Bora Valero declares eternal love in Florence: “I consider myself a Florentine. Viola fans are super” | A league
This afternoon the former midfielder of Fiorentina and Inter Borja Valero was the protagonist of an interview for the documentary “FAITH “new production of DAZN. The Spaniard spoke of his passion for Florence and for the Fiorentina purple shirt. These are his words:
“My family and I at one point talked to each other and said:”Florence has become our home, why not stay there?“. I am just a Florentine who has arrived adoptive, as soon as a Florentine has arrived adoptive, as soon as he has arrived there are many people from here, I met people of the city and from them I learned how to live and how to start things here. I consider myself practically a Florentine inside. It sounds strange, but I have many more friends in Florence than in Madrid, which is the city where I was born and raised. This makes us understand what Florence represents for me, apart from the artistic beauties I really like the ironic sense that these people have, I am very happy with them because I am a bit like that too “.
And he adds: “My friends joke a lot with me. They say that I go to the registry office and change my name, no longer Borja but “Grande Borja” because that’s what people on the street tell me. I’m nicknamed The Mayor, even if honestly I don’t know what it started from, but it’s very nice. If I were to run for elections someday, I would probably take some faces. I remember perfectly when the fans came to my house, it was a very important day for me. I remember that at the stadium there was a dispute against the club and then all the fans rushed to my house: they greeted me, thanking me from the heart for everything I had done. In the end I reciprocated their acknowledgment here to live, one of the ways for all the affection they have transmitted to me “
