Ilaria Mauro, 33 years old, with the national team jersey
Reana del Rojale’s striker, former Inter and Fiorentina, also wore the Tavagnacco shirt
REANA DEL ROJALE. «I thank you Calcio, for giving me the opportunity to meet. Yes, meeting wonderful people, different cultures, opposite visions. Knowing victory that brings joy and defeat that pisses you off, but leads you to work even harder to achieve your dreams. You taught me what sacrifice, perseverance and patience are. You taught me that … you fall seven times and get up eight ».
Words that come from the heart of those chosen by Ilaria Mauro from Friuli to bid farewell to football. At the age of 33, Reana del Rojale’s striker, whom many remember as Tavagnacco’s bomber, has decided to hang up his shoes, after a complicated year due to a serious injury that forced her to stay in the pits for a long time.
Ilaria chose Instagram to greet and thank everyone. From Reanese, his first team ever (he played with the boys and scored like a thoroughbred bomber) to Inter, his last team. She has not forgotten her family, the fans, but not even Tavagnacco, Sand, Potsdam, Fiorentina – with whom she won a Scudetto – and, of course, not even the national team, that blue jersey she wore with great pride. . And then the medical staff, technicians, collaborators and teammates. But Ilaria, above all, wanted to thank him: football, with a capital letter, as she wrote. «I will always carry you with me, in the upper left pocket, where all the good things in Life go. Thanks”.
a real declaration of love by those who have honored football to the end, fighting every day so that running after a ball for a girl was nothing but normal. And his commitment has been recognized at all levels. She did it to the FIGC, which on the official Facebook page dedicated a poem in Friulian by Pierluigi Cappello to her, “Cercli”, starting with “Thanks Ila, this one that you won’t need to translate, is all for you. We know that football has given you so much, but you have given our world so much more. Good luck », concluded the Federation, while Fiorentina and Inter have prepared and published two contributions for you with the best images of your experiences in Viola and Nerazzurri.
