Del Piero, blitz in Moncalieri where the girls train

by admin

Ithe bull, some exercise, the game. Then, the usual races tried a thousand times, in short, normal situations for a workout: all very usual for those who play football unless Alex Del Piero is waiting for you on the field. Those encounters that happen once in a lifetime, especially if in addition to the usual handshake and the canonical autograph there is also the possibility of playing together with the former Juventus captain.

A unique day for the girls of Moncalieri women’s football who play in excellence and who saw none other than the 2006 world champion arrive at the training ground. The meeting between the incredulous players and Alex was made possible by Bruno Pace’s goalkeeper coach, longtime friend of Pinturicchio: “We have known each other for more than twenty years outside the world of football and we often hear by phone even now that Alex lives in the US. Then when he passes by Turin, see you: the other day I wanted to surprise the girls and I asked him if he wanted to kick some friends. Alex is always very kind and helpful and so we found ourselves at Campo Vignotto ».

Almost two hours of football between warm-up, bulls, shots on goal and a mini game with amazement in the eyes of the girls called up for training. Including captain Elisa Leone, 29, who grew up “on bread and Del Piero”, as she herself confides: “When Pace told me at the last moment there was going to be a surprise at the camp, I took half a day off from work. I couldn’t believe it: he is the first player I saw playing as a child, he was very cute with us, he even asked me to direct the warm-up. It’s just like on TV: human and very nice. We played, joked together, we had fun as if we were friends: he put himself on our level, we joked during the bullfight and at the end he complimented us. And then what a touch: he still puts the ball where he wants ».

For Giorgio Chiappino, president of Monca, an experience to remember: “It was incredible to see Alex playing on our field, Vignotto, which will see the training of the first team, Juniors, women’s football and above all the Soccer School which will involve many children from the area”.
