Alessandro Del Piero, also known as Pinturicchio, was one of the key players of the 1990s and early 2000s and one of my favourite players. He was not a striker as such although he could play as a false 9, he was a scoring midfielder with so many resources that, in fact, today he is […]
San Siro will be demolished because it is not of cultural interest for the city, that is how crude the news sounds confirmed by the Mayor of Milan. Initially, I had planned to write about this stadium later on, but this news has made me want to share my experience at San Siro now. It […]
New post about stadiums and, taking advantage of the fact that we started this section talking about Old Trafford, we are going to continue in Manchester, but this time to talk about the Etihad Stadium, the stadium of the neighbouring Manchester City.

Manuel Rui Costa, one of the most elegant midfielders I can remember, is part of that class of players who expect something to happen when the ball reaches their feet, that’s why he was called O Maestro. He began his professional career at Benfica, the club he loves, winning a league and a Portuguese cup […]
This first post is dedicated to the legendary English striker Alan Shearer. Alan Shearer scored more than 260 goals in Premier League between Shouthampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United where he’s an authentic legend and where he developed the most of his football career, although the only title of Premier League he got was with […]
