Italy Ireland, 1 ‘of silence and the national team on the field with mourning on the arm for 5 former Azzurri

Italy took to the pitch with mourning on their arms and a minute of silence was observed before kick-off at the ‘Tardini’ stadium in Parma for the match against Northern Ireland, valid for qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar 2022 in memory of five former Azzurri who disappeared in the last year: Pietro Anastasi, Pierino Prati, Mario Corso, Mauro Bellugi and Paolo Rossi. During the minute of recollection, some images of the 5 players were projected on the maxi screens of the stadium. The speaker of the ‘Tardini’ also recalled the 19-year-old Daniel Guerini, a Lazio Primavera player, who died yesterday in a car accident.
