Francesco Calzona known as Ciccio, the new coach of Napoli, has a farmhouse in the countryside like Luciano Spalletti, the old (and never forgotten) coach of Napoli, champions of Italy. In Arezzo, in Valdichiana, 119 kilometers from Montaione in Valdelsa, the kingdom where Lucio chose to change his shield boots for work boots, before Italy called.
Coffee representative, traveling from morning to evening throughout the province with the van: a life as a midfielder-dreamer, like when he played.
But the friendship with Maurizio grew precisely amid the smell of the espresso from the bar consumed at the newsstand of Fossati, his companion in Castelnuovese, next to the Casa del Popolo in Matassino, a populous hamlet of Figline Valdarno.
The Champions League, the Scudetto almost missed, the 91 points, Mertens. Yes: it was he who transformed him first into a false new player, then into a true center forward and finally into the Prince Charming of goals. Dries also thanked him publicly. Brilliant.
