“Pelé and Maradona are examples of kids who grew up in poverty and managed to emerge. I got to know Diego well, I had the opportunity to appreciate him in the simple things. A teenager who at a certain point manages to be aware of his own abilities and he feels indebted to others for his talent. He considered his abilities a divine enlightenment. In his relationships, he always made the poor and the desperate love him going into the kitchen to give money to the dishwashers.”

We also involve the Bennato fan, as well as the Bennato sociologist: who do you like today?

“I really like him at the moment KeanI like it viscerally. I support him, as well as Napoli obviously. I like how he moves on the pitch and I respect him because he is a good, very strong boy. And I’ll tell you one thing, since I’ve followed some of his interviews: I respect him also because… he still uses the adverb ‘however’. An adverb which is indicative of humility and which in fact is no longer used: today we use ‘having said this’, which is self-referential, arrogant, presumptuous… Be wary of anyone who says ‘having said this!’”.

Others who hit her?

“Well, Dimarco. He is the engine of Inter, the pillar on which the whole team rests. He has a magical foot: from the flank he constantly throws the ball where he wants, where he decides. At the moment there is no Inter, there ‘It’s Dimarco. I see Napoli, I see Milan, I see Juve… and I see Dimarco“.
