Right or left, header or penalty. We know that scoring to win is important, but there are those who have reached an important number. Dybala, Zapata, Belotti and Lautaro, in fact, are the only 4 active players in Italy to have exceeded the 100 goal mark in Serie A. Lions on the pitch, but above all off. Stefano Tacconi, former Juventus goalkeeper is recovering from the brain aneurysm that struck him in April 2022. “I was like a three-year-old child. I basically had to learn how to do everything again.” A difficult journey, which the former goalkeeper now recounts in the book L’arte di Parare, finding courage to face the shots of life, due out on 8 October and which will also be presented on 11 October at the Sports Festival of Trent.

Alessia Orro, gold with the national women’s volleyball team at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is preparing to start the championship, after the Super Cup, with her team: Vero Volley. “I am someone who is never satisfied. But winning the Olympics with Velasco made me click: I play simpler and above all more serene, I care more.” From golds that make history, to the double silver of Filippo Macchi, who in the individual final was the protagonist of a referee controversy right at the last point. “I dream of that day many, too many times. A nightmare, I don’t even win when I sleep.” But now he’s moved on. “A trip to Africa taught me the true meaning of Hakuna Matata (without worries) and it is a nice way to face life, which is why it is useless to dwell on the hits of a final. Let’s think about the next one.”
