00:02:14209 games with Lazio, 98 goals, top scorer in 1974
00:02:23a three-year national team regular and a New York Cosmos striker alongside the great Pelé
00:02:30This was Giorgio Chinaglia, but he was also a fugitive, wanted on charges of money laundering.
00:02:38of the Camorra
00:02:39He was convicted of bribery and served two years in prison with a suspended sentence for fraudulent bankruptcy and forgery.
00:02:47in the budget
00:02:48But to understand who Giorgio Chinaglia really was, his track record and criminal record are not enough.
00:02:55We need to go back 40 years and tell a story of a group of boys who played in a small
00:03:01squad
00:03:02But still a piratical, exhilarating and painful story, the story of Lazio in the 70s
00:03:14Savages, Teppa, Marmagna, that's what a right-thinking person of the time would have called them.
00:03:19In fact they were not saints
00:03:27Some proudly proclaimed themselves fascists and went around armed in the mid-70s
00:03:32They weren't great friends, in fact sometimes they hated each other.
00:03:37Alone they probably wouldn't have become famous
00:03:42But led by a good, generous, brilliant man, they reached the top and made the team great.
00:03:49From here, from the moment Chinaglia becomes part of that Lazio, his story begins
00:04:04Those who love him call him like the pirate from Treasure Island, Long Johnny.
00:04:09Because he is tall, big, quarrelsome, impulsive
00:04:12He has a lot of strength and he likes to use it
00:04:17Those who wish him ill call him the hunchback.
00:04:19For that rugby player pose with his head sunk into his shoulders
00:04:22What is certain is that Giorgio Pinaglia has not gone unnoticed since the beginning
00:04:27When I saw him coming with a bowler hat, with a green raincoat
00:04:31With a pair of red pants, this is not normal
00:04:35Then you also open a boutique
00:04:37Which he called Long John, the bald one
00:04:39Where we went and never bought anything
00:04:42Because we didn't like anything
00:04:50It will be the size of a bulldozer
00:04:51It will be the bizarre clothes
00:04:53It's probably because he scores tons of goals.
00:04:55But Serie B can only be too small for someone like that.
00:05:04Yet it is there that Giorgio Chinaglia finds himself playing with Lazio in 1971
00:05:11Prodiposi also inspires Chinaglia to bring Lazio back to Serie A
00:05:13He feels the weight of this responsibility on the pitch
00:05:18Yes, I can hear it, but so can my other ten classmates.
00:05:25In Serie B, a tank like Chinaglia
00:05:27He looks like the giant Gulliver among the Lilliputians
00:05:30Lazio's number 9 always scores
00:05:36Chinaglia is a player who has already expressed a lot up to now
00:05:39But he still has considerable means
00:05:42Which he has not yet been able to exploit
00:05:47Luckily for everyone
00:05:48Chinaglia learns to make the most of his resources
00:05:52At the end of the championship, 21 goals will bring Lazio back to Serie A
00:06:0321 goals that opened the doors to the national team for him
00:06:07It's the first time that a Serie B player has been called to wear the blue shirt
00:06:13In short, whoever arrives at Lazio knows that it is Chinaglia's team
00:06:17But it is also the team of the only coach who knows how to bring out the best in him.
00:06:22A wise and generous coach
00:06:25Thomas Maestrelli
00:06:26At the start of the new season, back in Serie A
00:06:29Maestrelli and President Lenzini completely renew the team
00:06:34But they certainly can't afford champions acclaimed by the crowds.
00:06:38So around Chinaglia there is a group of players who have not won anything so far
00:06:42Players who come from small provincial teams
00:06:52And instead, assembled by the expert hands of Maestrelli
00:06:56And dragged by the fury of Giorgio Chinaglia
00:06:58That team, which looks like a ragtag army
00:07:01He surprisingly becomes the revelation of the 72-73 championship
00:07:12November 19, 1972
00:07:15A stunning goal from Chinaglia
00:07:16He paves the way for victory against Palermo
00:07:28Lazio is alone at the top of the table
00:07:31This is the second time this has happened in 70 years of history.
00:07:38We thus arrive at May 14, 1973
00:07:41On the last fateful day of the championship
00:07:45Before the teams enter the field
00:07:48This is what the ranking says
00:07:49Milan, 44 points
00:07:51Juventus and Lazio, 43 points
00:07:54Lazio, newly promoted to Serie A
00:07:57It is therefore still in the running to win the first championship in its history
00:08:05Milan plays in Verona
00:08:07Against a team that has nothing left to ask of the championship
00:08:10Juventus must face Roma
00:08:12Which of course has no interest whatsoever
00:08:15To try hard to do favors for the white and blue cousins
00:08:19Lazio, on the other hand, is waiting at the pass
00:08:21Why he has to play against Napoli
00:08:25In the first leg Chinaglia came to blows
00:08:27With the opposing defenders
00:08:29The Neapolitans have taken note of it
00:08:31And they have no desire to do favors or discounts
00:08:34Indeed, the whole atmosphere was heated that day in San Paolo.
00:08:42Us before the match
00:08:43We couldn't get off the bus
00:08:46Why was there this can throwing?
00:08:48Full towards us
00:08:52The driver took a bottle of water in his ear and had to go back to get a sting.
00:08:59In such a climate, Chinaglia's reaction was not long in coming.
00:09:04Giorgio punched a worker
00:09:09He is also a relative of the youth sector manager of Napoli.
00:09:14So all the conditions were created for that match to be played by one side
00:09:21With an incredible belief
00:09:27In fact, in Naples, Chinaglia's gang clashes with a really tough nut to crack.
00:09:31And he can't get beyond 0-0
00:09:36Yet, to everyone's surprise, at the end of the first half the results on the other pitches were all in favour of Lazio.
00:09:44Both Milan and Juventus are losing
00:09:48But at the Olimpico, during the half-time break between Roma and Juventus, the atmosphere began to look bad for Lazio.
00:09:54At half time, Juve were losing 1-0.
00:09:59Then they told me that in the locker room they talked, they talked, the number one of the company talked
00:10:08Saying that maybe, well
00:10:10I had been in Roma the year before, so after, I heard from other Roma players
00:10:16And there was a kind of agreement
00:10:20Whether they went beyond this agreement afterward, I don't know exactly.
00:10:31They told me, it is said, as always what happens inside the locker rooms has very uncertain contours
00:10:39One has the impression of reliving the corruption that the football betting scandals have uncovered in recent months.
00:10:46Some people, after many years, have confirmed that the Roma players had reached an agreement with the Juventus players.
00:10:53to lose
00:10:54But even after many years the shadows of that day have not been illuminated.
00:10:58What is certain is that in the second half the course of events took a turn in Juventus' favor.
00:11:10In San Paolo, the Neapolitans continued to play as if it were a final and took the lead over Lazio.
00:11:19AC Milan were overwhelmed by an unexpected Verona goal fest.
00:11:27And at the Olimpico the stubborn Roma of the first half no longer exists
00:11:32Altafini scores the equalizing goal
00:11:36And with two minutes to go, Juventus overturned the results
00:11:45Unfortunately, Juventus scored in Rome a few minutes from the end
00:11:51A long-range shot by Cucureddo that we never digested
00:12:00Not only because this joke came to us from our cousins
00:12:04But why did we have any doubts about that goal?
00:12:08Maybe I'm wrong though, after all
00:12:10On that goal it seemed a little difficult to swallow.
00:12:21Thanks to Roma's alleged favor, Juventus is champion of Italy
00:12:26Lazio is only third
00:12:28The white and sky blue players are disappointed and bitter
00:12:31And in the Naples locker room they vent their anger in their own way.
00:12:36There was a good laugh
00:12:39We also liked to have good fights
00:12:41Some good fisticuffs
00:12:44We were also pleased
00:12:45And there we let off some steam.
00:12:49Punches aside, the anger quickly cools down
00:12:52For another reason too
00:12:53From Serie B to the fight for the Scudetto
00:12:55Lazietta has become big in just one year
00:12:59Having arrived two or three minutes before the end of the championship
00:13:02On the uncertainty of whether or not to win the championship
00:13:05It was a great satisfaction for us
00:13:09Watching him on match day
00:13:11That group of players really seems like a united and compact body
00:13:15Where harmony and harmony reign
00:13:18In reality, things are not like that.
00:13:23The Tor di Quinto training ground
00:13:25It is the scene of a clash without borders
00:13:28Between two real clans
00:13:30The locker room, as they say, is split in two
00:13:32And at Lazio it's not just a metaphor
00:13:36I undressed there
00:13:39Everyone had their own place
00:13:41With your own garment, clothing
00:13:44And it was forbidden to enter the other's locker room
00:13:49That is, only those who stripped in here had access here.
00:13:54We were at the table, there was a long table
00:13:57There was Wilson at the head of the table
00:13:59Chinaglia and Oddi
00:14:02I
00:14:04Garlaschelli
00:14:04Five empty seats
00:14:06And everything else beyond that
00:14:08That was it, but
00:14:10There wasn't even contact at the table
00:14:15And Chinaglia
00:14:17Invariably the apple of discord
00:14:19On one side there are those who are on his side
00:14:21On the other hand, those who are against
00:14:23There were always constant fights
00:14:26Why was there locker room A?
00:14:28My one, a class excuse me
00:14:30And that B they called the rag-and-bone man
00:14:33Because they never bought anything
00:14:35They always came to ask us for things.
00:14:41On the side there were me and Giorgio
00:14:43On the other side there was Martini and Riccecconi
00:14:48Sure, you see, Chinaglia wanted to be number one
00:14:52He wanted to decide everything himself
00:14:53When we went to retreat
00:14:58Some of us, including me, didn't agree with this.
00:15:01Giorgio was not liked by many people
00:15:06Because it's clear, right?
00:15:08Because sometimes I didn't like him either.
00:15:10And also to us who know him best
00:15:20On Fridays the Tor di Quinto training ground becomes a real bullfight
00:15:25The two clans face each other on the field
00:15:29Without excluding bodies
00:15:32The referee of these heated matches is coach Maestrelli
00:15:38Battles broke out
00:15:39Sometimes even some fights between us
00:15:49There were two or three thousand people watching this match on Friday
00:15:54Because by now the word had spread
00:15:56But these guys play a little match and get filled with firecrackers
00:16:03One kicked another
00:16:04He got angry because he kicked him.
00:16:07And he did so
00:16:09That other one, boom, boom, all of them
00:16:15Someone who had to play on Friday and Sunday
00:16:19You have to skip the game because
00:16:22Injured, an ankle, a knee
00:16:24So they were tough matches, very tough.
00:16:33Maestrelli lets his boys vent
00:16:38He knows that in this climate of eternal competition
00:16:41This tension accumulated during the week
00:16:44It turns into a formidable charge for the league matches
00:16:48And the opposing teams are the ones who pay the price.
00:16:54In the 73-74 championship
00:16:57The path of Maestrelli's boys is exemplary
00:17:00This time the other teams are struggling to keep up with the Biancocenesti
00:17:06Already after Christmas, Lazio is alone at the top of the table
00:17:09And closes the first half of the season with a three-point advantage over Juventus
00:17:16In Italy, in short, the big teams know that if they want to win
00:17:20They have to deal with Chinaglia's Lazio
00:17:22Lazio's fame is not yet widespread in Europe
00:17:25But it doesn't take long for Chinaglia and his team to make themselves known
00:17:29Even in the international field
00:17:30And not just for the quality of their play
00:17:33It's November 7, 1973
00:17:37The second leg of the UEFA Cup round of 32 will be played at the Olimpico
00:17:41Lazio vs. Ipswich Town
00:17:43The first leg on English soil was a real disaster for Chinaglia's team
00:17:484-0 for the English and everyone goes home
00:17:56We spent a hellish week in Rome
00:18:00Because everywhere there were these things of 4-0, 4-0, 4-0
00:18:06That made us furious
00:18:10We were so disappointed that we swore to him to play the return match.
00:18:17But we were a team of real bastards
00:18:21Bastards in the good sense
00:18:22Because we said let's try
00:18:33In a heated climate, Lazio tries
00:18:36He tries right away
00:18:40Garlastelli scores in the first minute
00:18:44Then it's Chinaglia who leads the charge
00:18:46The players on the pitch and the fans in the stands
00:18:50Now they really believe in the impossible comeback
00:18:52After 10 minutes we were winning 2-0
00:18:56And they were really, we were slaughtering them.
00:18:58They didn't pass the first half
00:19:01They didn't spend half of their time at the camp
00:19:07Then a controversial episode
00:19:10Near the Ipswich Town goal
00:19:11It heats up the spirits
00:19:17At a certain point I took action
00:19:19Shot on goal
00:19:20One on the line, one of their players, one defender
00:19:21He just jumped and saved the ball
00:19:23And the referee didn't give us a penalty
00:19:30They saved with one hand on the goal line
00:19:32The referee didn't see
00:19:33He pretended not to see it
00:19:36No penalty for Lazio
00:19:37And in the second half the referee does another one
00:19:41A player of theirs that I was marking
00:19:42He was standing two meters away from me
00:19:43When he turned around he touched himself
00:19:45And he went to the ground
00:19:46Alone
00:19:47The referee gave him a penalty
00:19:53A penalty given by a referee
00:19:55If I'm not mistaken, from the north
00:19:57I don't know if it's Danish or something else
00:20:00Who had drunk a little
00:20:01And you could see it, it wasn't a joke.
00:20:03It was clear that he had been drinking.
00:20:05And then he unleashed it there
00:20:07The fans inside the pitch too
00:20:10We who kicked the referee a few times
00:20:13And there someone lost patience
00:20:29People started throwing from all over the field
00:20:31I remember that I too even
00:20:34The oranges were arriving in the field
00:20:36I threw them at the guard
00:20:39The English score the penalty
00:20:42But it's a detail
00:20:43The game is now out of control
00:20:45The final score will be 4 to 2
00:20:48Lazio is eliminated
00:20:52Returning to the locker rooms
00:20:54Some of the English players
00:20:56He had a
00:20:57Someone said
00:20:59Italian bastard
00:21:00Italian Bastards
00:21:01Something like that
00:21:02And then it really went wild.
00:21:04A brawl
00:21:04A wild brawl
00:21:06With manhunt
00:21:07And then we all beat him up
00:21:17An evening of madness
00:21:19One could almost say ordinary madness
00:21:22For that group of rowdy players
00:21:24Lazio is out of Europe
00:21:27But what is more serious
00:21:28That for the excesses
00:21:29Of players and fans
00:21:30Lazio will be suspended
00:21:31For three years
00:21:32From all international competitions
00:21:35Well to the white and sky blue fans
00:21:36All that remains is to look at Italy
00:21:38On the contrary
00:21:38In Rome
00:21:48March 31, 1974
00:21:51In the capital
00:21:52It's derby time
00:21:53Lazio
00:21:54First in the rankings
00:21:55Face the straccittadina
00:21:56From favorite
00:22:00Rome
00:22:01For his part
00:22:01He can't wait
00:22:02To trip up
00:22:03To the eternal rivals
00:22:04Launch into the race
00:22:05Towards the Scudetto
00:22:07Excuse me
00:22:08Huh?
00:22:08Roma or Lazio her?
00:22:10Lazio
00:22:10And you?
00:22:12Rome or Lazio?
00:22:13Rome
00:22:13But do you see anything from here?
00:22:15Yes
00:22:15But what if there's a tree in front?
00:22:18You can't see it
00:22:18At least the door from Lazio
00:22:20I'm interested in seeing
00:22:21I also went
00:22:22In the dressing rooms from Rome
00:22:23He said I'm waiting outside on the pitch
00:22:26There are absurd things
00:22:27Because I felt the derby a lot
00:22:29Perhaps
00:22:30Me and Wilson
00:22:31I was the ones who
00:22:31We felt it more than anyone else
00:22:33The derby
00:22:35Also because
00:22:35Because you know
00:22:36My luck
00:22:37It's just that I had become a fan
00:22:38Of my team
00:22:44And the emotions
00:22:46That day
00:22:47There is no shortage
00:22:47Pulici's own goal
00:22:49And a draw
00:22:50By Vincenzo D'Amico
00:22:57The game is blocked
00:22:58At 1-1
00:22:59When again
00:23:00D'Amico
00:23:00He gets it
00:23:01A highly contested penalty
00:23:03The spirits in the stands
00:23:04They overheat
00:23:05In such a climate
00:23:07The warrior spirit
00:23:08From Chinaglia
00:23:08He gets excited
00:23:09We had to tear them to pieces
00:23:11We had to win
00:23:12Not in the draw
00:23:13Nothing
00:23:13We had to win
00:23:14It wasn't possible
00:23:16Lose against Roma
00:23:25Chinaglia
00:23:26Cold and decisive
00:23:27He scores the penalty
00:23:29The derby
00:23:30It ends 2-1
00:23:31For Lazio
00:23:32At the end of the game
00:23:33From the sector
00:23:34Some Roma fans
00:23:35The field
00:23:36It's raining all over the place
00:23:37The Lazio players
00:23:38They run for cover
00:23:39In the locker rooms
00:23:40Everyone
00:23:41Break one
00:23:44George Chinaglia
00:23:45He runs under the Roma curve
00:23:47With a mocking manner
00:23:48And the arm to the sacrum
00:23:52Seasoned
00:23:53In defiance
00:23:55But it's a challenge
00:23:56Let's say
00:23:57Between player
00:23:58Against opposing public
00:24:00It was
00:24:01What consecrated Chinaglia
00:24:04The anti-Romanist
00:24:05Par excellence
00:24:13How to say
00:24:14I'm in charge here
00:24:16Nobody
00:24:16Would you ever have imagined
00:24:18That a player
00:24:19From Lazio
00:24:21If only he could go
00:24:22Under the curve
00:24:23Of the Romanists
00:24:24And challenge them
00:24:25That way
00:24:29After the derby
00:24:30Rome becomes
00:24:30The territory
00:24:31Of personal war
00:24:32By Giorgio Chinaglia
00:24:33Here's what happens
00:24:35In one afternoon
00:24:36Like many others
00:24:36At the cinema
00:24:37We went
00:24:38AND
00:24:39A boy
00:24:40And a girl
00:24:41He saw Giorgio
00:24:41He told him
00:24:42Agobbo
00:24:43Agobbo
00:24:44Tomorrow over here
00:24:45Tomorrow over there
00:24:46And they
00:24:47We are terrified
00:24:48Now Giorgio
00:24:49He's quiet
00:24:50The lights are off
00:24:51George got up
00:24:52He stands behind
00:24:54This couple
00:24:55And he does it to him
00:24:56What was there of Agobbo?
00:24:59This one turns
00:25:00And he does it to him
00:25:01Oh
00:25:01Because since there were also
00:25:02Oddi and Petrelli with him
00:25:04Leave them alone
00:25:06And he does
00:25:07And this makes him
00:25:08No because you brought yourself
00:25:09In force
00:25:10And he
00:25:10Night less alone
00:25:11Pum
00:25:12And he throws it down
00:25:16To escape the clutches
00:25:17Some Roma fans
00:25:18Chinalia for a few weeks
00:25:20He goes to live at the Maestrelli house
00:25:21From his coach
00:25:25More than a coach
00:25:26Maestrelli is for Giorgio
00:25:28A true father
00:25:28The only one who knows how to take it
00:25:30The only one who knows how to guide his instincts
00:25:33And Maestrelli
00:25:34He understood this immediately.
00:25:36I remember that
00:25:37He spoke for hours and hours with Giorgio
00:25:39When Giorgio
00:25:41He was making a big deal out of it
00:25:42He was looking at him
00:25:43And he didn't take it back while it was still hot.
00:25:45Why Giorgio
00:25:45He was not a person
00:25:47What could you do?
00:25:48Contrast hot
00:25:49It was a
00:25:50It means
00:25:51An eruption
00:25:53Of very powerful energy
00:25:55And you couldn't go against it
00:25:58Maestrelli in reality
00:25:59He is attentive to all his boys
00:26:01And he knows them one by one
00:26:03And he knows exactly
00:26:04How to guide them
00:26:05He never tightens the rope
00:26:06He is tolerant
00:26:07He always defends them
00:26:08And when the situation
00:26:10It gets particularly tense
00:26:12Invent some small
00:26:13Trick
00:26:17Like April 14, 1974
00:26:20Lazio
00:26:21It is always first in the rankings
00:26:23Juventus
00:26:24But he doesn't give up back there
00:26:27Here is that day
00:26:28The Olympic
00:26:29A bad Lazio
00:26:30He's losing 2 to 1
00:26:31Against Verona
00:26:33That week
00:26:35There had been disagreements
00:26:36Between the two groups
00:26:37Who formed Lazio
00:26:39During training
00:26:40During the games
00:26:41We had reached the point of clashes
00:26:43Rather determined
00:26:45Even to hurt us
00:26:47And we also say
00:26:49Even to the hands
00:26:50Maestrelli was very worried
00:26:55When the referee blows the whistle for the end of the first half
00:26:58Maestrelli warns that the atmosphere among his
00:27:01It's too heavy
00:27:02He anticipated us
00:27:03In the underpass
00:27:05He went to the locker room
00:27:06He stood in front of the locker room door
00:27:08And he told us
00:27:10Get back on the field right away
00:27:12People didn't understand
00:27:15They were all a bit of fans
00:27:17They were saying
00:27:17But what are they doing?
00:27:18But how?
00:27:19Is the pionet finished?
00:27:19Do they have to go?
00:27:20At this point the public
00:27:22Always astonished
00:27:23In silence
00:27:24Almost reverential
00:27:25It started slowly
00:27:27I understood
00:27:27And he began to
00:27:29To cheer us up
00:27:30So much so that
00:27:31It was an incredible thing
00:27:32It was us against no one on the other side
00:27:34With the whole stadium cheering us on
00:27:36We charge ourselves in a way
00:27:38In an incredible way
00:27:52After seven minutes into the second half
00:27:55The result has changed completely
00:27:57Four to two for Lazio
00:27:59Nothing and nobody
00:28:00It is more able to slow down the race
00:28:02Some of Maestrelli's boys
00:28:05Great game
00:28:07Great game
00:28:07Maestrelli's psychological move
00:28:10Big move
00:28:12We realized we weren't losing.
00:28:14Because we were inferior
00:28:15But we were losing
00:28:16Why we were divided
00:28:17And at that point nothing and no one divided us anymore
00:28:26Maestrelli though
00:28:27He knows he's driving a supercar
00:28:29Which can go haywire at any moment
00:28:33For this reason he often takes his boys on retreat in a hotel just outside Rome
00:28:39In the endless hours locked in the hotel
00:28:42But they find their own way to cheat time.
00:28:46Martini was the first to carry the gun
00:28:50Because Martini was a gun enthusiast
00:28:52And if Martini was there
00:28:54There were some pure naglia
00:28:56And then Petrelli
00:29:00And then I
00:29:03Me too
00:29:04But it has become a disease
00:29:09We had it right in a field near the hotel
00:29:13Hundreds of meters from the hotel
00:29:15We had even built a polygon
00:29:19They put up posters and boards there.
00:29:22And we take the shot, we shot this shot like this
00:29:29Even those who were shooting were shooting
00:29:30And as usual he said he shot better than anyone else.
00:29:34Yes, there was already the rifle too
00:29:41As soon as we know, it's a Winchester
00:29:45But it makes me laugh
00:29:48Because if I see it now and say
00:29:52But is it ever possible that we show it to each other?
00:29:55What to do with it then?
00:30:05Then comes the day that every Lazio fan has waited a lifetime for
00:30:09May 12, 1974
00:30:12Lazio-Foggia is being played
00:30:14It's the match that can deliver Bianco Celesti
00:30:17The first Scudetto in their history
00:30:19The game where everyone wants to witness
00:30:22Everyone wants to be able to say one day
00:30:24I was there
00:30:29In fact at 6 in the morning
00:30:31People are already starting to push outside the stadium gates
00:30:35The outside audience tests the gates
00:30:37And the gates need to be opened immediately
00:30:39Goodbye 2 please
00:30:40Open the gates and let us know what's happening
00:30:43Stay in touch
00:30:44At 9 the stands begin to fill up.
00:30:51At 4pm when the teams enter the field there are 81 thousand people
00:30:56Think about it even today, 38 years later.
00:30:59This remains the attendance record of the Olympic Stadium
00:31:09I took a look at the field
00:31:12In the stands
00:31:13Not even an umbrella fit inside
00:31:17And I thought
00:31:19The referee, whatever happens,
00:31:21God I
00:31:22If a fan comes down
00:31:23He puts it in and gives us a goal
00:31:28It was supposed to be a walk in the park
00:31:30Why Foggia was being relegated
00:31:32We were winning the championship
00:31:33So the difference between the two teams was huge
00:31:36But maybe there they say the train driver is short-handed
00:31:39When you're afraid of making mistakes
00:31:42And that day we entered the field
00:31:44Not with the right head
00:31:52All of us had our legs shaking.
00:31:54Because winning meant winning the championship
00:31:57It was so hot
00:31:59It was very hot
00:32:00I remember the heat was one thing
00:32:02And I remember there was a dry mouth
00:32:04The whole match we couldn't breathe.
00:32:09However, Foggia is fighting to avoid relegation.
00:32:12And he's not willing to give up without a fight.
00:32:15The game is getting more difficult than expected
00:32:18In a clash with an opponent
00:32:20Martini falls and breaks his collarbone
00:32:22He is forced to leave the field
00:32:27He was taken to the masseur
00:32:31Under the stripper on the bed
00:32:35We were alone with him
00:32:36At one point he heard the roar
00:32:39And he said wait here while I go up and see what happened
00:32:42And I say to him, where are you going?
00:32:43I'm feeling terrible
00:32:43I'm dying of pain
00:32:45With the clavicle
00:32:47Wait, wait
00:32:5030 minutes from the end
00:32:52The referee whistled for a penalty kick
00:32:54In favor of Lazio
00:32:58Giorgio Chinaglia steps up to the spot
00:33:01Twice
00:33:02The sky blue white bomber
00:33:04Carefully adjust the ball on the spot
00:33:06How to make friends with him
00:33:08At that fateful moment
00:33:12Then he almost seems to close his eyes
00:33:14And it pulls
00:33:21With the stadium it seemed like it was coming towards me
00:33:23The changing rooms were right under the Montemario stand
00:33:27And I got emotional
00:33:32Giorgio took the penalty
00:33:33A shame
00:33:34Luckily he had gone over there
00:33:36Because if he stood still he would take it like this
00:33:38But he took penalties
00:33:40Every time he took penalties
00:33:41For us it was a suffering
00:33:42Because he wasn't a good penalty shooter.
00:33:46And when I saw the penalty again
00:33:49From Giorgio
00:33:52In the evening
00:33:53He shot a rag at the goal
00:33:55What I said
00:33:56I'm not talking to you but to the coach who makes you shoot
00:34:03Chinaglia doesn't celebrate under the stands
00:34:05Doesn't search for other players
00:34:06Run straight to Maestrelli
00:34:08And he hugs him
00:34:09As a child would do
00:34:10Maestri was a father to me
00:34:13A very honest person with everyone
00:34:17Psychologically perhaps the best of all
00:34:19Keeping a gang of madmen like ours at bay wasn't that easy.
00:34:23And he did it.
00:34:24A few minutes later the referee blew the final whistle.
00:34:27And the cheering crowd invades the field
00:34:30Lazio is champion of Italy
00:34:36The people
00:34:37A stadium full of flags
00:34:39The flags were still there
00:34:41A whole stadium full of flags
00:34:46And the party
00:34:52Maestrelli
00:35:02Maestrelli at the time of the escape from the camp
00:35:06It seems to me that I remained sitting on the bench
00:35:11With hands and hair
00:35:13He, aunt with the money
00:35:16And you realize what he's feeling at that moment.
00:35:23He didn't tell me anything
00:35:25In the sense that
00:35:27What is there to say?
00:35:29You look at yourself with your eyes
00:35:31Everyone's joy
00:35:32That was enough
00:35:38Very different and much less sober
00:35:41It's Giorgione Chinaglia's way of celebrating
00:35:44He won the championship
00:35:46It's the scorers' ranking
00:35:47And he wants to sing it to the world
00:35:49Record a single
00:35:51Football Crazy
00:35:52A single in which he proclaims
00:35:54The best in the world
00:36:16At this point
00:36:18Long John feels unbeatable
00:36:20In Germany the World Cup is really ready to break everything
00:36:23Only to play for the national team of the champion of Italy
00:36:27Three were chosen
00:36:29In fact, the technical commissioner Ferruccio Valcareggi
00:36:32He only called Chinaglia, Wilson and Rececconi
00:36:35And Chinaglia doesn't take it well.
00:36:37Claim the rest of the companions
00:36:38In interviews he even accuses Valcareggi of racism
00:36:42Towards the southern teams
00:36:44And this does not make relationships with other players easier.
00:36:49The Azzurri's first match was on June 15, 1974
00:36:53The opponents, while singing the anthem, are in tears
00:36:57They are the players from Haiti
00:36:59Overwhelmed by emotion
00:37:00Because they are participating in a World Cup for the first time
00:37:07Beating them should be a walk in the park.
00:37:09But Italy for the whole first half
00:37:11He can't get anything done
00:37:14When the second half begins
00:37:16We're still at 0-0
00:37:18The blues are so poor
00:37:20That the miracle is accomplished
00:37:22Haiti today looks like a great team
00:37:45Getting angry at the goal is like an alarm clock
00:37:49In less than 10 minutes
00:37:51Italian players emerge from their torpor
00:37:53With a goal to reduce
00:38:00But in Valcarigi it's not enough
00:38:02He has already decided
00:38:05Let Anastasi in
00:38:07The one who has to leave the field is Chinaglia
00:38:09He doesn't take it well
00:38:11Just when he was starting to get pregnant
00:38:14And without thinking too much about it
00:38:16He reacts like this
00:38:19At that point I sent everyone packing.
00:38:36Italy remains frozen
00:38:39And in fact on the way back from Germany
00:38:42Chinaglia is dogged by criticism
00:38:44Even on the street
00:38:45For months he avoids showing himself in public
00:38:49That moment and the consequences of that stupid gesture
00:38:53They will weigh on him forever like a sentence
00:38:58To find lost serenity
00:39:01Chinaglia needs the support of his team
00:39:03After the World Cup, he finally finds his mentor Tommaso Maestrelli again.
00:39:08Who would ever dream of sending to hell?
00:39:10And with him he dreams of defending that championship
00:39:13Sewn with effort and pride on the chest
00:39:16And Chinaglia will win next season too
00:39:18The top scorers ranking?
00:39:20But I hope so
00:39:21Anyway, everyone wants to win it
00:39:24Let's see who wins in the end.
00:39:26However, it will be hard for them too.
00:39:36For a good part of the championship
00:39:38Lazio remains at the top of the table
00:39:40Together with the usual Juventus
00:39:42To Turin and Rome
00:39:43He plays well, he's brilliant
00:39:45But someone notices that in Maestrelli
00:39:48There's something wrong
00:39:55We had been seeing Maestrelli for a while now.
00:39:57That attached itself to the radiators
00:40:00Because he had stomach pain
00:40:02But nobody could think of anything important
00:40:09March 30, 1975, Easter Sunday
00:40:13After a great victory in Bologna
00:40:15The situation is getting worse
00:40:17I remember that after the Bologna match
00:40:20It then coincided with the match with the disease of
00:40:33In the evening when he returns home to his wife
00:40:36He says he felt stomach pains
00:40:38It's so cold
00:40:39They immediately run to do the tests
00:40:41Maestrelli was immediately admitted to the clinic
00:40:45The diagnosis is merciless
00:40:47Advanced liver cancer
00:40:50It's the beginning of a painful ordeal
00:40:53Not a day goes by without his players going to visit him.
00:40:56They gather around him like children
00:40:58Meanwhile, the team finished the championship in fourth place.
00:41:02But now everyone's head is elsewhere
00:41:05Maestrelli had been operated on
00:41:09And they said there was nothing they could do
00:41:12That was a bad disease
00:41:13And well, there the world fell apart on us.
00:41:15Each of us says from that moment on
00:41:18I say he went on his own
00:41:20That is, the games really ended.
00:41:23To give them to us
00:41:25The fun ended
00:41:26It all ended suddenly
00:41:27Let's say we missed the person
00:41:31Which you were counting on
00:41:35And when you don't have a point of reference
00:41:38Nice firm, nice firm
00:41:41Something will creak
00:41:44The following season on the white and blue bench
00:41:48In place of Maestrelli there is an emerging technician
00:41:50Julius Corsini
00:41:51And Lazio's championship is terrible
00:41:58The Scudetto team has begun to fall apart
00:42:01For Chinaglia the situation has become unbearable
00:42:05At every away game he gets a barrage of whistles and insults from opposing fans.
00:42:10Nobody forgives him for the events of the World Cup in Germany
00:42:13Conny, the player's wife, can't even go shopping without being bullied by the Zallorossi fans.
00:42:20And so he decides to move to New Jersey
00:42:23As if that wasn't enough, Chinaglia immediately quarreled with the new coach
00:42:28They even reach the hands
00:42:35He came and made us run like crazy
00:42:41He had the wrong approach with the team
00:42:45Chinaglia from dad Maestrelli, from dad Tommaso
00:42:49To someone who treated him like just anyone
00:42:52Open sky
00:42:57Without Maestrelli to keep him in check, Chinaglia explodes and threatens to leave
00:43:02The team suffers from it
00:43:04They lose match after match and even find themselves fighting to avoid relegation to Serie B.
00:43:09New coach Corsini doesn't know what to do
00:43:12We would not have allowed anyone to take Maestrelli's place
00:43:17He was on the bench but for us it was as if he wasn't there
00:43:23Surprisingly, however, some comforting news is starting to arrive from the Maestrelli household.
00:43:27Thanks to an innovative treatment, the coach is improving
00:43:31And day after day he begins to regain his strength
00:43:36Well, yes, it's one of my joys
00:43:39It's a return to life
00:43:41Because I can't forget when my wife would pop into my room in the morning.
00:43:47At four, at half past four in the morning
00:43:50To see if I was asleep, awake or needed something
00:43:55Back on his feet, Maestrelli is eager to return to coaching
00:43:59He is thin, tired and sick
00:44:01But he still wants to lead his team in the worst moment
00:44:16And I didn't believe I'd ever come back
00:44:18There, I didn't believe it anymore
00:44:19No, no, I didn't believe it anymore
00:44:21Because when I saw myself
00:44:25I saw my physique decline day by day
00:44:27From 85 kg I had reached 55
00:44:30I had lost 30 kg
00:44:32Then I saw this skin here, sagging
00:44:36And then I didn't hope for it anymore, that's it
00:44:44Lazio is at the bottom of the table
00:44:47But with a good end to the championship
00:44:50The white and sky blues can still save themselves from Serie B
00:44:52With Maestrelli back on the dock
00:44:55Everyone expects that now
00:44:56Giorgio Chinalia returns to roar for the white and blue colors
00:45:03And then comes a sudden piece of news
00:45:07Long John, just at that moment
00:45:09In the midst of the fight for survival
00:45:11He leaves the team and leaves his teammates
00:45:13The symbol of Lazio's Scudetto
00:45:17Maestrelli's favorite son
00:45:19Well, he's leaving for America.
00:45:22Seduced by the dollars of the New York cosmos
00:45:25To prevent Lazio fans
00:45:27They prevent him from leaving
00:45:29Giorgio Chinalia organizes a real escape
00:45:31First an air taxi from Urbe airport
00:45:34Heading to Genoa
00:45:35Then another plane to Paris
00:45:38And from here finally flies to America
00:45:40For Lazio and their hopes of survival
00:45:43It's a hard blow
00:45:44And for Maestrelli it's a real misunderstanding.
00:45:49He really treated Giorgio like a son.
00:45:54And he probably had his own conversations inside.
00:45:57Maestrelli was not one to talk much
00:45:59He was looking at you
00:46:02With the look
00:46:03He told you everything
00:46:10Maestrelli takes the hit
00:46:11But he doesn't show it.
00:46:13Look ahead
00:46:14And he hands over the number 9 shirt of Chinalia
00:46:16In the hands of a 19 year old
00:46:21I put on Giorgio's shirt
00:46:23As if nothing had happened
00:46:25Started playing
00:46:26Then luckily it went well
00:46:27And from there my story begins
00:46:31On the following Sundays
00:46:33Young Jordan
00:46:34It doesn't make you regret the absence of Chinalia
00:46:44But it is written
00:46:46That the suffering of Lazio
00:46:47It must last until the last day
00:46:49Lived on a dramatic afternoon
00:46:51In Como
00:46:54If Lazio loses
00:46:56It ends in Serie B
00:47:00And after a few minutes
00:47:02They're already down 2-0.
00:47:07Without its pack leader
00:47:09The team seems to be in disarray
00:47:13Serie B now
00:47:15It seems inevitable
00:47:17But to the Lazio boys
00:47:19Just take a look at the bench
00:47:21To find the right motivations
00:47:23We saw it
00:47:24That it would not last long
00:47:26And we wanted to give him
00:47:27That last thing
00:47:29He who took a Lazio
00:47:31That was going badly
00:47:31And he saves her
00:47:32It is equivalent to winning the Scudetto
00:47:34For those who love Lazio
00:47:37He is Maestrelli's new student
00:47:39Bruno Giordano
00:47:40To give courage back to the Biancocelesti
00:47:44But above all it is King Cecconi
00:47:46Carrying the team on his shoulders
00:47:47To lead her to salvation
00:47:50At that point
00:47:52All the boys are going wild
00:47:53Just like the good old days
00:47:55And Badiani reaches the long-awaited Paris
00:47:58And we managed to stay in Serie A
00:48:01With an extreme mister
00:48:03We had to physically just
00:48:06He couldn't do it anymore
00:48:08Withstand this kind of pressure
00:48:21We had been waiting for months and months
00:48:23This fateful moment
00:48:25We got there
00:48:26We got here by suffering
00:48:29Suffering the pains of hell
00:48:30And last but not least in this match
00:48:34Tommaso Maestrelli brought his boys
00:48:37To salvation
00:48:38It's his latest work
00:48:40The disease in the meantime
00:48:41In fact, she came back to torment him.
00:48:44And this time there is no escape
00:48:45December 2, 1976
00:48:48His boys parade in front of the bed
00:48:50Where Maestrelli is breathing his last breath
00:48:53The last breaths
00:48:54Of a life lived
00:48:56Without wanting to be left behind
00:48:58No regrets
00:48:59And they are all there
00:49:00Chinaglia too
00:49:01Rushed back from America
00:49:08Us
00:49:11We went to him every Sunday.
00:49:13The game was over
00:49:14We ran to Fleming
00:49:16Which was kind of our point of reference
00:49:18We went to him
00:49:20AND
00:49:22How did it go?
00:49:22How did it go?
00:49:23And so
00:49:24We were talking a little
00:49:25How did the match go?
00:49:32The last time I saw him
00:49:34I went to visit him in the hospital
00:49:36AND
00:49:41You saw him in bed
00:49:43It was a pain
00:49:44A pain
00:49:45Very ugly
00:49:46Seeing him in those conditions
00:49:53Now that Maestrelli is no longer here
00:49:56And also Chinaglia
00:49:57He returned to America for good
00:49:59Lazio is struggling to find its identity again
00:50:02The only one who can give
00:50:04Face and continuity to the team
00:50:06That's what has always been at the center
00:50:08Of the white and celestial game
00:50:09Luciano Recceconi
00:50:11A tough midfielder
00:50:12A practitioner
00:50:13Often in the shadows
00:50:15He is always at the service of the team
00:50:17In short
00:50:18It's certainly not Chinaglia
00:50:19On the other hand, however
00:50:20Recceconi
00:50:21He always has the right advice for everyone
00:50:23So much so that they call it
00:50:24The wise man
00:50:29The wise man yes
00:50:30Because he had a good word for everyone
00:50:33Him when I was undressed
00:50:34There were discussions
00:50:35He was always the one trying to mediate
00:50:38To act as peacemaker
00:50:42Recceconi was on the quiet
00:50:44I liked to joke
00:50:48Calm
00:50:49Always ready for a joke
00:50:50But above all indispensable
00:50:53In the match that saved the white and sky blues from relegation
00:50:57Every ball passed through Recceconi's feet
00:51:03In short, everyone is counting on him.
00:51:07But just a month after Maestrelli's disappearance
00:51:10Lazio is destined to suffer another tragic blow
00:51:13He scored that goal on Sunday
00:51:16That the goalkeeper is still wondering where it came from
00:51:19What you are seeing are unpublished images
00:51:21From the film Appeal
00:51:23The Recceconi case
00:51:25Hey Luciano, how are you?
00:51:26When will we see you back on the pitch?
00:51:28I hope soon
00:51:29The documentary was produced by RAI in 1983
00:51:32And it accurately shows everything that happened on January 18, 1977
00:51:37It airs only today
00:51:40After a long lawsuit that prevented its diffusion
00:51:43But let's go back to the facts of that day
00:51:45After training
00:51:47Luciano meets a teammate at the bar
00:51:50Peter Ghidim
00:51:51Together they decide to accompany a perfumer friend
00:51:54In a local jewelry store
00:51:59It was a rainy and windy day
00:52:02And when the perfumer came in
00:52:06They went behind
00:52:07With his collar up and his hands in his pockets
00:52:08At this point
00:52:09According to the reconstructions of the time
00:52:11King Cecconi thinks of a joke
00:52:15Nobody move
00:52:16This is a robbery
00:52:17For the jeweler it's nothing new
00:52:20It would be the third robbery in a short time
00:52:22When Ghidim raised his head
00:52:23He saw the jeweler's gun
00:52:25Focus on him
00:52:27The jeweler has passed by
00:52:28He put in aim
00:52:30King Cecconi
00:52:31And he shot
00:52:33It's a joke
00:52:35It's a joke
00:52:37The jeweler seems
00:52:38That he took the gun out of the drawer
00:52:40And fired a shot
00:52:42One shot only
00:52:44What King Cecconi took
00:52:46Who was promptly rescued by friends
00:52:51And taken to San Gianni
00:52:56A sudden and absurd death
00:52:59That of Luciano Re Cecconi
00:53:01The documents of the time establish
00:53:03That the jeweler Bruno Tabocchini
00:53:05He acted in self-defense
00:53:07These are difficult years
00:53:08Years in which the streets fill with bullets
00:53:11Like in the Wild West
00:53:12And the robberies at the jewelry stores
00:53:13They are the order of the day
00:53:15It is therefore easy to understand the alarm
00:53:18Where the goldsmith lives
00:53:19But how to understand instead
00:53:21King Cecconi's point of view
00:53:23Is it possible for a man
00:53:25What they call the wise man
00:53:27Come up with such a stupid joke
00:53:29It's a question that the Re Cecconi family
00:53:32He never stopped doing it
00:53:37My mother has always looked for Pietro Ghedin
00:53:41Ghedin was never clear with her
00:53:45Nothing, nothing
00:53:46It was all a terrible misunderstanding.
00:53:48And how did you get the idea?
00:53:49To come and play this prank?
00:53:51He always told me he was very shocked
00:53:54From the situation here I believe
00:53:55Moreover
00:53:56He never remembered
00:53:57If in short dad entering
00:53:59He said good evening to everyone
00:54:00Hello everyone
00:54:01Stop everyone
00:54:02In short, so these things too
00:54:03They have always increased doubts
00:54:06That something strange
00:54:08At that moment it happened
00:54:16My father first of all
00:54:17I would like him to remember
00:54:20For what he did anyway
00:54:22And he managed to get there
00:54:25At high levels
00:54:27Maybe starting not from talents
00:54:30Excellent
00:54:31But working
00:54:32With sweat
00:54:33With the desire to
00:54:34To do things well
00:54:36What should have been
00:54:37It should be an example
00:54:39For many young people
00:54:40His story has become
00:54:42A warning about something
00:54:43That not
00:54:43It should not be done
00:54:45This is the big one
00:54:46The great sorrow
00:54:47In short
00:54:51As of today
00:54:52The only established truth
00:54:54It is the one preserved
00:54:55In the 1977 documents
00:54:57Of course
00:54:58The tragedy of Luciano Ricecconi
00:55:00She is the daughter of an era
00:55:01Livid with anger and lead
00:55:03And of a kick
00:55:04Filled uselessly with guns
00:55:06It was an era
00:55:07Of black and white film
00:55:09Of lights and shadows
00:55:10Then comes the color
00:55:12And the Chinaglia gang
00:55:13It's no longer there
00:55:15The new era
00:55:17Colors opens
00:55:18In the name of Bruno Giordano
00:55:19Boy whose teachers
00:55:20He entrusted the number 9 shirt
00:55:22For all the heir of Chinaglia
00:55:24The legacy is all in one simple
00:55:26Fundamental quality
00:55:28Giordano scores
00:55:30He does more than anyone else
00:55:31And above all he scores beautiful goals
00:55:34Look what he's up to
00:55:36Just 21 years old
00:55:37In front of a sacred monster like Zoff
00:55:41Before
00:55:42A splendid volley
00:55:54That game clearly
00:55:55Like many Lazio fans
00:55:57They carry it in their hearts
00:55:59Then Juventus
00:55:59A stellar Juventus
00:56:03Then even
00:56:05A double lob
00:56:13The boy's unconsciousness
00:56:15That you see the myth in front of Zoff
00:56:18And he lobs it for him
00:56:19In short
00:56:20So
00:56:20If I had been a few years older
00:56:22I wouldn't have tried
00:56:23This double lob
00:56:24First on Morini
00:56:25And then on Zoff
00:56:26Unconsciousness sometimes
00:56:28It makes you
00:56:29It makes you grow up
00:56:31Stratospheric player
00:56:35I believe so
00:56:36Of never having played
00:56:39With someone stronger than him
00:56:54Despite Giordano's goals
00:56:56But Lazio doesn't stand out
00:56:57And it remains confined
00:56:58Mid-table
00:57:02The only eagle
00:57:03Who can fly
00:57:04It's the one sewn on the chest
00:57:06Of the number 9
00:57:08In the championship
00:57:101978-79
00:57:11With 19 goals
00:57:13Bruno Giordano
00:57:14Win the title
00:57:15Of chief gunner
00:57:21Giordano is a great
00:57:23Center forward
00:57:26And I hope
00:57:28Let Presta be
00:57:29The best
00:57:29Center forward
00:57:31From Italy
00:57:36Giordano is now
00:57:37The King of Rome
00:57:38Lazio shore
00:57:41He also got married
00:57:42With the very young
00:57:43Sabrina Minardi
00:57:44Here they are
00:57:45Hand in hand
00:57:46Around Trastevere
00:57:47The neighborhood where
00:57:48Giordano was born
00:57:49And he grew up
00:57:49And where does it feel?
00:57:50Just like a king
00:57:52The marriage with Minardi
00:57:54It won't last long
00:57:55By Giordano
00:57:57It was said
00:57:58That he liked
00:57:59Night clubs
00:58:01Being the Trastevere
00:58:03It was created
00:58:04The myth
00:58:04That Giordano smoked
00:58:06What Giordano drank
00:58:08It was created
00:58:09The myth
00:58:10The myth then
00:58:12What a myth
00:58:13And they created
00:58:14This gossip
00:58:15About me
00:58:17And I moved on
00:58:22After the divorce
00:58:23With Giordano
00:58:24Sabrina Minardi
00:58:25It will end up becoming
00:58:26The Boss's Woman
00:58:27And the band
00:58:28Of the Magliana
00:58:28Enrico De Pelis
00:58:30Even on this coincidence
00:58:32Rumors will circulate
00:58:34And gossip
00:58:35Without any credit
00:58:36It's true though
00:58:38That the city of Rome
00:58:39In those years
00:58:39It's in hand
00:58:40Organized crime
00:58:41The china pistols
00:58:43Of his gang
00:58:43In comparison
00:58:44They don't scare you at all
00:58:46And it's still true
00:58:47Dramatically true
00:58:49The news
00:58:50That at the beginning
00:58:51Of the new decade
00:58:52It overwhelms the whole world
00:58:53Of the ball
00:58:53It all began
00:58:55On the evening of January 5th
00:58:571980
00:58:58The eve of the match
00:58:59Milan-Lazio
00:59:00Michele Plastino
00:59:02At the time
00:59:02A young man
00:59:03Sports journalist
00:59:04Very close
00:59:05To the locker rooms
00:59:06White and sky blue
00:59:07Receives
00:59:07A mysterious phone call
00:59:09As soon as I think about it again
00:59:10I feel anxious again
00:59:11A voice
00:59:13Male
00:59:14I will never know
00:59:15Who was it?
00:59:17There weren't even any
00:59:18The wiretaps
00:59:19At the time
00:59:20He tells me
00:59:22Do something
00:59:26They are selling out
00:59:27The match
00:59:28I do
00:59:29Who?
00:59:29As?
00:59:30Why?
00:59:31Look
00:59:31It will mark
00:59:33Two goals
00:59:34Jordan
00:59:35Lazio loses
00:59:36Three to two
00:59:36They are selling out
00:59:38The match
00:59:39After
00:59:40Two hours
00:59:41Three hours
00:59:41Something
00:59:42Something like that
00:59:43It comes back to me
00:59:45Another phone call
00:59:48They are threatening
00:59:50Family
00:59:51And players
00:59:53Why
00:59:54They
00:59:55They don't want to stay anymore
00:59:57To the agreements
00:59:58All these things
01:00:00So I try to get people talking
01:00:01What does it mean?
01:00:02What does it mean?
01:00:06In Milan
01:00:07The teams take to the field
01:00:09Lazio is listless
01:00:11In his service
01:00:12About the match
01:00:12On Sunday sports
01:00:14Beppe Viola
01:00:15He talks about it like this
01:00:15Lazio
01:00:16Carefree as always
01:00:18He did his best
01:00:19To make people forget
01:00:20To displease the Milan fans
01:00:21Bruno Giordano
01:00:23Just to name one
01:00:24He sipped
01:00:25His talent
01:00:26Intimidating
01:00:27Albertosi
01:00:27On a few occasions
01:00:29The big troubles
01:00:30They came
01:00:30From the defense
01:00:31Where Manfredonia
01:00:32This was
01:00:33Giodi's Double
01:00:34He was absent
01:00:35In the moments
01:00:36Of Italy
01:00:37In the end
01:00:37Milan
01:00:38Wins 2 to 1
01:00:39Jordan
01:00:40Score a goal
01:00:42When
01:00:43They returned
01:00:44I went
01:00:45At D'Amico's house
01:00:46Saying
01:00:46What have you done?
01:00:48In terms of a little bit
01:00:49Heavier
01:00:50What have you done?
01:00:51And I saw that he
01:00:53He was looking at me
01:00:54Lost
01:00:55That is, he didn't know
01:00:56During the match
01:00:57I noticed
01:00:59About some things
01:01:01What do you understand?
01:01:02From attitudes
01:01:04Someone
01:01:05What did he say?
01:01:06To a Milan player
01:01:08What did he say?
01:01:09To a Lazio player
01:01:11Don't make me name names
01:01:12Why is it not clear?
01:01:13He tells me
01:01:14Ah but then
01:01:14Now
01:01:14We were 2-0 to them
01:01:16We were 2-0 up against Milan
01:01:17This character
01:01:18He tells me
01:01:19Oh now
01:01:19Let's make Giordano score
01:01:22And I tell myself
01:01:23Why you have to mark Giordano
01:01:24And I asked myself some questions
01:01:30The scandal
01:01:32Of the matches sold
01:01:33It explodes three months
01:01:34After that meeting
01:01:35It's March 23rd
01:01:371980
01:01:38It's a Sunday
01:01:39And the usual appointment
01:01:41With ninetieth minute
01:01:42He gets overwhelmed
01:01:43From the raids
01:01:44Of the police forces
01:01:45In stadiums across half of Italy
01:01:47The police arrived
01:01:48Yes Galeazzi
01:01:50Yes you are on air
01:01:50What's up?
01:01:52So dear Paolo
01:01:52Look
01:01:53Here are the changing rooms
01:01:54Of the Olympic
01:01:55They are closed
01:01:56They don't let them in
01:01:57The journalists
01:01:57Evidently
01:01:58Evidently
01:01:59Something happened
01:02:00We're talking about mandates
01:02:02Of capture
01:02:02How do you see?
01:02:03That day
01:02:03Lazio plays in Pescara
01:02:04The police cars
01:02:06They arrived there too
01:02:07Four players arrested
01:02:09White and sky blue
01:02:10And among these
01:02:11Bruno Giordano himself
01:02:13I was in Pescara
01:02:15And we begin to say
01:02:17They are arresting players
01:02:19Rumors are starting to spread
01:02:21So live
01:02:23I had a friend
01:02:24Which was on the other side
01:02:26Who was making signs to me
01:02:28And he told me
01:02:31Nine
01:02:32Handcuffs
01:02:33I was saying
01:02:34Giordano arrested
01:02:39Manfredonia arrested
01:02:40I don't remember if it was the 6th or the 4th
01:02:43Then
01:02:45Wilson arrested
01:02:46For Lazio fans
01:02:48The news is another punch in the stomach
01:02:50A knockout blow
01:02:53Eleven players
01:02:54Nine of Serie A
01:02:55Two of series B
01:02:56And the president of a football club
01:02:59That is Columbus
01:03:00President of Milan
01:03:01They were arrested today
01:03:03To report the scandal
01:03:05They were two Roman characters
01:03:07Involved in the facts
01:03:08Alvaro Trinca and Massimo Cruciani
01:03:11The two described to the magistrates
01:03:14An unimaginable plot
01:03:16Of fixed and conditioned matches
01:03:18A difficult tangle to unravel
01:03:21Involving half of Serie A
01:03:23In short
01:03:24A 30-year-old story
01:03:26But that seems like a recent story
01:03:28A story
01:03:29Which unfortunately
01:03:31It repeats itself cyclically
01:03:33Unfortunately
01:03:34For those who love sports
01:03:35And for those who defend him
01:03:36At any cost
01:03:37How Simone Farina did it
01:03:39The Gubbio defender
01:03:40That just last year
01:03:41He reported an attempted match
01:03:45It has been considered
01:03:46A hero of our football
01:03:48And then in Italy
01:03:48After leaving his team
01:03:50He couldn't find a job anymore
01:03:51But that's another story
01:03:54Let's go back to the 1980 scandal
01:03:56Toto nero
01:03:57Which overwhelmed Italian football
01:03:59And Lazio
01:04:01Jordan
01:04:01Manfredonia
01:04:02Wilson
01:04:03And the hunters goalkeeper
01:04:04I'm in jail
01:04:05With the defamatory accusation
01:04:06Of having sold out
01:04:07The match with Milan
01:04:13For Old Wilson
01:04:14Protagonist of many battles
01:04:16It's a sad end to a career
01:04:20For Bruno Giordano
01:04:22Regina Celi prison
01:04:23It's the mocking return
01:04:25In his trastivire
01:04:26I felt like a caged lion
01:04:31And still today
01:04:32After many years
01:04:33It still hurts me so much
01:04:35Because actually
01:04:36I couldn't understand
01:04:38What happened
01:04:43Ordinary justice
01:04:44He will end up acquitting
01:04:45All defendants
01:04:46For not having committed the act
01:04:53So everyone is acquitted.
01:04:55The 38 defendants
01:04:56From the football betting trial
01:04:57Only Massimo Cruciani
01:04:59The fruit wholesaler
01:05:00Who denounced the scandal
01:05:01He was involved in
01:05:03He was sentenced
01:05:04A fine of 300,000 lire
01:05:08But to sports justice
01:05:10Suspicion is enough
01:05:11Lazio is relegated
01:05:13In Serie B
01:05:14Together with Milan
01:05:18The decade of a team
01:05:20Which had made us dream
01:05:21His fans
01:05:22It ends in the worst way
01:05:24Right there
01:05:25Where it began
01:05:26In Serie B
01:05:29The memory of the races
01:05:31Strenate under the curve
01:05:32By Giorgio Chinaglia
01:05:33It's very far away now
01:05:39In 1983 however
01:05:41There's a surprise move
01:05:42George Chinaglia
01:05:44He returns from the United States
01:05:45Like the prodigal son
01:05:46Enriched
01:05:47A little bit of a joke
01:05:48Very boastful
01:05:50Lazio plays
01:05:51In the cadet championship
01:05:53The accounts are in bad shape
01:05:54Chinaglia
01:05:55He came to buy it
01:06:02We ask ourselves to work
01:06:04And surely
01:06:05We will return great
01:06:08Giorgio was a bit
01:06:10Megalomaniac
01:06:10That is, it increased
01:06:12Some things
01:06:18He's back
01:06:20Saying
01:06:21The dollars
01:06:22The dollars
01:06:23The dollars
01:06:24There were few of them
01:06:25And things went wrong
01:06:38He had people behind him
01:06:41That they were both Americans
01:06:43But Italian-Americans
01:06:44That they wanted to exploit more
01:06:46The situation
01:06:47So there
01:06:48After a while
01:06:49He understood that Giorgio
01:06:50It was a tool
01:06:51In hand
01:06:52To people
01:06:54Let's say
01:06:56A bit'
01:06:57Particular
01:06:59From here on out
01:07:00His career
01:07:01It will be a succession
01:07:02Of accusations
01:07:02And convictions
01:07:05The first
01:07:06In 1996
01:07:07Two years in prison
01:07:09For false accounting
01:07:10And bankruptcy
01:07:11Between sorrowful
01:07:11And the sentence
01:07:12Which is touched
01:07:13In Chinaglia
01:07:16The story
01:07:17History repeats itself
01:07:18In 2006
01:07:19When he tries
01:07:19To recover
01:07:20Lazio
01:07:21For purchase
01:07:21They would have been used
01:07:23The clans' money
01:07:23Of the Casalesi
01:07:24Ten measures
01:07:25Of arrest
01:07:26Among the recipients
01:07:27Even Giorgio
01:07:29Chinalia
01:07:29Together with him
01:07:30Eight other people
01:07:31All accused
01:07:32Of dispersion
01:07:32And stock market manipulation
01:07:34In the investigation
01:07:34On the climb
01:07:35Of the company
01:07:35George
01:07:36Chinalia
01:07:37But that though
01:07:37At the moment
01:07:38It is unrepeatable
01:07:39He says he's staying in Rome
01:07:40New arrest warrant
01:07:40For Giorgio Chinalia
01:07:41The resident abroad
01:07:43What a desire
01:07:43Are you sure of what you are doing?
01:07:45Are you sure of what you are doing?
01:07:46People are close to you
01:07:47They are reliable people
01:07:49Here he was surrounded
01:07:50From so many people
01:07:52And among these many people
01:07:53There were also characters
01:07:55A bit'
01:07:56A little uncomfortable
01:07:58The money laundering charges
01:08:00They haven't passed yet
01:08:01In res judicata
01:08:02There is no judicial truth
01:08:04The truth of Chinalia
01:08:06Instead it got lost
01:08:07Forever
01:08:07April 1st
01:08:08This year's
01:08:09Long John
01:08:10It has passed away
01:08:11In his bed
01:08:11At 65 years old
01:08:12In Florida
01:08:13Struck by a heart attack
01:08:21The memory of Chinalia
01:08:22It is divided between light and shadow
01:08:27Who only loved the champion
01:08:29He prefers to remember it
01:08:31When he was on top of the world
01:08:32And he sang in English
01:08:33An Englishman as a returning emigrant
01:08:39I'm crazy about football
01:08:40He sang
01:08:41I'm the best in the world
01:08:48When one has a past
01:08:50As we had it
01:08:51We won
01:08:52The skeptic
01:08:53That way
01:08:54We have been
01:08:55The darlings
01:08:56Of a city like Rome
01:08:57Then off the field
01:08:59You can only scale down
01:09:01You have to accept becoming a normal person
01:09:03Who does a normal job
01:09:05And that no longer has
01:09:06He no longer treads the stage
01:09:08In short
01:09:09Giorgio never wanted to be like this.
01:09:16Extraordinary and outside the rules
01:09:18Even in the final twist
01:09:20Chinalia's body returned to Rome
01:09:22And he will be buried in the chapel
01:09:24Where the master of a lifetime has long rested
01:09:26What was a second father to him
01:09:29Thomas Maestrelli
01:09:33Time, like a parent, forgives everything.
01:09:37Even America's betrayal
01:09:39From the serious accusations of money laundering
01:09:42Instead Chinalia had to defend itself alone
01:09:44And it makes one think that he professed to be naive.
01:09:47One too confident in the next
01:09:54Of course under the shadow of Maestrelli
01:09:56He would never be wrong
01:09:58Of course under the shadow of Maestrelli
01:10:00Even eternal sleep is less harsh
01:10:02But Maestrelli is
01:10:04For me he's like a father, in short.
01:10:06I even made a little song last year
01:10:10And titled?
01:10:12Thomas, Thomas, Thomas
