The derby is Real Villasanta’s
Needless to get around it. For Real Villasanta, the derby with the Arcore Lions is not a match like any other. It is the match of matches. The president is missing, who is in the kitchen and in trepidation is waiting for the result to shape the dreaded speech the next day, when there will be the company’s Christmas lunch. On the other hand, dozens of green-and-white supporters land in the land of Bunga Bunga: mothers, fathers, wives, girlfriends, lovers, managers, players on the roster but on crutches, and old glories, who are the most dangerous, because they talk about the past all the time, forgetting the planing they took when they took the field, and they put pressure from the opening whistle.
They are the most dangerous, because they talk about the past all the time, forgetting the planing they took when they took the field, and they put pressure from the very first whistle.
Between former opponents on the bench and on the pitch and, ready to go, one of them throws a giant-size boot at a rival. The referee, not a lion’s heart, after consulting with himself decides it is yellow. In reality it was at least orange, and in the stands the first proseccoes begin to go sideways. Then Real scores a great goal and the match director, improvising himself as linesman, decides to call it off for an ultra-doubtful offside. Even the nearby church of Sant’Eustorgio begins to shake. Suddenly the Lions score, in goal a former, who does not exult: appreciable gesture. Before halftime, however, the guests equalize, and so we go to rest at 1-1.

The game restarted and the green-and-whites took the lead with a cineteca goal, after all, the DNA does not deceive: if your brother plays in the Serie A, and is also captain of his team, you have the cards in order to do a great number and provide a great ball to one of your teammates, in turn good at not missing. In the stands, between toasts, the countdown begins: on ‘How much longer?’ number 741 the 3-1 goal also arrives. The derby is Real’s: good all, even the opponents, but those of Villasanta a little more. And for the souvenir photo even the mayor arrives, holding the sign with the historic result.
