After reading this beautiful article I have to change my mind about Vieri Bobone great!
Bobo Vieri new age
no longer has the Cayenne, is on the train. He lives in a kind of Noah's Ark, is engaged and goes to bed early.
Magazine: the number 45 on newsstands
I swear I knew. I have witnesses. I was left alone in London (apart from the tavern Mimmo Corso Garibaldi and a few others) to believe that it was not finished Bobo Vieri, Fiorentina, which for him was not a Arzilla for former Villa striker. Of course, after the score at Villareal and Naples all celebrate it but I went to see him in very difficult times. Three weeks ago, before Villareal and Naples. From his old supporter staff (six years on the sidelines of San Siro singing goals Bobo Bobo Bobo scoring goals), I realized that he had returned Bobo Bobo (goal average: one every two games and the games are 400). I had guessed at the beginning of the season when gave a slap to his companion Mutu, who had forgotten to pass the ball. Next action Vieri had already eaten a goal on an assist from Mutu clearly aware, and had laughed in a spasm of self-irony, very rare in football, that hilarity had infected even the morose Mutu throughout the City of Florence. Bobo Vieri
The new train is the training (Prato-Firenze Campo di Marte station just around the corner from the stadium) and not more Porsche Cayenne. No longer in the disco and not around in the triangle of Milan fashion, but lives in the countryside, surrounded by animals like Noah's ark, and go to bed early in the evening.
Breakfast at McDonald's
I spent with him one day. We had lunch together. I followed the legendary Campini (as in Florence called the training pitches, and has been for me one afternoon because Proust was a boy I was going to look and then Antognoni Baggio who train). I took with him a coffee at Bar Marisa (University of purple football, coach and every customer is Bobo, entering: "A greeting to Mr. '), and walked among the statues of Piazza della Signoria (Bobo:" I'm kind monuments but here is really nice. ") I have heard noting his emphasis composite Tuscan-Milan-Australian (example: say "all" English: almost 'cci-ci-u'). And I understand that journalists and fans (and even some managers) with him the cane. Vieri is a kind of Hulk as sometimes described. Indeed, it is polite (it will be for the French mother, Nathalie, a former model?), Passionate (soccer and life), ironic and funny. I have a few example of how it's done Vieri excerpt shows some of our long conversation.
I, at first, after the presentations: "Pardon, I did not understand, we give you or of you?". He: 'A little you, a bit' her, as it is. " With the mystery, the great Prandelli, you dates you or her? 'A little you, a bit 'her, as it is. " Later. We are at barettino near the stadium to eat something before exercise. I take the meatballs in red sauce. Bobo: "You made the right choice. But I eat like a madman, eat like a dead man: hamburger, two slices of dried beef, salad plain, still water. I eat well if not I become one hundred pounds. My fish'n'chips eat every day, I'd drive to McDonald's, I would drink dozens of cans of coke. " How much weight now? "89 pounds. I was on holiday 96. " Weight? "In the whole career, I weighed 90, 91. Now I am perfect, I just buy some more 'power because I was still a year doing nothing. " How do you do? "Running, gym, running, gym." The notorious repeated? "Yes, repeated a thousand feet, one thousand and five." The conversation turns inevitably Inter. It was true love? "At Inter I gave it my all. Mentally, physically. It was my life. I love the whole ".
And why did you leave then? "Because they asked me to do the termination of the contract, because I wanted more after all I've done for them, after what executives had told me, President, Inter Milan here, Inter there, you're the 'Inter ... I am proud. " As a subscriber, I apologize for the Inter history, unpleasant to say the least, of espionage against him. "Why me of her now?". To give a certain solemnity to what I'm saying. Forgive them? "No, something like that is a disgusting ever seen. There is everything and more and will come out. Now I can not talk. " The Five
May
The bad times are behind us. The worst was the World Cup for Italy (where it is striker Vieri holder for ten years) won and that Vieri has been lost. It is then that you thought about quitting? "I was disappointed and angry because, you know, I do this job all my life, was the World ... was the most important trophy in the world. Then the disappointment I pass, I resume playing. The knee was hurting and then I had to make. A problem of cartilage. I have smashed so disfigured. The blood becomes a layer of cartilage that protects you. But I had to stand still and start over four months has been hell. "
bad times: the fifth day of May Inter losing a championship already won. What happened? "You know that when I say that on May 5 the blackout?". Again? "Do I ever. I cried, cried for months on end. " But what happened? "It happened that we have made four pappardelle those of Lazio. Not much has happened. I think that, on the eve, I telephoned my mother: Mom, come see the game will be an unforgettable day. She said, okay, I'm coming. "
Men or journalists?
I usually hate sports journalists Bobo (this is not the reason why I love him though, I confess, it helps). He once said in their press conference that was more man than all of them put together (not hardly believe it). "The problem is that they are pandering. Behind the criticism of journalists is often envy, malice (when you're on top for so many years by the discomfort). I do not talk with people who behave in this way, do not go to greet them. It is normal that we have it with me. I always say what I think. Of course there are serious people, respectable even among journalists. But there are these older journalists who want to control. I do not command a shit. Each has its own character and I am so, point and stop. I do not have anything to anyone, what I did, I did everything myself. Got it? I grew up in Australia, a free country, I went to school with the skateboard, with BMX, shorts and flip flops from morning till night for ten years. " Did you surf? "No, I played cricket." Cricket is ... "With the bat, yes." Those who play in England. "Bravo." You have to dress a certain way, white pants. "Yes, elegant." But it is not boring? "No, it's beautiful, I'm in love with the sport." About love, in an interview you said that you went in sex hundred miles an hour and an hour to go ... "Forget it private, please."
happily engaged
At first the fans did not violate you wanted. There was the chorus: It was almost three, were out with me ... Vieri continues, smiling: "Bobo Vieri ale. In fact, the first day, people applauded me with great affection. " There was also a banner: Vieri fixed point if there is to know Melissa. "That I had not seen. Vieri fixed point if there is to know Melissa? So I'm on the bench. " Jealous? "I'm very open in the relationship, not one that goes to check ...». (Integer). "So if the other one wants to do something does it. And so 'sti cocks, live well to the report, one can not live with terror. Here in Florence I enjoy life, I'm twenty, I do what I do for football and I do the most, got engaged, I have a good relationship, we love and in agreement. " It means something that is Sardinian as Melissa Elizabeth Hurley? "Look, Melissa was born in America, in Boston." We return to Fiorentina fans. In my opinion, you've finally won, after the slap in Mutu, with Juventus when you have almost hanged Chiellini you had when you were shot down repeatedly in the area to score. "If it was not that rigorous." Yes, discipline and expulsion for a foul Vieri reaction. "Expelled Vieri? Why I took the neck? ". Oh, yes. "Maybe you're right. The referee gave me the yellow when I said it was almost red. But if the referee gives the penalty I do not take Chiellini by the neck, no light? ". Chiellini but did not tell you anything? "We saw in the locker room and that was it. I play, I make war with everyone, I take and do, then it was over when it ends, I'm going home. You know, growing up in Australia you have that mentality there. "
Gino Biondo
Let's do some 'history. One night in Sydney you, cricketer and son of a misunderstood champion of football (Bob Vieri) Mancini and Vialli see on TV ... "It became my idols. And in 14 years and a half I say I will go there to play football in Italy. And my father: where the fuck you go to play soccer in Italy. And I take the plane. " But when you arrived in Italy as a play? "How I played in Australia." That is, you had no idea of \u200b\u200btactics? "Nothing, I just thought the goal." Did you this sconquassante left. "Only the left. Even now I only have one. " It is not true, I remember that beautiful goal from the right with Samp: Recoba affect the bottom upside down ... "No, it was the Chino, Martins was ...». Right, Martins back and kick you on the fly right if they make a goal that falls San Siro ... "Yes, but right nor wrong before making an eight thousand. Bravo, however, remember. " I was always terrified of the center of the crisis that is not scoring for months (like the blank page of the writer). "For me, it is luck. When I was in Milan every time the goalkeeper parried to me, I took the post. I wanted to score in every way. When you want to score goals to force you do not. The goal will do it alone. " They say that living in a kind of zoo. "Come on, a little 'dog'. Gino is there? "What do you know Gino?". I remember an old interview. You asked if I missed Lippi as coach. Answered: I just nostalgia Gino, my dog, who is in Prato. "Now Gino has ten years'. A labrador blond, right? "Yes, a blonde, but it is a golden retriever." The other dogs? "There's Queen is a hyena, a female Doberman. Then the latest addition to Jicky, a dachshund, he commanded her. " All there the ark of Bobo? "I then geese, turkeys, a turkey of 20 pounds American, I have two peacocks, I watch them often, people of color so strange."
Pretty Julia
You once said that Pretty Woman Julia Roberts and had your movies and your favorite actress. And now? "Now Julia Roberts Pretty Woman." You said you wanted to know that even Julia Roberts. Then you're successful? "Look, I am now engaged, they are no longer single so certain things ...». Ok, understood. A few weeks ago, in very difficult times, Lippi said: do not forget Vieri, is a true champion. "With Lippi I had a fight. If we do not rise, we kill. He is Tuscan like me. Says what to say in the face point and stop. We quickly countered, I was 22 years. " What happened? "Nothing, what a game, I do not remember now. I am entering the 40th for the first time and drives me a few minutes. In the locker room fight. Peruzzi is the evening at my house. " The goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi, a big one. "One of the most good and brave people I have met in football. In short, Angelo says: Come on, let's eat. Lippi was in the restaurant. Go and ask your pardon, I said Angelo. Vado by Lippi: I'm sorry mister. We talk, it ends there. That is, sends me in the stands for a month, but he knew that with me enough to say things. Then it hurts Boksic, jump a bit 'of games, Lippi puts me and from there I was not taken again throughout the second round. It felt like I was there, I was a bit 'like him and from there our relationship has been growing at two thousand per hour. " A cookie
Ringo and sleep
Let's talk about high society, were part of the tour Lele Mora in Sardegna. "I went around that there." And now? "I was still a year and I understand many things, many, many friends. After the two year detention operations have changed a lot. " You know that many saints were discovered just after a period of immobility following injury, disease? "In those situations you know people, you know that 90 percent is with you because he wants money, wants to exploit the moment. I cut so many people, almost all. " In the evening he drove
Vieri in Prato by train. We score two cookies Ringo, two in number. "You know, I wanted and needed to go home, to return to live with my mom, going to training on the train. The preparation I do is so hard that often shove me in bed at ten. See, now I'm just a little 'tired'. Really now, you go to sleep? "But no! Then I go out and do three. Bobo Vieri Bobo Vieri Ale ale.
