14:15In short, the character of the rebellious and slightly artistic player begins to assert itself.
14:19The match against Fiorentina earned him a call-up to the National B team, but that with the technical commissioner Edmondo Fabri
14:26it will always be a difficult relationship.
14:35Listen, is this your first time being called up to the national team?
14:38Yes, yes.
14:39Were you expecting this call-up?
14:40But I was hoping you were expecting it, I can't say.
14:44We find it a little different in appearance than usual, what happened?
14:48They gave me a haircut, as you can see.
14:51Was it Fabri?
14:53It was Fabri, he asked me if I could cut them, which was nice.
14:57Do you know what happened to Samson when they cut his hair?
15:01No, I really hope I don't do as he sees it.
15:05For the national team, Meroni is deployed on the left, but even as a player, Gigi is unconventional and difficult to categorize.
15:12Discussions are beginning to arise about what his role is.
15:16Meroni, have you always wanted to be a playmaker in midfield or a running back?
15:23Look, I've always wanted to score goals more than just run in with the ball.
15:26That would be too good to be true.
15:29I really think I'm a top player, in short.
15:33He was atypical, but he was part of the football of the time, that is, he was a player who invented football.
15:39You could never predict what Meroni would do to you on the pitch, because you can predict two or three things and
15:44he made another one.
15:45That is, they were those typical players of enormous talent who had great technique with the ball and had inventiveness, it was a
15:55ball artist.
15:56He was a winger, a winger, as they sometimes said, elegant, a dribbler, capable of crossing, capable of
16:01go near the door.
16:05Meroni sometimes actually gets the ball in the net.
16:08It's no longer a surprise, its market value is starting to rise.
16:12In the summer of '64 his contract was fought over by the big teams.
16:17Faced with an offer of 300 million, the Genoa president cannot resist.
16:21It was the highest amount paid up to that point for a 20-year-old player.
16:26Are red and blue good colors for an artist and a footballer?
16:31Eh, for me they were beautiful colors.
16:33And did they bring good luck?
16:34Well, so far, yes.
16:37De Meroni was Torino's great acquisition.
16:40When Genoa had to let him go, there were barricades in Genoa, right?
16:45The workers of Genoa, the dockers, etc., protested because the company had sold the star, who was Gigi Meroni.
16:55Well, that's the story.
16:56Gigi Meroni came to Turin with this load, he was already a star, right?
17:02And he was a star and he acted like a star, too.
17:06If you want to go on a trip to the mountains or to the seaside or go for a bike ride, what
17:10would he do?
17:11A trip to the beach? A trip to the mountains?
17:14Or out for a bike ride?
17:15I can stay home and sleep, I'd prefer, look.
17:18What does he do with the money?
17:20I spend.
17:22Don't you have a little savings?
17:24Yes, something, but I like spending money.
17:27I'm spinning it, you understand?
17:32Luckily I ended up on the right side of Turin, says Meroni as soon as he arrives in the team that Nereo Rocco wants
17:38restore to its former glory.
17:40A team that features Ferrini, Poletti, Vieri, Fossati, Simoni, Rosato, Puglia, and Moschino.
17:46A group of friends who let him be whatever he wants off the pitch.
17:50In the eyes of the people, Meroni is now the long-haired player, the fifth Beatle.
17:55But his aesthetic liberties are the subject of heavy criticism, even personal.
18:00He was a rebel against conformism and convention.
18:06He was an artist in every sense, because he was someone who was constantly changing, he was someone who was also attracted
18:16from his impulses and followed his impulses.
18:22Meroni is well suited to narrating the 60s, before '68, before the protests.
18:30As far as I can remember, the real rebellion came a few years earlier, and Gigi Meroni was part of that scene.
18:45In short, an interpreter of his time, it is the mid-60s and the scene is occupied by new protagonists,
18:53young people with their music, their hair, their long hair, their way of dressing, their
18:58challenge to parents, teachers, and to the procedures and formalities.
19:04And Meroni is even more scandalous, because he brings this new lifestyle into one of the most conformist Italian environments,
19:12the world of football.
19:16This head here, reminds me of the truth, there is no gypsy head.
19:21They really offended him, I tell you even the apostraphes, they were Calimero, go wash yourself,
19:27they threw coins saying go to the barber, so much so that Moschino said that before the matches,
19:32in certain fields, it had become let's go and get the money for the aperitif, we went under the curve,
19:37he and Meroni, when he saw him coming in, who pretended to listen and feel the ground,
19:42They threw coins at them, and they collected them to go get an aperitif.
19:46Mom also continued with the story of the hair, also because they sent us the money orders later,
19:53who clearly arrived home with the amount of money to go to the hairdresser.
19:58But why does he wear them like this?
20:01Because everyone says Italian, I keep them, probably for that reason, I think it's for that reason.
20:06But if the newspapers hadn't been so closed off to these things,
20:1368 would not have been explained.
20:15If there hadn't been people hitting Meroni, the long-haired ones, everything would have had a different impact.
20:22Besides, Gigi Meroni had met a friend in Genoa who thought exactly like him.
20:27One can have long hair, short hair, medium hair, green hair, yellow hair, red hair, what does this mean?
20:33In fact, I made a song about this thing,
20:37in which I maintain that everyone is free to behave as they please.
21:02I think it's difficult to interpret what wearing long hair meant at the time,
21:08and especially for today's kids.
21:11For the time, however, it was truly a gesture of nonconformism.
21:16It was an era when there was still the possibility of adopting a very personal style
21:25and to somehow amaze or even shock public opinion, the neighbors.
21:42There was another Turin that around the two-legged nocturnal animals, the bipeds in nocturnal plumes,
21:49among which were Meroni and there was me.
21:51Another Turin that allowed for example car races,
21:55at a traffic light very simply with a nod, he who was in a spider,
22:00he made it clear to me that he wanted to run with me until a race in the night,
22:05and I didn't recognize him.
22:07And when we arrive below to his, in my opinion the most beautiful square in Turin,
22:11one of the most beautiful squares in Turin, he introduced himself, I introduced myself,
22:15he had said something to me, little, I knew everything about him completely,
22:19and it began, I can't say a friendship, but a kind of partnership,
22:22because he took me straight away in the night to his attic,
22:26it was a somewhat sophisticated attic, you know,
22:29Cristiano was awake, he introduced me to her, he showed me his pictures.
22:34Piazza Vittoria was one of the most beautiful, most romantic places,
22:38because this attic was very romantic.
22:42In Turin Meroni refuses the bourgeois apartment that society offers him,
22:47decides to live in the center, in an attic overlooking
22:50on the most romantic square in the city, it is the right place to let off steam
22:54to his artistic creativity.
22:56As a boy, when he designed fabrics for the Como silk factories,
22:59He developed a passion for drawing and painting that never left him.
23:03Usually, Meroni starts painting on Sunday evening, after the match,
23:07and often stays awake all night in front of the easel.
23:10He is now more and more of an artist player.
23:16He couldn't make eyes at me, that wasn't what he wanted,
23:19so he never finished it.
23:21I have read, in more than one article, that he,
23:24when they forgot about Gigi Meroni the footballer,
23:27he wanted to do an exhibition, because he didn't want it to say
23:30the exhibition of the footballer Meroni.
23:33No, he wanted it to be called Meroni's paintings,
23:37non-footballer.
23:38So he wanted to do it when people had kind of forgotten.
23:42In my opinion, this is the time.
23:44Gigi Meroni's painting exhibition finally opened in 2005.
23:49In the 60s, great painters such as Guttuso and Cagli
23:52they had complimented him.
23:54But today it's not just painting that counts.
23:56Those who were kids in those years
23:58they want to remember a multifaceted character,
24:01unique in the history of Italian football.
24:05He would never have been a gallery type, you know, a club type,
24:09snobbish, privileged, of caste, of painters, right?
24:12He liked to depend just as an outlet,
24:15just as he liked to dress eccentrically,
24:17just as he liked to do things,
24:20the French would say,
24:22«de choses autres», of other things.
24:24You're telling me who's over there,
24:27you take me around to work,
24:29you find many tickets and thousands,
24:31I'm thinking of buying a balilla.
24:35At one point he tells me,
24:37«I bought the Rolls Royce».
24:39I said earlier it was a Rolls Royce.
24:40Simple, go and get it in Vercelli from a chicken coop.
24:43Well.
24:44In total it was a Balilla.
24:46It was actually used as a chicken coop.
24:49All dirty, a disaster.
24:51And we completely redid everything the way he wanted it,
24:54with everything quilted inside,
24:56with your own, look...
24:57The light bulb.
24:58The light bulb, the basur.
25:00A balilla.
25:02Then we got license plate 777,
25:05because he had the number 7 shirt.
25:07We made that one.
25:09Mom also eats the license plate.
25:12We also went around the Ario in October,
25:14of vintage cars.
25:16Mario in front with the Balilla.
25:17He was close behind in a blue Giulietta Sprint.
25:21Blue.
25:22And he was one of the three,
25:23you were going in front of me,
25:24Mario also used it.
25:28A character who was arriving,
25:30in Como with a chicken on a leash.
25:34He was walking around with a chicken.
25:36The chicken then also became his symbol, right?
25:43In the square of Como, under the arcades,
25:45we started walking with the chicken on a leash.
25:50In quiet lands,
25:51we sat at the bar,
25:52we took our drinks,
25:54we passed by the fanatics,
25:56or alleged fanatics who were then the ones Gigi criticized.
26:02and so we passed by peacefully.
26:05Well, a little bit in this respect,
26:07I think he did it too,
26:09a form of revenge,
26:11against those who wanted to denigrate him
26:13or wanted to criticize him for his attitude.
26:23we had brought a goat,
26:24only that the game is over
26:26he brought it back to the owner,
26:30because if he went around with the goat,
26:32goodbye, who knows what happens.
26:39No footballer has lived life
26:42with the lightness with which he lived it,
26:45which was also at a certain point
26:47the highest paid footballer in Italian football,
26:50of the Italian championship.
26:51A whimsical character on the pitch,
26:53as in private life.
26:56Passionate about light music,
26:58avid collector of futuristic-cut clothes.
27:01And also that carefree way of being,
27:04there was an exhibitionism,
27:07a naive exhibitionism though.
27:10However Maroni you must have
27:13a special designer for these clothes of his.
27:16Yes, I have the special designer.
27:19It's me.
27:21I draw them myself,
27:23trousers, jackets,
27:25a few pairs of shoes,
27:27I take it to the tailor who is very good
27:29and he develops my ideas for me
27:32some clothes, in short.
27:34We had to be careful
27:35that the length of the sleeve
27:37it had to be as he said,
27:39that had to come out of her,
27:40short sleeve,
27:42because it had to come out
27:43the shirt cuff
27:44to which the centimeters
27:45that he was keen to have.
27:47In short,
27:47it was all a matter
27:49of centimeters,
27:51of proportion,
27:52his ideas,
27:53very clear,
27:54very clear,
27:55which then had to be realized.
27:56Since that time
27:57then there was this famous one,
27:59then it wrapped up
28:00this famous double-breasted suit
28:01that no one,
28:02Nobody
28:04did he ever make a double-breasted suit
28:06of these dimensions
28:07of Rivera's width.
28:08At that time,
28:09let's talk about that era,
28:10because then they came,
28:12as well as the famous paletò,
28:13when he then decided,
28:14he said,
28:15I would make myself a paleto
28:16Napoleon style.
28:38Meroni was everything
28:40and the opposite of everything.
28:42he was a Beatles lover
28:44and he played with his socks down,
28:48he was a painter,
28:49he designed his own clothes
28:50which were, by the way,
28:51compare to those of Dolce and Gabbana,
28:53truly revolutionary.
28:55So it couldn't help but
28:57ignite the imagination
28:59of the fans,
29:00but I think that beyond
29:02of all this
29:03was a great player,
29:04because without that,
29:06without that talent,
29:08everything else
29:08it would have been relative.
29:19What are they for her?
29:20the subtleties of football?
29:22The dribbling,
29:23for example,
29:25the dribbling,
29:25the treatment of the ball,
29:27the heel kicks
29:28they entertain people,
29:29then it is not said
29:29that with the back heel
29:30it cannot be distinguished
29:32a companion in areas.
29:37Nothing is simple
29:38for Gigi Meroni
29:39not even find
29:40a stable shirt number.
29:41The most critical commentators
29:43they claim that it is only
29:44a juggler
29:44who is neither a goalscorer
29:46and in fact it scores little
29:47only golbelli
29:48nor a midfielder.
29:50To find him
29:50a position on the field
29:51the coaches
29:52they try everything.
29:55They made him play,
29:58I believe,
29:59with all the other shirts
30:00of the attack
30:00except with the eight,
30:01if I remember correctly.
30:13The numbers of the shirts
30:15they meant something
30:16once.
30:17Me for example
30:17I didn't want the 7th
30:19absolutely,
30:19I didn't like it,
30:20I felt marginalized
30:21and instead Gigi
30:22you could hear it on Ajo with the 7.
30:24The number 7
30:25it was his,
30:25it was the one that
30:28it was more congenial to him,
30:29it was his running
30:32around the edges of the field,
30:34towards the edges of the field
30:35as he had learned to do
30:36even in the small field
30:37of the oratory of Como,
30:40that was what allowed him
30:41more spaces,
30:42it couldn't have been
30:44the garnet butterfly
30:45playing in the center
30:47of the attack.
30:48there are decades
30:50in which there are numbers,
30:52then over the years,
30:54late 60s,
30:56the 70s
30:56It's number 7.
30:58The scream
30:59of the curve
31:00compared to Meroni
31:01era
31:01from Campania,
31:03Campamese means
31:04pull in the middle,
31:05it meant that he
31:06how is it done now
31:06with the cross,
31:08he jumped to the man,
31:08he was going to the bottom
31:09and he pulled in the middle,
31:10this was the thing
31:11that was asked of him
31:12and that he sometimes did.
31:13when the match
31:14he was putting it well
31:15then it began
31:15to do gymnastics
31:17and there,
31:17I am trying to say,
31:17the gymkhanas as it is known
31:19one succeeds,
31:20five fail,
31:21there really is that
31:22that succeeds
31:22and then at the end
31:23becomes decisive.
31:28And Meroni
31:29in a team
31:30like that bull
31:31it really was
31:32the champion
31:33what yes,
31:33It is true,
31:34he earned more
31:35compared to his classmates,
31:36my companions
31:36they knew it
31:38and they were there,
31:38they thought it was right
31:40because the public
31:42he came to the stadium
31:42also to see
31:43him,
31:43because it was expected
31:44a magic,
31:46a surprise.
31:47Meroni the champion,
31:49Meroni with all eyes
31:50pointed at you,
31:51Meroni the playmaker
31:54from which one expects
31:55always the number
31:55even in life.
31:57His coexistence
31:58with a married woman
32:00in Italy
32:00that still
32:01there is no law
32:02on divorce
32:03it's a scandal.
32:04Meroni and his Christian
32:06are considered
32:07a couple
32:07of concubines,
32:09of sinners
32:09and the press
32:11he marks them closely.
32:12but Meroni
32:13ignore everyone
32:14and go straight on
32:15if even people
32:16he disapproves of it
32:17he wants
32:18to live
32:18all the way
32:20his story
32:21of love.
32:21there was no word
32:23or discussion
32:24or any dialogue
32:26that there wasn't
32:27inside the Christian one.
32:28The training was over
32:29machine
32:30from the Christian
32:31he was going home
32:32from Fabrizio
32:33this is what he told me
32:33Fabrizio's mother
32:34finished eating
32:35with the morsel still in my throat
32:36down as a Christian
32:37and withdrawal
32:38Christian
32:38she was always only Christian.
32:40Few people
32:40I think it has a life
32:41have had
32:42such an intense story
32:44so beautiful
32:45very little person
32:47I believe
32:47and I am
32:48a lucky one
32:49I feel.
32:54He was treating her
32:55like a queen
32:56this woman
32:57own
32:57the evening passed
32:58he cleaned the two flowers
32:59to take home
33:00if it wasn't there
33:01he left the delegation
33:02to me to bring
33:03everyday
33:03its flowers
33:04the roses
33:06a red rose
33:08everyday
33:09a rose
33:16Meroni was one
33:17of those
33:18that all things
33:19that shouldn't have been done
33:20he did them all
33:20despite this
33:21was the best
33:22as with other Beatles
33:23to which model
33:24he was referring to it a lot
33:25he was one of those
33:26who did things
33:27that were shocking
33:29all codes of conduct
33:31but he liked it
33:32this was the great strength
33:33by Meroni
33:34it was a shovel
33:34of many things
33:36different
33:36that at the time
33:38they appeared
33:39and they had
33:39great success
33:43In April 1965
33:45Edmondo Fabri
33:46he summons him
33:47in the National A team
33:47for the match
33:48of qualification
33:49at the World Cup
33:50against Poland
33:50upon arrival in Warsaw
33:52Meroni
33:53he is photographed
33:54with a long beard
33:55dressed in a flashy way
33:57his attitude
33:58it is considered scandalous
33:59and in Italy
34:00a hard part
34:01press campaign
34:02where he is invited
34:03not to be a clown
34:04in the end
34:05Meroni
34:06he won't play
34:06I remember
34:08in particular
34:09the weather
34:09write things
34:10heavy
34:11towards him
34:12that is, the newspaper
34:13of the ministries
34:14the newspaper
34:14of political power
34:15Roman
34:16and sporting power
34:17which has always been
34:18intertwined
34:18with the political one
34:21which suggested
34:23not to smear
34:24the image
34:25of Italy abroad
34:26sending
34:27these footballers
34:29to go out
34:30with the uniform
34:30of Italy
34:31on the ladder
34:32of the plane
34:33in Warsaw
34:34for example
34:37Fabri
34:38he took him aside
34:39he told him
34:41he showed him
34:42the shirt
34:42number 7
34:43if you cut your hair
34:44it's yours
34:47and Meroni
34:47he refused
34:48to cut one's hair
34:49he had done it
34:50in the national B team
34:52he had already done it
34:52once
34:53he had cut them off
34:54at 19 years old
34:55but
34:57had become
34:58too big
34:58at 23
34:59to do it again
35:01Gigi Meroni
35:02replica
35:03for me
35:04that request
35:04it was an attack
35:05to my private life
35:06I think I acquit
35:08all the way
35:08my obligations
35:09towards sport
35:10why shouldn't I
35:10have the right
35:11to that little
35:11of private life
35:12what's left for me
35:13it's not a question
35:14of hair
35:15or musical tastes
35:16it's a question
35:17of freedom
35:18it's the season
35:201965-66
35:21Turin
35:22than the previous year
35:24he came in third
35:24and the championship begins
35:26full of great hopes
35:27and instead
35:28instead the team
35:29is struggling to take off
35:30and alternate performances
35:32exhilarating
35:33to others
35:34Very
35:34very disappointing
35:35also Meroni
35:36it is discontinuous
35:37not always
35:38he plays as he knows how
35:39but when does he do it
35:41enchants
35:42with his magic
35:43Turin
35:44Grenade
35:44he loves it
35:44more and more
35:45and he becomes
35:47a flag
35:48of his fans
35:50so many people
35:51it was expected
35:53the moment
35:54in which he
35:54with a default
35:56on a disciplinary level
35:57on a behavioral level
36:00allowed
36:01to do it to him
36:01of the reprimands
36:02to scold him
36:03for everything else
36:04never see again
36:05the occasion
36:05Rocco
36:06the master
36:07Rocco told me
36:08he did this to me so much
36:09and I have stuff
36:10to tell him
36:10for how he dresses
36:11he has his hair created
36:12but he doesn't do them to me
36:13it is the most precise
36:14Perfect
36:15honest
36:15on the field
36:16in training
36:16the boy is so good
36:18despite appearances
36:20it's so
36:21obedient
36:22so
36:22that even if he doesn't do it
36:23at least try to do
36:27March 13th
36:2866
36:29Italy B
36:29faces Belgium B
36:31Meroni plays a great game
36:32and scores a great goal
36:33at this point
36:34it's impossible
36:35don't summon him
36:35in the national team
36:36for the World Cup
36:37of England 66
36:38on Meroni
36:39Turin
36:40also for the bonhomie
36:40by Rocco
36:41he had not exercised
36:42none
36:43influence
36:44on the field
36:45trendy
36:46I am trying to say
36:46maybe in the national team
36:48they say
36:49now they'll do it to him
36:49see there
36:51he then had
36:52a strange aggregation
36:53in England
36:54a little on the sidelines
36:55of the team
36:58effectively
36:59a real place
37:00in the team
37:00Meroni
37:01he will never have it
37:02in friendly matches
37:04that precede
37:04the World Cup in England
37:05the Italian national team
37:06he seems invincible
37:07capable of defeating
37:09the opponents
37:14with Bulgaria
37:15it ends 6 to 1
37:16Gigi
37:17not a starter
37:18but when he comes in
37:19puts on display
37:20his entire repertoire
37:21of assists and goals
37:23he's in this game
37:24after all
37:25which marks one
37:26of his goals
37:26most remembered
37:37also in Turin
37:38against Argentina
37:39the technical commissioner
37:40Fabri at the beginning
37:41lets Perani play
37:42but the public
37:43he doesn't appreciate
37:44and starts whistling
37:45he wants Meroni
37:46in the second half
37:47Fabri sends him on the field
37:48in place of Mazzola
37:49and Meroni
37:49he pays it back
37:50giving the public
37:51an unforgettable gold
37:55its prices
37:56they continue to rise
37:57Naples
37:58he wants it
37:59and fire off an assessment
38:00exaggerated
38:01Gigi talks about it
38:02with that mix
38:03of shyness
38:03and mocking spirit
38:04which is one
38:05of his features
38:06most characteristic
38:07let's try to break it
38:07the monotony
38:09and to satisfy
38:11some curiosities
38:12Meroni for example
38:14let's leave the news
38:15of the 500 million
38:16because I believe that
38:16Meroni
38:17true Gigi
38:18you think exactly that
38:20in the same way
38:21I don't think it has changed
38:22since how much does it cost
38:23500 million
38:24not at all
38:25not at all
38:25look I stayed
38:26always the same as before
38:27my rating
38:29it's not a thought
38:30for me
38:31if anything it must be
38:32a thought
38:32for those
38:33who rated me
38:34this figure
38:42in the national team
38:43However
38:44Meroni
38:44remains an outsider
38:45the team
38:46that has to go
38:47to play the World Cup
38:47in England
38:48in the summer of 66
38:49it's all built
38:51about Milan
38:51and on Inter
38:52with big names
38:53like Rivera
38:54Dominghini
38:55Mazzola
38:55and Facchetti
38:57that of Meroni
38:58Well yes
38:58a summons
38:59by popular demand
39:00but little loved
39:01from official circles
39:02of football
39:04Luigi no
39:04he went away
39:05Already
39:07I made long hats
39:10they already had it
39:11a little bit harassed
39:13Before
39:13Therefore
39:14I remember
39:15that Celestine
39:16he wanted to go
39:16in England
39:17to watch the match
39:19but he called us
39:21he said
39:22don't come
39:23why don't they let me play
39:25Why
39:26Luigi no
39:27with Fabri
39:27he didn't have
39:29a good relationship
39:33the sad story
39:34of Italy
39:35and the world championships
39:35of England
39:36of 66
39:37it is known
39:37they happened
39:39many things
39:39incomprehensible
39:40also the way
39:41where it was
39:41Meroni employee
39:42still appears today
39:43without logic
39:45in the first game
39:46against Chile
39:46Italy doesn't play well
39:47but he wins
39:48Meroni is out
39:50play instead
39:51against the Urs
39:52and fights as best he can
39:53against the massive
39:54Soviet defenders
39:55Italy
39:56loses 1 to 0
39:57when it comes to it
39:59to play with Korea
40:00Meroni is out again
40:02Italy and Korea
40:02they meet
40:03in the third race
40:04of the preliminary round
40:05of the round of 16
40:06the technical commissioner
40:07Fabri changes
40:08training once again
40:09back inside Rivera
40:11and trust in Bulgarelli
40:12although it is bruised
40:14the old disease
40:15by Bulgarelli
40:16that now
40:18it got worse
40:20Unfortunately
40:23number 7
40:29the defeat
40:30with Korea
40:31it's a national trauma
40:33and in the general disaster
40:35also Meroni
40:36he has something to complain about
40:37he doesn't understand
40:38How come
40:38they made him play
40:39he who is of slim physique
40:41against the Soviet giants
40:42and instead
40:43he stayed out
40:44with the Koreans
40:45lighter
40:45and easier
40:46to dribble
40:47Italy
40:48is eliminated
40:49from the eighth edition
40:51of the Cup
40:52Rimet
40:52let's go back home
40:54upon returning to Italy
40:56the fans protest
40:58the blues
40:58but together with the commissioner
41:00technician Fabri
41:00the most targeted
41:02incomprehensibly
41:03it's just
41:04Gigi Meroni
41:05when we came back
41:07from the trip
41:08with Korea
41:09which was
41:10mandate
41:11to the massacre
41:12him
41:12he had his
41:13balilla
41:14who was waiting for him
41:15at the airport
41:15it was said
41:17to whom
41:18he brought him
41:19the machine
41:19to go
41:20at one entrance
41:21Where
41:22there was only him
41:23and all the others
41:24on the other side
41:25Therefore
41:26the next day
41:27he told me about it
41:28of all colors
41:28it was the first
41:29and the only one
41:30Perhaps
41:31to pay
41:32the defeat
41:33with Korea
41:34even if he didn't play
41:35against Korea
41:36Here you are
41:36of the national one
41:38in the end
41:39who was made was
41:40it was
41:40Gigi Meroni
41:41Meaning what
41:42what
41:44on the market
41:45it was worth more
41:52at the start
41:53of the championship
41:5466-67
41:55in spite of
41:55of the world championships
41:56gone bad
41:57the market value
41:58by Meroni
41:58it still rises
41:59even as a player
42:00Meroni is maturing
42:01is becoming
42:02more concrete
42:03his goals
42:04are on the rise
42:05in the first championship
42:07to Turin
42:07he scored 5
42:08then 7
42:08in the latter
42:099
42:10becoming
42:10the top scorer
42:11Grenade
42:13Gigi
42:13keep playing
42:14to another game
42:15as he did as a child
42:17but now
42:17he also takes penalties
42:19that he never liked
42:20Why
42:20too easy
42:21and when he scores
42:22does not fail to console
42:24the goalkeeper
42:29March 12th
42:311967
42:32at San Siro
42:33it's played
42:33Inter Turin
42:34I'm on the bench
42:35Elenio Herrera
42:36and Nereo Rocco
42:37the two great rivals
42:38in this match
42:39that one is coming
42:39that everyone considers
42:41his most beautiful goal
42:42the most beautiful goal
42:43undoubtedly it was that
42:44against Inter
42:45in 1967
42:47that in the end
42:48it cost the championship
42:49at Inter
42:50and it cost us the championship
42:58Packages
42:59he was suffering
43:01Always
43:02against Merone
43:03he has always suffered
43:04all matches
43:05he never took it
43:06because he never took it
43:08Why
43:08he had long levers
43:10now that he was turning
43:11that other one
43:12he had already gone
43:30he stretches
43:30bundles
43:31peaks
43:32tailors
43:32there is the greatest defense
43:33of the world
43:34a lob
43:35which seemed
43:37should go right out
43:38then he comes back
43:39and go
43:39at the intersection of the poles
43:40pulled naturally
43:41should be reviewed
43:42many times
43:43but I
43:44I called him
43:45to compliment
43:46because he scored a great goal
43:48starting from the right
43:49dribbling
43:49seeing the goalkeeper out
43:50round ball
43:51that is, the goals he knew how to score
43:53he embroidered the goals
43:59it's a fantastic goal
44:01of those who enter fully
44:03in the history of football
44:05Meroni though
44:06it seems done
44:07to create controversy
44:09like when the lawyer Agnelli
44:10great football expert
44:12and footballers
44:13he wants it
44:14he wants it at all costs
44:15in his Juventus
44:16and to have it
44:16he is willing
44:17to shell out the sum
44:19record
44:20of 750 million
44:22of lire
44:23of then
44:23but the Toro fans
44:25naturally
44:26they can't stand the idea
44:27and as it had already happened
44:28also in Genoa
44:29this time too
44:30people take to the streets
44:32to prevent Meroni
44:34you go to the black and whites
44:36there had been demonstrations
44:38even in Turin
44:39under Gianni Agnelli's house
44:42in Corso Materotti
44:44with red flags
44:45and it was the first time
44:47that in Turin
44:48the red flags were visible
44:49they were in 67
44:50and they were against
44:52Meroni's accession
44:54to Juventus
44:56they were the garnet flags
44:57no grenade
44:59red
45:00there's always that
45:01misunderstanding
45:03but
45:04I think
45:05of having talked about it
45:06with the person
45:06more interesting
45:07and interested
45:09at a certain point
45:10This
45:10with Gianni Agnelli
45:11No
45:11he told me
45:12who wanted it
45:13Meroni
45:13he wasn't taken
45:14I understand
45:15that the wrist
45:15of the city
45:16he started recording
45:18very high frequency
45:19the city that matters
45:20my city
45:21the city of garnet
45:22of which Gianni Agnelli
45:23he was very respectful
45:24Here you are
45:26also quite friendly
45:28it was in the minds
45:29if he wanted to do it
45:30he did it
45:31this also needs to be clarified
45:32Gianni Agnelli
45:34he was a supplier of his
45:35the president of Turin
45:36but he didn't do it
45:38when Rocco
45:39returns to Milan
45:40to train Torino
45:41in the season
45:4267-68
45:43Fabri arrives
45:44for Gigi
45:44it's like a joke
45:45of destiny
45:46the two never loved each other
45:47but as good professionals
45:49they try to live together
45:50Then
45:51when he went to Turin
45:53At that time
45:54Fabri
45:55he tried to
45:58to captivate
45:59friendship
45:59by Gigi
46:01in private life
46:03things seem to be improving
46:04Cristiana got
46:05the cancellation
46:06of his previous marriage
46:07at the beginning of the championship
46:09Meroni
46:09takes on two commitments
46:10with himself
46:11to reconquer
46:11the blue jersey
46:12and start saving
46:13because soon
46:14he wants to get married
46:15October 15, 1967
46:18it's the day of
46:19Turin-Sampdoria
46:20next to Meroni
46:22he has been playing for a year
46:22Nestor Convin
46:23a centre forward
46:24dumped by Juventus
46:25and Varese
46:26it soon became
46:27his friend
46:27Meroni praises him
46:29with its brushstrokes
46:30and Convin lives
46:31a second
46:32youth football
46:33but this
46:34it's a haunted day
46:36it's the day when
46:38an extraordinary existence
46:39like Meroni's
46:40find an end
46:41out of the ordinary
46:43Meroni's story
46:45it's a story where
46:46poetry and tragedy
46:47they mix
46:48in a way
46:50unimaginable
46:51and its end
46:52it's a tragedy
46:54Where
46:54it's not a
46:56normal accident
46:57by car
46:58it was a night
46:59rainy
47:01we were together
47:02we were together
47:03And
47:04Fabio brought them
47:05in retreat

47:08he let them come home
47:09so he went
47:10in retreat
47:11he didn't take the keys
47:12insisting

47:34but it has no keys
47:35and to call Cristiana
47:36they go to the bar across the street
47:39so as not to return
47:41at the crossroads
47:42we have decided
47:43to pass by
47:43the road
47:45that is, the avenue
47:48in the middle of
47:50you can see that he
47:51it was half a meter
47:52further back
47:53about me
47:55and arrived
47:56I didn't notice
47:57not at all
47:58and arrived
47:58this machine
47:59from behind
47:59he took me to me
48:00in the calf
48:01and I fell
48:02when I recovered
48:03I started
48:05to see me around
48:06to call him
48:08and I saw it
48:09on the ground
48:10the machine
48:11it was a spear
48:12Flavia
48:13and it was driven
48:15from a boy
48:15young
48:16which was called
48:17Romero Linden
48:18Meroni was in the middle
48:19to the street
48:20he sees a car
48:20that comes to him
48:21in the opposite direction
48:23he gets scared
48:23takes a step back
48:25I'll pass by
48:26I touch it
48:27then I touch it up
48:27in another car
48:28a destiny
48:29very special
48:30that he puts it
48:31under
48:32a boy
48:33which he carried
48:34the hair
48:34like him
48:35to imitate him
48:36a fan
48:36by Meroni
48:37which will become
48:37president of Turin
48:39to the fact that then
48:40both the father
48:41of this boy
48:42that seeks
48:43to save him
48:45in the hospital
48:46where it is brought
48:47you know what the fact is
48:48that I
48:48a little bit
48:49I looked like Gigi
48:49and so every now and then
48:51the match
48:51when we went out
48:52from the stadium
48:52I went to the stands
48:53at the municipal
48:54I was going out maybe
48:55in the car
48:55with friends
48:56and they stopped me
48:57of the fans
48:57leaving the stadium
48:58and they thought
48:58that I were Meroni
49:00postmasters
49:00me of course
49:01I signed Meroni
49:01I was happy
49:02to be able to do it
49:03I was proud
49:03for which
49:04I was then
49:04identified
49:04in the part
49:05by Gigi
49:05but I loved it
49:12I was very far away
49:13when I started
49:14to say
49:14him
49:14he has it for me
49:14something happened
49:15him
49:15Indeed
49:16I arrived
49:17and they didn't have it
49:18still recognized
49:19he had cut himself
49:20the beard
49:21he had cut himself
49:22the beard
49:22that's why I was saying
49:23but it looks like Meroni
49:25Indeed
49:25we brought it
49:26we got it
49:27we brought it
49:28to the hospital
49:28thinking he was alive
49:30because we felt
49:30heart beat
49:33I am a medical student
49:35to the hospital
49:36Mauritian
49:37Meroni
49:38I arrive
49:39to the emergency room
49:41of the hospital
49:41Mauritian
49:42she imagines
49:43a scene
49:44in front of
49:44at the door
49:45of the emergency room
49:46where there will be
49:47state
49:48everyone
49:49nurses
49:50doctors
49:51internal students
49:52everyone
49:53conists
49:54journalists
49:55everyone
49:55in front of this door
49:57so much so that it is true
49:58that came out
49:59the nurse
50:00and he said
50:01this phase here
50:03it is not known
50:04if he lives
50:05but if he lives
50:06will no longer be able to
50:07play it
50:09Cristiana was next to me
50:10Cristiana and I
50:11President Pianelli
50:12and the doctor came out
50:15he spread his arms
50:16and Cristiana's scream
50:17I still feel it now
50:19I swear
50:19but I never heard from you again
50:20a scream
50:21of this violence
50:22of this irreparability
50:25Here you are
50:25a scream
50:25that I didn't know how to write
50:31then everyone arrived
50:33they all arrived
50:33teammates
50:34with BIN
50:35with BIN
50:38out of his mind
50:43it all came down to that
50:51I go
50:51I remember
50:52to the hospital
50:54Mauritian
50:55as a child
50:55together with others
50:56and we enter
50:57then in the morgue
50:59so a child
51:00who enters a morgue
51:01at night
51:02in the midst of chaos
51:03a dramatic situation
51:05the discovery
51:05of death
51:07Unfortunately
51:08maybe taken
51:09from the emotion
51:10I kept watch
51:11another
51:11Meaning what
51:12we were
51:12inside a room
51:13that wasn't that
51:15by Gigi Meroni
51:15but that was it
51:16of another
51:17poor thing
51:17who had disappeared
51:18a few hours ago
51:19and then
51:20when then
51:22subsequently
51:22they pointed me out
51:24the room
51:25where he had been
51:27Like this
51:28compound
51:29Gigi Meroni
51:30it was too late
51:31because it had been closed
51:32or there was as if to say
51:33a crowd
51:35of journalists
51:35and more
51:36Therefore
51:36a beginning
51:37Surely
51:38very traumatic
51:39and for me
51:39did not represent
51:40nothing but
51:41the first big one
51:42suffering
51:44of my life
51:45and that's it
51:46which brought me
51:47to become
51:48Torino fan
51:49for whom
51:49I'm cheering for the bull
51:50Anyway
51:50the tragedy
51:52is part of
51:52of his
51:54DNA
51:55it's not at all
51:56a mechanical rite
51:57the fact of going
51:58in Superga
51:58or to go
51:59in Corso Rumberto
52:01where there is the boundary stone
52:01that reminds
52:02the death of Gigi Meroni
52:03it's a thing
52:05which is part
52:06of being
52:08grenade
52:09the pain
52:10leaving
52:10and the meaning
52:11of humor
52:11After
52:12the meaning
52:13of humor
52:13in turn
52:14maybe it's born
52:14from philosophy
52:16endurance
52:16of pain
52:17what is called
52:18Superga
52:19Meroni
52:19Ferrini
52:19dead of
52:20Ittus
52:21young
52:21what is called
52:23destiny
52:24to have Juventus
52:25nearby
52:25which is a form
52:26of persecution
52:27of fate
52:28this one too
52:30a death
52:32tragic
52:33Gigi Meroni's
52:34that leaves
52:34the city
52:35astonished
52:36the body
52:37by Meroni
52:37it is composed
52:39at the Turin headquarters
52:40to watch over him
52:41they are the companions
52:42but all day long
52:43and all night
52:44thousands of fans
52:46they challenge in front
52:47to the coffin
52:48he is not dead
52:49just a footballer
52:50is dead
52:51a champion
52:52an artist
52:53of the ball
52:54Nereo Rocco
52:55the great coach
52:56had predicted
52:57that at 25 years old
52:59Meroni
53:00would have become
53:01a player
53:02complete
53:03but at 25 years old
53:05Meroni
53:05he didn't get there
53:06the boy
53:08that for life
53:09public opinion is divided
53:10leads to his funeral
53:11thousands of people
53:12Gianni Brera
53:14that of Meroni
53:14soccer player
53:15he is not a great admirer
53:16in his greeting
53:17he writes
53:18you were young
53:20and pure enough
53:21so as not to forget you
53:22never to be true
53:23not even in the oddities
53:25I remember
53:26animalistic pain
53:28Almost
53:28by Néstor Comben
53:29Argentine franc
53:31that had arrived
53:32to Turin
53:32recently
53:33but that
53:33had suffered
53:34the sublimity
53:36normal
53:37the normal sublimity
53:39friend
53:40of this boy
53:41different
53:41of this boy
53:42other
53:44Meroni
53:45he died
53:45Sunday evening
53:46the Sunday after
53:47there is the Debi
53:49No?
53:50and then
53:51you can imagine
53:53In short
53:54in essence
53:54anyway we
53:55we won
53:56against Juventus
53:58with three goals
53:59by Combin
54:01which was
54:03how can you say
54:04out
54:05by the grace of God
54:12Turin Juventus
54:13a derby
54:14that on paper
54:16it was all
54:17of the black and whites
54:18even taking into account
54:19of the psychological situation
54:20of Granada
54:20came cramorously
54:22overturned
54:23three goals
54:24by Nestor
54:25with Bino
54:25or with Ben
54:26for whoever pronounced it
54:27the French
54:28and three beautiful goals
54:30three possession goals
54:31three furious goals
54:32and then the fourth goal
54:33by a quarter to zero
54:34sleepy
54:34it was marked
54:36from whoever brought it
54:37that day
54:37the shirt
54:38by Meroni
54:38a young man
54:39of the Granata teams
54:40absurd
54:41as they used to say then
54:42to the honors
54:43of the first team
54:49I owe it to Meroni
54:50that derby
54:51because we owe it to him
54:52all of us Granata
54:58there is this legend
55:00which concerns
55:02the fact that the Bull
55:03wins
55:03or at least draw
55:05every game
55:05who plays
55:06in the day
55:07of the anniversary
55:08of the disappearance
55:08by Gigi Meroni
55:09but more than a legend
55:11it's a statistic
55:12so all of us
55:13we hope
55:14let it continue like this
55:15the tradition
55:16these are coincidences
55:18that carry
55:19to think
55:20to Gigi Meroni
55:22as to a young man
55:24hero
55:26Homeric
55:27if Homer
55:28had known
55:28football
