The owner Moratti has him affectionately dedicated, players have won - indeed, swept - especially for him on the fifteenth of the whole story takes tricolor durably marked with the name of Giacinto Facchetti, Inter copy flag (as a player, from executive, as president), kidnapped on September 4 by a sudden illness that however absurd tore before the eyes of the countless people who knew him and loved him. They removed the eyes, but not from the heart of all the other sports that could do that to estimate a person's style and impeccable virtue; exceptionally correct despite a physical statue that could bring substantial benefits while still furrowed with continuous skill the left side of the green rectangle, always kind and helpful to any fan or journalist had needed him, quietly elegant in extricating from the controversy as well as reports on, faultlessly honest in a world - that the ball Italic deemed unworthy of even the recent 's organizing the final phase of a Europe - where lawlessness and arrogance have made it often sway.
A world that has been his life, a world champion born in Treviglio to July 18, 1942 got a lot of joy and some disappointment. Has spent a career as a player wearing only his shirt of Inter, with which debuted in May 1961 in a race that the Fairs Cup in Birmingham then followed four league titles, two Champions Cups, two Intercontinental Cups and a Cup Italy before bidding farewell to football player in 1978, almost thirty-six. In between there were, however, also squandered a championship between the last day of the tournament poplar Mantua 1966 / '67, a vanished years before nell'ingiusto play-off final with Bologna and two of the greatest continental competition lost against Celtic and Ajax respectively.
But perhaps the biggest disappointment of Facchetti was the defeat against Brazil gained during the event in Mexico in 1970 that reached the last act, did not allow him to lift the prestigious trophy to the sky as captain of the national team (which instead did Olimpico in Rome during the European victory in 1968): The only important missing link between the many laurels won by the athlete that - especially with its discoverer Helenio Herrera, histrionic Argentine coach of the team that will always approached for the adjective Large - invented the role of quarterback fluidifying, garnishing the career of 75 goals in 634 appearances for the shirt of the Beloved and 3 goals in 94 appearances with the blue one, with whom he played for three World Cup and wore the armband seventy times. Monument of talented and professional football that has made an entire nation proud.
bitterness, that the defeat against Pele and his companions, perhaps only equal to that gained in Hyacinth thirty-six springs later with the outbreak of "Moggiopoli" a system which has highlighted the dirt so that, for various time, did not permit comparisons on an equal footing: a very hard blow for the clear moral integrity of the man who became president in Inter January 2004, but at least had the merit of making the headlines jump something which the former defender from Bergamo had always suspected.
potential regret is that, in all probability, only from that fateful September afternoon a number of you will be circumspect about what need would there be people like Facchetti in the field or behind the desks of the universe football ours " Much bigger than the human
