Samp, Tirotta: "We played into Martian spaceship and the only one decided it was his blessed day"

How important episodes in its history to bind Sampdoria AC Milan's goal Cerezo year the league would be a good story, but there is, in my opinion, a Milan - Sampdoria important, perhaps even more important than that mentioned above. Milan was a long way from what would become with the advent of Berlusconi.

Sampdoria was a long way from what would become with the advent of Paul Mantz, the difference is that Paolo Mantovani was a former president of Sampdoria, and began to utter words that Genoa had never heard. There was talk of promotion to Serie A, Mantovani only that he spoke as if the promotion would only be a step towards more ambitious goals.

All statements, however, must be contextualized in the era in which they were called and it was a time when little was to be avoided relegation danger, the danger of failure. It was a time in which to think of anything more than survive was pure utopia. Paolo Mantovani spoke of goals, which were not mentioned his goals, but you could tell there was something important in the pipeline.

I think it was around Easter in 1980, certainly at the entrance to San Siro, a gift of newspapers had front page dedicated to Mantovani with the title: "Beware of this president." Certainly there was a Milan, which, although in Serie B for vicissitudes not only sports, the battleship was left to beat, with players on the field that we had only seen on the cards, but, to use the right emphasis for the day really special that day was played inside a spacecraft, Mars and the only field in which there was decided that that was his blessed day! Can not remember who passed the ball, a vertical passage, an intervention that fool Franco Baresi, who spooned el'extraterrestre, the image that follows is a photograph of the electronic scoreboard at the San Siro: MILAN SAMPDORIA 0 -1 Chiorri.

Excited that we were in their twenties, but mature enough to understand that day, the goal of one of the most beloved players from Sampdoria, which began there was a triumphal march culminated 11 years later with the conquest of the league. The magic words of Paolo Mantovani became easier to understand after the goal of Alviero.

One might believe, began an era!
