Beppe Bergomicaptain of the Italy team of the Magic Nights of Italia 90, is present this morning at the funeral of Toto Schillaci. These are the words of the former defender to the journalists present and collected by TMW: “It seemed right to be here to remember Toto and be close to his family. The exploit of Italia 90? At every event there is always a boy who stands out. Totò was there because he deserved to be called up: it is no coincidence that they are called Magic Nights, it was the magic of those extraordinary matches that he was able to interpret”
A memory of Schillaci?
“We lived the year and a half at Inter intensely, but the goal against Austria has remained in my memory. I like to emphasize the person, or I have always said that he was a good soul. It was his spontaneity, his way of living life and football. In the ’90 World Cup he was the hero of all of us, he was giving us a dream”.
Totò’s story shows that you can start from the bottom and achieve great things. It is also an example for many young people
Today’s youth have some good things and we have to bring them out, but today’s youth want everything right away, instead you have to work hard to achieve something. Totò is an example, as there have been others in football and in life, but from that point of view he is an example”.
