Football: A Dream Return to Italy!

“Inter Milan’s stars are fading, Fiorentina are flying high, and no one can hold on to the throne in Serie A. With so many contenders battling for supremacy, who will rule them all? 2006–2026, twenty years! Since that summer in Germany, twenty years have been a long, somewhat reluctant blue farewell for Italian football. Twenty years is enough for a boy to reach middle age, and for stars to complete a full cycle across the night sky. We once thought that was only the beginning of a golden age. We never imagined it would be the final, unforgettable look back. We’ve grown old over these twenty years, and the way we watch football has changed, too. In those twenty years, we’ve witnessed legends grow old. Buffon’s weather-beaten eyes, Pirlo’s retreating figure, Chiellini’s final stand at Wembley. But for so many fans, the devotion to that one shade of blue, the only one they ever chose, has long since become part of their blood. We’re still waiting, waiting for the next dawn! Waiting for that bolt of lightning to streak across the skies of the Apennines once more!”
