E la chiamarono rivoluzione. Sacchi contro Maradona
While the Reflux was carrying the tail of the 1980s and all that would follow, Serie A was the richest league in the world. The best were coming to play in Italy, even El Pibe de Oro. Berlusconi, the master of television and the Spirit of the Age, had bought Milan, trusting in an inescapable destiny. And so, between the Italian champion Napoli and the new Milan the duel became epochal. Sacchi versus Maradona is the emblematic dualism, the supreme clash that delivered to the new times a soccer that could never be the same again.
Raffaele Cirillo was born in 1981 and lives in Paestum. A scholar of communication and mass media, he was a budding soccer player at the time of the events, in love with a ball and trepidatious about the less than desired turn that, in that epochal challenge, things had taken. More than 30 years later, he has decided to reopen the affair, convinced that there is still something unwritten and unsaid about it, or at least that it can be written and said differently.
