“I’m a normal 21-year-old boy who has been lucky enough to do what he has always liked. And I try to enjoy it in the most natural way possible.” If it is true that the majority of colleagues (at least, those with six-figure salaries) live suspended in a bubble, the walls lined with small whims and great luxuries, impervious to the transience of things and the worries of us mere mortals, Giovanni Fabbian floats in a dream. In his first season in Serie A, on 12 April he scored five goals, a lot for a midfielder, which earned his Bologna 15 points and earned him the growing trust of a meticulous and inflexible coach like Thiago Motta. He doesn’t always see the pitch from the first minute, the product of the youth team of an Inter that retains a 12 million buy-back right against him, but he sees it, and often leaves his mark on it: for someone who comes from just one championship among the greats, in B in Reggina (seasoned with 8 other goals) it’s stuff to raise your antennas. This is why Fabbian, the sly face of a good boy framed by a tuft of hair and a smile that would convince any mother to give him her daughter in marriage, seems sincere when he talks about what is happening to him with the tone and eyes of the protagonist of a film by Disney.
