After miracle against Intermoved and without a voice, he said that «football is beautiful». Factual. And who knows if after the miracle against Roma he won’t say the same. The tears there will certainly be no shortage of them voice probably yes. It would be equally factual. One miracle after another48 hours that reek of history. Gennaro Ruotolo he is Italian Champion Genoa he is Italian Champion. Like on June 28, 2021, like at the Orogel Stadium in Cesena. Always after beating Inter in the semi-final (5-4), always after beating the Rome in the final (2-1), again with Gennaro Ruotolo. It will take him days, maybe weeks, to recover.
1083 days have passed, It seems like yesterday. It is the closing of a circle, opened by Ditches And Vassal and closed by Venturino And Roman. The two golden boys, the most representative men together with Advise (sumptuous), Ahanor (everywhere), Ekhator (giant) e Arata, the captain and many, too many other things. The man of destiny against Inter, the man who raises it to the sky «until caressing mother Elisa». It’s for her too.
SUNRISE AND SUNSET
While the west grandstand He sang (“Genoa, Genoa, Genoa“) and the east of exalted («Come on guys, like this»), Lorenzo Venturino let himself go in one of his descents: quick in the short run, constant in the long run and the ball there, always stuck to his right. Ruotolo makes a virtue of necessityplaces Sancinito on the right and his protégé advances alongside Romano, honorary member of the round table of talents. Genoa has the upper hand right therein the middle ground between the couple Dodde–Fazio (the second favorite to Grossi) e Ekhatormarked strictly by Golic (among the best against Atalanta) and therefore less devastating than usual. Stay a turn to the side (17′) and little else. Nardozi and Solbes aren’t doing much better. And while the west grandstand responded («Rome, Rome, Rome»), Filippo Reale dominated in his happy place, the left lane. Compared to the full-strength semi-final (Captain Della Rocca outinside Obleac and three-way defense), therefore with the license to kill. Mirra comes closethe right arm: the right from twenty meters is spectacular, Advice makes photographers happy and saved (42′).
From sunrise to sunset of the first half, from the back and forth Roman–Nardozi (free kick wide, left-footed blocked) to the right from thirty meters Venturino. The epilogue? A heart mimed under the east stand, iconic. The plot? A poisonous conclusion just right to beat Kehayov, more effective than beautiful (46′).
CHANGE
It had been in the air for at least five minutes, ask Venturino and Deseri (38′ and 39′). AND definitely deserved, see Tanrivermis’ half-revolution: studied at half-time, applied at the beginning of the second half. In a quarter of an hour everything changes a bitin order: the module (from 3-5-2 to 4-2-3-1), three interpreters (Tumminelli, Pedro Lopes and Nardozi out, Litti, Ivkovic and Della Rocca in) and theattitude (less prudent, more unscrupulous). AND potentially even the match. There’s everything except aiming: first with Litti (7′ st), then with Solbes (11′ st) and finally with Ivkovic (14′ st). Strictly in order of danger.
It’s the last one half an hour is on fire. While the eastern grandstand smelled the feat («Here we go guys…»), Manuel Nardozi and Sergei Levak they engaged Consiglio… for the last time (29′ st and 31′ st). Then it is only Genoa, the final sprint. Open from right hand from Venturino (always him), closed by coppa raised to the sky by Arata (the captain) and interspersed with a bit of everything. The (generous) penalty awarded for Della Rocca’s foul on Grossi, the (perfect) conclusion of Roman and the red card directed at Litti, a reflection of a Roma team that loses the game and its lead. AND Genoa triumphand the third Scudetto in rossoblù history after those of 2010 (Spring) and 2021 (Under 18).
