I live in Genova ( Italian name) but club is Genoa football cricket ( Genoa as english name) founded by English people.
There are Genoa fc and Sampdoria uc.
Ferraris stadium ( for both) is very english.
The rivalry is very goliardic.
Incredible player.Batistuta was a great player but he always played with painkillers. Now he seems to be unable to ambulate. :-(
From May to October ( good weather) many people go in Nervi ( the last Neighborhood at east Genoa) , Bogliasco etc for “sun bathing “.I enjoyed my time there (many years ago). The main things I remember are an outdoor swimming pool in the hills, Nervi, some nice restaurants, and the aquarium. Great history too.
I remember watching them in 90's when David Platt played for them, if I recall they weren't too bad then???I live in Genova ( Italian name) but club is Genoa football cricket ( Genoa as english name) founded by English people.

Fiorentina is far from Juventus ( It is dangerous to go in Florence with Juventus’s scarf or shirt) but Batistuta was incredible.
I remember a player very loyal, “King Lion”.
I applaud those who honor football
Batistuta versus Manchester United

This is the way to celebrate a goal in a world cup final
Maldini, Baresi Baggio, Zoff were already playing in the highest paid League in the World, back in the 90's Serie A was as is the PL now, for the same reason Buffon all be it he was starting off his career back then Parma still had success with a couple of UEFA cups and 2 or 3 Copa Itallia's. Totti is different although he was Roma's highest paid player not too far off £100k per week.There's one thing that has to be admired but perhaps it more a culture thing or Italian mentality and that is over the years some if not most of the great Italian players of various generations have opted to stay in Italy and play their football! Maldini,Baresi,Totti,Baggio,Zoff,Buffon why this is the case I'm not sure because each of the players I've mentioned could have walked into any club side in Europe and made avast amount of money but obviously they were either well paid in Italy or money wasn't their ambition and fair play to them if it wasn't pity more players had the same attitude.
