SASSARI. Magical night for a Nulvi fan at Wembley Stadium. After the decisive penalty scored against Spain by Jorginho and Italy’s arrival at the European Championships, Piergianni Pisanu, 28, managed to enter the field and crash into the Azzurri’s party.
In the video, which has made millions of views on the web, you can clearly see him between Verratti and second-in-command coach Evani, jumping in the midst of that blue riot. Just a few seconds, then Verratti himself turns around and mumbles something like: «And you who c. ..six? “. At that point the Nulvese is invited to leave the field but in the meantime he has earned his five minutes of fame: in the historic group photo of the Azzurri there is also him.
Piergianni from Tuesday is the new star of the web. In London for nine years, where he works as a waiter and salesman in a shopping center, Piergianni is a Milan fan. On Tuesday night he was at Wembley for the semi-final against Spain. «I was taken by euphoria – said Pisanu -. It was not something decided before, the gesture was instinctive. Seeing the Italian players was nice, but everything went by quickly, it wasn’t very long ». An absolutely peaceful gesture that sparked the disbelief of the Paris Saint Germain midfielder, Marco Verratti. “The invasion of the field – assured Pisanu – ended without sanctions”.
Also at Wembley another Sardinian fan showed up with the flag of Italy, that of the Quattro Mori and a sign with the words: “Barella mayor of Sestu”.
From one post to another. Defender Leonardo Bonucci was stopped by the stewards as he ran to celebrate towards the fans in the stands. A security officer stopped him, convinced he was a spectator who had invaded the field. Then the clarification. With Bonucci who burst out laughing and even hugged the steward.
Italy the other night made the whole of Sardinia go crazy with joy with carousels, tears of joy and caravans with horns. The squares, from Sassari to Cagliari, came together for one night in a tricolor party. Choirs for Nicolò Barella, for Salvatore Sirigu and for the whole national team. Now everyone is waiting for the magical night, that of the final on Sunday 11 July. “We will win – they shout in chorus – Italy deserves it”. (g.z.)
