The song that was all the rage in the Italian dressing room during the Euro

He loves Diego Maradona, he tattooed it on his left leg, he is an idol of the Neapolitans and he broke it in the Eurocup. The skilled Lorenzo Insigne led. "It is already our ritual." The chemistry behind a winning group always has something unique and difficult to understand from the outside. In the case of the European champion Azzurra, the secret is in these phrases.

"But what a diet! I like meatballs and milanesa, I have eaten at four, I'm already hungry and it's seven." While the English sang "It's coming home", the Italians chanted that at all hours, It seems crazy, but it's true. It is a Neapolitan song practically unknown before the Euro, performed by Luca il Sole di Notte, a fishmonger with a passion for music. His store is called Pescaderia de los Artistas, and it is clear why.

Lorenzo Insigne, with the complicity of Donnarumma and Immobile, the one who brought the song to the Nazionale dressing room, which was not a great success at first, but then conquered everyone. The first time the Azzurri sang it in public was after the victory with Wales, at the end of the group stage.

After eliminating Belgium they unleashed on the plane with an unstoppable Pessina. Considering how superstitious Italians are and that the World Cup will be played in just a year and a half, it's easy to imagine the next step.
