Campobasso tracks down Marco, Cirrincione calls him and he is moved

His declaration of love to the Wolf it struck and surprised everyone, even this writer. That clumsily after that interview, Marco did not ask for references or telephone number. But the Campobasso fans, pleased and amazed by the 45-year-old from Milan’s attachment to the red and blue colours, promptly reacted with that feeling of welcome that this land never spares. “We want him at the stadium”, “Look for him”, “Beautiful example” are just some of the messages that filled the message boards of the social pages where the link was shared.

The Campobasso Fc club suffered the same emotional blow compared to Marco’s statements. Vice President Nicola Cirrincione a few hours after the publication of the interview: “We have to find him, we want to invite him to the stadium”.

They all moved. And a fan, Michele Silvestri, with connections in Milan, he did more: he forwarded the link to all his friends in Lombardy, hoping that in the WhatsApp chats, that link could meet the interest of someone who recognized Marco. So it was. The Facebook message arrives to Michele: “Hi, I’m the wife of Marco the Milanese, thanks to all of you”.

Shortly thereafter, Marco’s telephone number is in Cirrincione’s address book who immediately calls him from the United States: “Hi Marco, I’m Nicola Cirrincione, the vice president of Campobasso Calcio and I’m honored to make your acquaintance but I hope to shake your hand in person at our stadium.”

Marco is incredulous and it is he who tells it immediately afterwards: “I don’t believe it – he reports on the phone with his voice broken by emotion – The vice-president of Campobasso, Nicola Cirrincione, has just called me and I am as excited as a child. I’m working but I don’t understand anything anymore. I can’t even find the words, it’s a unique emotion.”

He is clearly emotional, his voice interrupts several times: “I didn’t expect it – he continues – Unfortunately I don’t like social media, luckily my wife intercepted the link. In San Benedetto I experienced an extraordinary day thanks to Campobasso. Now everything that comes will be beautiful. Forgive me but I’m really excited.”

The club invited him to the city for the final match of the championship. Marco can’t stand it “I feel like a child but Campobasso always has this effect on me”. We are waiting for you Marco: Campobasso, the stadium, cavatelli and cod arracanato. This is Campobasso. This is Molise.
