Gigi Riva impressed: his words.

Cagliari City Council and Tommaso Giulini’s club are working to build a new stadium. There is also a desire to name the facility after Gigi Riva: “I leave it at that. I am honored by this decision, I cannot find the words to express it. Obviously I do not claim anything, but I can say that I am proud that in this city, which has become my home, there is so much consideration for me,” he told L’Unione Sarda.

Gigi Riva is a Cagliari legend: he played for the Sardinian club from 1963 to 1977, collecting more than 150 goals. With the Rossoblù team he won the historic Scudetto in the 1969-1970 season.
