When Gasperini invented goals for Vis Pesaro but was already a coach on the pitch

Before the final in Dublin. Before the Europa League and the Italian Cup. Before Xabi Alonso. Before storming Anfield. Before designing a football that half of Europe (and the other half as well) envies at Atalanta, Gian Piero Gasperini was an excellent footballer. Youth in Juventus, the mark left with the shirts of Palermo and Pescara. With one constant: when he played, he was already a coach on the pitch. They also remember him well in Pesaro when at the age of 34, with the same hairdo as today (only less white) and a long CV in which the 10 goals scored in Seria A stood out, he took the red and white number 10 shirt. In the first year it was immediately promoted to C1 ahead of Carrarese, Montevarchi and Rimini with 2 goals scored against Teramo and Giulianova. He was the Vis of the Pazzaglia-Tentoni goal duo, with Mosconi in defense and Olive (9 goals in the championship) in midfield.

Salvation before hanging up your shoes

In the second and final season, before hanging up his boots, he saved Pesaro on the pitch, in a team that had the most promising young player in Amoruso. The away games with the legendary player were indelible Bibi Davani driving the red and white bus, the indelible victory at the Nereo Rocco (it was the baptism for the new Trieste stadium) 1-0 (goal by Pellegrino) against the Triestina of the future coach of the red and white recovery (7 years later) Daniele Arrigoni, also he is in his last season as a footballer.
