With the protagonists less and less available for interviews (due to club policy: players must speak as little as possible), luckily the family members occasionally take care of offering some gems, some nuances on the blue heroes. As happened yesterday with Marta Gabrielloni who gave a long interview to Daniele Bertocci of Lanotiziasportiva.com. Telling about hidden corners and curiosities linked to the most loved player in Como. Marta is a teacher, she is from Jesi and had Ale as her groomsman at her wedding. «We are a very large family, with four male brothers-she said. Football has always been at home, for decades we have been going to watch our brothers’ matches, following news and sports channels. In other words we have always had football within our family unit. And football has always been in Alessandro’s DNA. Just think that, when he was little, he was born with one foot a little further inside. So it had to be corrected with chalk. But he, yes or no walking, already wanted the ball. He always wanted her no matter what. We had Subbuteo and he often took the machines instead of the Subbuteo players. Even with these he pretended to play a football match. Many memories!”.
It’s funny to remember a premonition, which hasn’t yet come true, but which could be getting closer: «When we were very young we went to see a Juventus match. And an innocent Ale said to mum: look mum, sooner or later I’ll play with it at this stage. With or against, but I’ll play” Other experiences: “He was appreciated a lot in Taranto. They even made a holy card for him. San Gabriele is celebrated there. And to celebrate it they made San Gabrielloni. They even made a holy card for him.”
