“In Verona they gave me a strange ticket, the worst Hellas fan came and said the exact words”
Enrico Vanzina told a historical background on his presence at the Verona Stadium in the year of the third Scudetto of Capello’s Roma.
Enrico Vanzinafilm director and author as well as a great fan of Roma, he was interviewed on the microphones of “Il Diabolico e il Divino” broadcast on New Sound Level 90FM: “In the 1980s, Rome acquired much greater media strength both in cinema and in television thanks to the tenacious action of President Viola, a shrewd man who could count on less economic strength than the teams in the North. Roma played spectacularly in those years, there was something magical on the pitch, you could feel the fact that Roma played better than the other teams. That Rome there had a particular soul and also put the fans of the other teams at attention. “
Vanzina, then, tells a background that brings into play the Verona fans, authors of a shameful banner displayed on the eve of last Sunday’s match against Napoli: “Year of the Scudetto? A little earlier I had started going to Controcampo and since Roma weren’t hugging all my friends well, everyone liked me and I liked them. The following year, as Roma raised their heads, he no longer liked me. I remember I went to see the game in Verona with the ticket bought by the president and they gave me a strange ticket; entering the stadium I found myself in the midst of all the Verona fans. At one point the baddest of all came up to me with a grim look and said the exact words: “you are the bravest of all to come here alone”. This fact of not being nice we still have it, but we also don’t like the others “.
