Spain-Italy is also played on books. There are little professors, who want to study – from Cambiaso to Meretuntil Good morning – and there are those who like it Yamal laminae he is forced to do it. Even during the pre-European retreat. “I had to bring some school homework to do since I’m in the 4th year,” admitted the young Spanish talent, who will have to take the exam tomorrow against Italy and the books will be of little use there. Football and study, but not always. «I’m also following the lessons via the web, I hope the professors have mercy and don’t question me», concludes the Spaniard. The coach of the Red Furies, Luis de la Fuente, is ready to put him to the test, he awaits answers from the sixteen-year-old phenomenon, more from his legs than from his head. In football, sometimes studying is an obstacle, for many it becomes fundamental, a basis for the future. It’s an impediment for someone like Yamal, who is sixteen years old, with all eyes on him and who finds himself playing, as a star, in a European Championship like this one.
The blues enrolled at university or graduated
For those over the age of twenty, it becomes a lifestyle choice which, as the Italians Buongiorno and Cambiaso claim, “can only be useful for opening the mind”. The two Italian footballers have launched an appeal to those who will begin their high school exams tomorrow, those 526,317 desperate souls who will spend the night in front of books and notes. The kids support the Azzurri and they support the students in a delicate moment full of (sometimes exaggerated) fears. The book, the study are almost never key elements in the life of a footballer. But there are examples and they are striking. Exceptions, but which are multiplying over the years. Chielliniwho lifted the last trophy with Italy, even has two degrees, a master’s degree and a three-year degree in Business Administration, obtained from the School of Management and Economics of the University of Turin while he was still active. In the Italy that won at Wembley in 2021 there was also Pessina, studying Economics and Business at Luiss. In that of Spalletti, the “intellectuals” Raspadori stand out (who in 2021 was only at the beginning of his studies), in his third year of Sport Sciences and Cambiaso, who also has the dream and desire to win with Juventus and with the national team, but also with that of getting a degree. Among the Italians there are also Professor Meret, a student at the San Raffaele Telematic University of Rome and Doctor Buongiorno, a graduate in Business Economics. «Studying is very important: culture and study open the mind, allow you to better manage situations both inside the field, in understanding the coach’s instructions, but also outside in interacting with others», the defender’s truth of Turin.
Messages for graduates
«There is a bit of tension before the final exam – Buongiorno recalls -, but it is a positive tension that allows you to do the best you can. It is the conclusion of a five-year journey that should be enjoyed to the fullest. Studying is very important: culture and study open the mind, allow you to better manage situations both inside the field, in understanding the coach’s instructions, but also outside in interacting with others.” «Enjoy this moment because it will remain in your heart. Let yourself go, don’t be afraid and don’t be fearful – the message from Andrea Cambiaso, broadcast during ‘Casa Azzurri Live Germania’, the daily strip broadcast on Vivo Azzurro TV -. Graduation is a beautiful memory, the end of a course of studies that I completed thanks to my parents and of which I am proud. I underline that it is very important to finish your studies: it can give a different space to the mind, especially to those of us who are very focused on football.”
