“This is how you play only in Heaven.” De Rossi's Roma better than Mourinho and the Giallorossi fans rejoice

“This is how you only play in Heaven!”. To sportsmen, otherwise young, like the writer, the triumph and the beautiful game of De Rossi's Roma against Brighton, in the Europa League, have, perhaps, brought to mind this phrase by Fulvio Bernardini, pronounced on 17 October 1962.

In the Emilian derby, Bologna beat Modena 7-1 and the coach, Bernardini, made that statement, which would make history. And just under 2 years later the Roman coach (1905-1984), one of the most loved footballers in the capital, then coach of the national team, gave Bologna an unforgettable championship, beating Inter, at the Olympic Stadium, on 7 June 1964, 23 years after the last tricolor of the Emilian club (7 championships). And for “sor Fulvio” that title came 6 years after the one he won on the Fiorentina bench.

And heartfelt congratulations to Daniele De Rossi who, finally, is “captain present”: his “Magica” is the third Italian team to have given a 4-0 win to an English team in the Cups.
