Ci sono campioni senza tempo, che rimangono impressi nella mente di tutti, perché non sono soltanto abilissimi atleti, ma soprattutto sono grandi uomini. Gigi Riva è uno di questi. "Sfide" ripercorre la carriera di questo grande atleta, dal carattere schivo e riservato. Dall'infanzia difficile, segnata dalla perdita dei due genitori in tenera età, fino all'arrivo in Sardegna, dove troverà quella famiglia che il destino gli ha negato e costruirà col Cagliari le sue fortune di calciatore. Ma Riva è anche un eroe italiano: detiene ancora oggi il record dei 35 gol segnati con la Nazionale e i tifosi azzurri, anche grazie a lui, hanno vissuto una delle più emozionanti sfide che il calcio ricordi, quell'Italia-Germania 4 a 3 ai Mondiali del Messico 1970.

00:11Thank you all
00:40Mine is the story of a man who was all in all lucky because he dreamed of becoming
00:52good at a game that later became a job.
01:06But honestly, I would gladly sacrifice many things of this kind, of this kind.
01:12to correct my childhood a little.
01:18If this story were a fairy tale, it would begin like this.
01:23Once upon a time there was a knight without blemish or fear.
01:26Yes, because Luigi Riva from Leggiuno resembles one of those ancient knights, with his look
01:32noble and a soul full of courage.
01:35Even the nickname by which he went down in history seems to be that of a valiant warrior.
01:41Tuomo's rhombus.
01:49On the pitch he was feared by everyone, for the power of his shot, the strength of his body and for his
01:55proverbial audacity.
02:02A man from the northern valleys, who after losing both his parents, found his land far away from
02:08where he grew up.
02:09On a wild, harsh and solitary island, just like its character, Sardinia.
02:17A man who loved a small team, rejecting the siren calls of big clubs.
02:22A choice that seems impossible today.
02:26Maybe because everything can be bought, everything for a price, except Gigi Riva.
02:32One day I said enough, everyone said you'll see he'll come back, you'll see he'll come back, we're still waiting for us now.
02:42I had practically never left the province of Varese.
02:46I found myself moving to Cagliari, at first I thought it was a joke, something.
02:51There was talk of a transfer, they talked about Turin, they talked about Varese, they talked about Milan.
02:56In Cagliari I was almost scared.
03:02Thin and disoriented, a boy not yet twenty years old landed in Sardinia in the summer of '63.
03:08He's a young footballer, but he looks like a castaway on a desert island.
03:16In those years, Sardinia was not yet the most sought-after destination for billionaires.
03:20In place of Ville Jot there are sheep pastures and fishing boats.
03:25And then that island seems far away, as far away as Africa.
03:30I remember telling my sister who accompanied me and my coach
03:35from a hotel window, it was evening, it was night.
03:40I could see some lights in the gulf and I told my coach who kicked me in the ass.
03:49He told me, that must be Africa, he kicked me in the ass.
03:55He told me, don't tell anyone if you don't.
04:03Only one thing is the same in Cagliari as in Leggiuno.
04:06The ball.
04:08Round and perfect.
04:09The first thing to socialize with.
04:14And it is the ball that will slowly build a bond between the shore and the island.
04:20What I thought the first time I went to Cagliari was that I definitely wouldn't stay there.
04:27When I went to see the field there wasn't a blade of grass, it was a desert.
04:32But it's football, the passion, the desire, your teammates.
04:48Then he arrives and decides to stay.
04:50He opens his suitcase, takes out his things, his goals.
04:54And with those Cagliari starts to win.
04:58We had the championship.
04:59We had the Serie B championship and then came the allure of Serie A.
05:04Then I started to get a little more interested in it.
05:09Now Sardinia is no longer that distant land that scares.
05:12It's the island that brought him to Serie A.
05:15Even though Gigi is still a shy and naive boy.
05:19In the first home match, against Sardinia, a shot from the edge of the area.
05:29So much so that he started celebrating so much that they equalized after 30 seconds.
05:43The young Riva is made of pure instinct.
05:45It's easy for him to score as if he sees the goal as bigger than the others.
05:53This is why his coach Silvestri decides to change his role.
05:57Give the left to the center of attack.
06:00Riva accepts the challenge and begins training without a moment's hesitation.
06:06I went to camp half an hour before the others and finished half an hour after the others.
06:11The only thing I liked was kicking.
06:14When the others entered the locker room, he would stop me, stop, put the ball in the goal and start again.
06:20As long as it was dark, Gigi I can't see anymore, it doesn't matter, I still play football.
06:25He liked the plant, he played the victim but he liked it too.
06:31I wasn't even used to these things, I was like, oh my god, this one's killing me.
06:44Shot after shot, day after day, what will become begins to take shape
06:49the most devastating goal machine that Italian football has ever known.
06:56He'd leave you two crossings away, arrive from the edge of the air and let you go
07:01cannon shots that the goalkeeper couldn't do anything about.
07:05There was a bubba, it was a little cannon, when it shot it seemed like it was going to go away
07:16with a culverin, right?
07:17To sadden this ball.
07:29His left leg bends backwards and then straightens out, unleashing a power
07:34mysterious.
07:36His shot can reach 120 kilometers per hour, a terror for all goalkeepers.
07:42The key to this ball is so strong, with this left foot.
07:47I've seen very few of them, huh?
07:53Thanks to his amazing shot, Riva starts scoring one goal after another.
07:5820 in the first two years of Serie A.
08:0118 in the 66-66 season alone.
08:06Goals that earned him the title of top scorer.
08:13What does the goal mean to you?
08:16The goal is what makes the week go well, it's what motivates you, what boosts your morale.
08:24This is a very important thing for the front man.
08:37The team was counting on me and so it was nice for me but above all it was also nice for my family.
08:41companions
08:42when they came to hug you, to tell you well done, those are beautiful things you experience.
08:54The goal, always and only the goal in the head.
08:57First an obsession, then a liberation, and then an emotion that keeps you going.
09:11When Riva scored, he kept his fists pressed towards the ground.
09:22With arms stretched out towards the earth.
09:29Because he didn't dedicate the goal to anyone.
09:32He dedicated the goal to himself and that was it.
09:34He wanted to tell me that you are fulfilling yourself in life despite everything,
09:40in short, despite the problems I had to overcome.
09:49Anger and a difficult childhood were sublimated in the enchantment of the goal.
09:54Luigi Riva from Leggiuno, the shy boy who came from the northern valleys,
09:59he is now the standard bearer of a small provincial team,
10:02capable of competing with the great football powers of Milan and Turin.
10:08And in Sardinia Riva finds what he had lost.
10:15A significant fulcrum has been created within me.
10:20There was the fisherman who, because he had scored a goal, would take you to his house,
10:25he made you eat with his children,
10:27he treated you like a relative.
10:31And there, little by little, I realized that I was leaning again
10:36to a region, a city,
10:39which was practically giving me a second family.
10:50He's a handsome boy, but he's interested in young ladies,
10:52to us, it doesn't matter to us.
10:55But is he a handsome boy?
10:56A handsome boy, for you, is enough, I'd say.
10:58He's the best in the world.
11:01No one can replace him, absolutely no one.
11:04The best, the best, the best with light in the world.
11:08Of all time, of all time.
11:17For the Sardinians, Gigi Riva is the undisputed idol,
11:20a holy card to always carry with you.
11:26But soon, that silent hero,
11:29as beautiful as a Greek god,
11:31it will have to be shared with all Italians.
11:34Riva, in fact, has earned himself a starting place in the national team as well.
11:42The blue jersey is something that sticks to the skin.
11:47When an athlete participates in the Olympics,
11:52at events of this kind,
11:56you put on a shirt that never comes off your skin.
12:01Because it stays with you for life.
12:11I'm speaking to you from Policlinic Italia
12:12and we are in the company of the unfortunate centre forward
12:15of our national team, of Riva,
12:17who got injured today during Italy-Portugal.
12:21It was a ball given to me by Mazzola,
12:23I kicked on the fly,
12:25the doorman came out to meet me,
12:26unfortunately my girlfriend crossed my path.
12:33His debut as a starter in the national team,
12:36Gigi Riva finishes him off lying on a stretcher,
12:38which takes him far from his dreams of scoring goals for the Azzurri.
12:42By kicking, the knee bone is knocked
12:45against the lower part of the fibula,
12:49it fractured and we went out there too.
12:52It was nothing serious.
12:56The fracture actually cost him three months off the pitch
13:01and puts his participation at risk
13:03at the most important football event of 68,
13:06the European Championship.
13:09To the Europeans,
13:11Gigi called me anyway,
13:13knowing that I couldn't play
13:14in the first, in the second game,
13:17or maybe the second game.
13:21The final phase of the European Championship is being played in Italy.
13:24Four teams are competing for the title.
13:26Italy, England, Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union.
13:32In the semi-final, Italy faces the Soviet team
13:35and only gets through to the next round with the help of Lady Luck.
13:39In fact, after having held on 0-0
13:42until extra time,
13:43it's the toss with a coin
13:45to give victory to Italy.
13:57Well, Facchetti then when he left
13:59we understood that the face he had chosen
14:04it was the right one.
14:08Three days later, Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
14:12It's time for the final.
14:14Riva sits back on the bench.
14:16His time will come soon, but not now.
14:19The opponent to beat is Dragan Zajic's Yugoslavia.
14:24The Slavs were considered the Brazilians of Europe.
14:27Yugoslavia proves to be a fearsome team
14:30and Zajic a diabolical left winger.
14:34He is the one who immediately punishes the Azzurri defense.
14:37Zajic, great player.
14:40Italy is unable to react
14:42and continues to suffer attacks from opponents.
14:46But in the 79th,
14:48the Azzurri win a free kick on the edge of the box.
14:51If Riva were on the pitch,
14:52it would be up to him and his left foot.
14:57But Riva is not there
14:59and then, without much conviction,
15:01Dominghini tries.
15:03At that moment,
15:04when Guarnieri was there and he approached me,
15:06come on, shoot, he'll score goals.
15:08Well, I don't know.
15:21When no one expects it anymore,
15:23Italy is saved.
15:26The game ends one to one
15:28and, as per regulation,
15:29will be repeated two days later.
15:38The morning of the match,
15:41some royal family told me,
15:42today we can't make mistakes.
15:47And who doesn't want to make mistakes?
15:48needs Gigi Riva on the pitch.
15:51Now Valcareggi has understood it too,
15:53who decides to launch it
15:54in the starting lineup.
15:56Valcareggi asked me if he heard me,
15:58he told him I'll try,
16:01I'll go out there until I can.
16:04Mazzola!
16:05Mazzola!
16:08Shore!
16:12Riva doesn't seem worried at all
16:14from his physical problems.
16:16His only thought remains alone and always
16:18the goal.
16:19Domendini again.
16:21Domendini's shot.
16:22Shore!
16:23Shore!
16:23Priest!
16:27Priest of Riva!
16:29Italy 1,
16:30Vodosnavia 0.
16:33Rome like that evening
16:34I had never seen it.
16:37There too,
16:38also because it was from 38
16:39that we didn't say anything.
16:41Anastasi!
16:42Great network!
16:44Anastasi's goal!
16:45Anastasi's goal!
16:46Now the Olimpico is ready
16:48to light up
16:49in uncontainable joy.
16:51A joy held back
16:52for 30 years.
16:5330 years without success
16:55of the Italian national team.
16:58It was just
16:59the stadium
17:00the stadium
17:02of simplicity,
17:03of simplicity,
17:04of the party.
17:06I remember that everyone
17:07they had the newspaper
17:08that they rolled up
17:09and then
17:11they turned on
17:13and there was
17:14this torchlight procession
17:15of 70,000 people,
17:17one thing
17:19Pretty,
17:20gorgeous!
17:38an immense joy
17:40for Riva
17:40that after the triumph
17:41in Rome
17:42he's ready to come back
17:43in his Sardinia,
17:44in that Cagliari
17:45that's getting nice
17:46to amaze
17:47all of Italy.
18:07In the late 60s,
18:10a sudden craving
18:10of change,
18:11freedom
18:12and revolution
18:13it pours out
18:13in the streets.
18:22Gigi Riva
18:23he is the man
18:24which can lead
18:24that desire
18:25even inside
18:26the Amsicora
18:27at the stadium
18:27from Cagliari.
18:28It's the man
18:29that can arm
18:29those aspirations
18:30with his powerful shots
18:32that made him famous.
18:35Irrationality
18:36of football
18:37on the other hand
18:37it's ready
18:38to welcome
18:39any kind
18:39of utopia.
18:40If two months before
18:42Neil Armstrong
18:42he brought
18:43the man on the moon
18:44then Gigi Riva
18:46can bring
18:46Cagliari
18:47on the Olympus of football.
18:49Maybe us too
18:50we were convinced
18:52which was rare
18:54or difficult
18:55or impossible
18:56that the scudetto
18:57could come
18:58in Cagliari.
19:02But Gigi Riva
19:03to bring
19:04Cagliari
19:05on the moon
19:05he needs
19:06of a crew
19:07up to par

26:20against the opponent
26:21most feared by Riva

26:44Riva is nervous
26:46this time him too
26:47he is afraid of making mistakes
26:49but to give him strength
26:51Giuseppe Tomasini takes care of it
26:53the injured teammate
26:54the day of the race itself
26:56sends to Riva
26:57a special telegram
26:59and he sent me
27:00an important telegram
27:04very nice
27:05he was the most person
27:08which connected with me the most
27:10I knew that he
27:11he was sensitive in this
27:13then I sent it to her
27:14and he paid everyone back

27:34a man who from a distance
27:3640 years old
27:37still retains
27:38a touching modesty
27:39for his feelings
27:40of then
27:41was this written there?
27:42I didn't say it
27:44are we smoking?

28:41the pole
28:42of the door
28:43of Juventus
28:43but Cagliari
28:44in the 29th minute
28:45you have to bow
28:47to a perfect shot
28:48head
28:48of your own stopper
28:49like a burning Nicolai
28:51the player
28:52with a nose
28:52of the own goal
28:53Albertosi leaves
28:54that Nicolai
28:56mark
28:57the most classic
28:58of own goals
28:59Nicolai was
29:00my pet peeve
29:01he scored goals for me
29:02every year
29:03at least one self-portrait
29:04he did it to me
29:05but Nicolai
29:06he made few
29:07of own goals
29:07but all beautiful
29:08that is, he was
29:11he doesn't
29:12it was wasted
29:13the deviation
29:14once
29:15he dribbled
29:15our goalkeeper too
29:16to score goals
29:18the players
29:19they look at each other
29:20disoriented
29:21the attacks
29:22the anguish
29:22to lose
29:23in an instant
29:23all that
29:24that they built
29:25up to there
29:26just a man
29:27can drive away
29:28that fear
29:29and raise up
29:30the fates
29:30of the match
29:31Gigi Riva
29:32and Riva
29:33as always
29:34he doesn't betray
29:45Juventus and Cagliari
29:46they go to the break
29:47on 1-1
29:48the Sardinian players
29:50they seem calm
29:51also because
29:52none of them
29:53can imagine
29:54what will happen
29:55in the second half
29:59to take the chair
30:01it's a concept
30:02the handsome one
30:02the handsome one
30:04probably
30:05he wanted to do
30:06a little bit
30:07the center
30:08of attention
30:09grants
30:10a kick
30:11of penalty
30:12to Juventus
30:14a kick
30:16of penalty
30:16ridiculous
30:21Helmut Thaler
30:23takes a run-up
30:27pull
30:30Albertosi
30:32he saved it
30:34our goalkeeper
30:35he saved it
30:36and it is not known
30:36for what reason
30:37for what reason
30:38the referee
30:38he had it repeated
30:43my nerves gave out
30:45I got attached
30:47at the stake
30:48and it came to me
30:49to cry
30:50from anger
30:50from the nervous
30:51on the disk
30:52this time
30:53he introduces himself
30:54Peter Anastasi
30:54and he doesn't make mistakes
30:562-1
30:57for Juventus
30:58to the people of Cagliari
30:59nerves are on edge
31:00I'll tell you clearly
31:01I went
31:02from paintings to lines
31:03what a poor thing
31:04between relatives
31:05it had nothing to do with it
31:05because it was all
31:06the semneggiata
31:07the handsome one
31:08and I told him
31:09go to hell
31:09you and him
31:10I remember
31:11you said
31:12tell me what I have to tell you
31:13to get me kicked out

31:18I think about playing
31:20I never said that
31:21publicly
31:23the referee calls me
31:26and it makes me
31:31there was
31:35long on Gigi
31:39Gigi
31:40the referee continued
31:42to say
31:44it went into the air
31:45it went into the air
31:47and then
31:49there was a foul
31:51in the air
31:51penalty on me
31:52there was a penalty
31:53us too
31:56penalty
31:58obviously Riva takes it
31:59the best penalty taker
32:00of Cagliari
32:02the best penalty taker
32:03that's what
32:04he scores 8 out of 10 penalties
32:09but if you have
32:10those two penalties
32:11that you are wrong
32:12and you're wrong
32:12exactly that
32:13of the match
32:15most important
32:18it would have been
32:19a big boy
32:19the amount of Riva
32:22shot
32:22shot
32:23he started me
32:24the moment on the net
32:31two by two
32:33the handsome one

32:39I made him repeat it
32:45Cagliari
32:46take a breath
32:47of relief
32:47he's still alone
32:48in command
32:49of the ranking
32:49but still
32:50it's not over
32:52Scopigno
32:52which played down the situation
32:53All

34:16to conquer it
34:16no never
34:17last year
34:18Yes
34:18this year

34:20our
34:21great man
34:23Scopinio
34:25the tears
34:26to the eyes
34:26and then
34:30I said
34:31Well
34:32he's there too
34:33aspects
34:33he lives too
34:35this big one
34:35this big one

34:37and for the first time
34:37time
34:38in history
34:39of football
34:39Italian
34:40he won
34:41an island
34:41this island
34:42and the wonderful
34:43Sardinia
34:51together with Cagliari
34:52all of Sardinia
34:53it's a party
34:54with his goals
34:55Riva gave away
34:56a ransom bid
34:57to an entire people
34:58for the first time
35:00it's a team from the south
35:01to win the championship
35:02it's an authentic
35:03revolution
35:04Riva is the symbol
35:06the dragger
35:07and the chief gunner
35:10and everyone is ready
35:11to support it
35:12in the championship
35:13of the world
35:13which will be held
35:14in June
35:14in Mexico
35:15because if Brazil
35:17it's Pelé
35:17Italy
35:18to Gigi Riva
35:19it's the best
35:21player
35:21of the world
35:22better than Pelé
35:23better than Pelé
35:24he is the strongest
35:44when the Italian national team
35:46European champion
35:47in charge
35:48lands in Mexico
35:49for the World Cup
35:49of 1970
35:50all the attention
35:52I'm for Gigi Riva
35:54yes, yes, yes

36:12in Mexico City
36:13the championship begins
36:14of the world
36:22in the first games
36:24but
36:24Shore
36:25it doesn't appear
36:25in great shape
36:27the muscles
36:28which usually
36:29they release
36:29his legendary shot
36:30they seem empty
36:31of oxygen
36:32maybe because it's played
36:33at 2500 meters
36:35of altitude
36:39you had the heart
36:40in the temples
36:41sometimes you felt
36:43the pulsations
36:44own
36:46then you were looking for
36:47air
36:47you were trying to catch your breath
36:48when you see it
36:50folded in two
36:51looking for breath
36:55you felt it
36:56there was no need at all
36:58that he told me
36:59Gigi
37:05despite it all
37:06Italy
37:07with two draws
37:08and a victory
37:08skimpy
37:09about Sweden
37:10he goes through to the next round
37:13and quarter-finals
37:15Mexico awaits him
37:16landlord
37:18Mexico
37:19he played a good game
37:21but
37:21as players
37:24us maybe
37:25we were
37:25On the contrary
37:26without perhaps
37:27we were
37:27superiors
37:33in the first half
37:35a lucky shot
37:36by Domenchini
37:38and there is
37:39the draw
37:40by Domenchini
37:44and then
37:45finally
37:46in the second half
37:47Shore
37:47find your breath
37:48to run
37:48Pull
37:51and to rejoice
37:57I remember
37:57because it was a bit
37:58a liberation
38:00Riva scores two goals
38:02and Italy
38:02wins 4 to 1
38:05the blues
38:06they qualify
38:06for the semifinal

38:12they don't know it yet
38:13but they are
38:13to enter
38:14in history
38:20I'm proud
38:21of having participated
38:23to that one
38:24which has been defined

38:56defensive game
38:57the team
38:58by Ferruccio Valcarigi
38:59strenuously preserves
39:00the advantage
39:01until
39:02at 92
39:02we forget
39:04of a player
39:07who played for Milan
39:08and it was called
39:09Snellinger
39:09that advancing
39:11from the rear
39:11locco locco
39:12shut up
39:13he introduced himself
39:15a few meters away
39:16from Albertosi
39:18Grabovski
39:19is able to carry out
39:20the crosses
39:22and it's a draw
39:23by Snellinger
39:24he found himself there
39:26with this ball
39:27on the plate
39:27he put it in
39:28in two minutes
39:30two minutes
39:31beyond
39:32regulation time
39:34as if it were

39:35for us
39:36Why
39:37we were already thinking
39:38to be in the shower
39:39with a victory
39:40Instead

39:43one by one
39:44at the end
39:45of regular time
39:47then we resumed

39:48extra time
39:49there was immediately
39:50the advantage
39:51of Germany
40:05and there you could
40:06to collapse
40:07Instead
40:07the goal of
40:08Bugnic
40:09That
40:11he never scored
40:13he scored
40:14right at the moment

44:02so beautiful
44:03to turn on
44:04the imagination
44:04of a journalist

44:07that the next day
44:08will write
44:08in his newspaper
44:09Cagliari

44:12and humiliated
44:13Inter at San Siro

44:36but these goals
44:37they are so beautiful
44:38that we will tell you about
44:40in the first
44:41he launches a left-handed shot
44:43elusive
44:43on a free kick
44:47in the second
44:48condensa
44:49all his football
44:50first the shot
44:52like lightning
44:52Then
44:53the powerful shot
44:54like thunder
45:00This
45:01it's Gigi Riva
45:02the hero of the stadiums
45:03that the imagination of Brera
45:04transform
45:05in a deity
45:06mighty
45:06and threatening
45:07Thunderclap
45:09the thing
45:10of Thunderclap
45:11it's a thing
45:11that I like
45:12I like
45:13my kids like it
45:14I find it
45:15one thing
45:16exceptional
45:17that is, exceptional
45:18Pretty
45:19Pretty
45:20because it says
45:20from a journalist
45:21exceptional
45:23only five days
45:25after the match
45:26with Inter
45:26Shore
45:27he is on the field
45:27with the shirt
45:28blue
45:30Italy is playing
45:32Austria
45:35Nobody
45:35it seems to be able to
45:36stop
45:36Thunderclap
45:43Nobody
45:43except for
45:44the Austrian
45:44off
45:45gone down in history
45:46like the executioner
45:47of the prairie
45:49I was carrying on
45:51a ball
45:51at a certain point
45:52I heard something
45:53from behind
45:54and I fell
45:55in the opposite direction
45:57to body weight
45:58and so it's clear
46:00that the foot
46:00he made a twist
46:10and I understood
46:12immediately
46:12which was
46:13one thing
46:16Enough
46:19hard
46:20I approached
46:21I was
46:22maybe one
46:22of the first
46:23and I saw
46:24that from the soccer
46:25of the foot
46:26he was going out
46:27the bone
46:27from the tibia
46:33then there
46:34Truly
46:34I put myself
46:35the hands
46:35in the face
46:36knowing that
46:38if he fractured it
46:39tibia and fibula
46:46for me
46:47it seemed
46:48a bad dream
46:53or you were looking for

47:05Gigi Riva
47:06suddenly
47:07he finds himself
47:08distant
47:08from football
47:11a torture
47:12for a child
47:13grown up
