In the Tuscan city, historically of the extreme left, the “lesser evil” is chosen by supporting the team of Cav. The rivalry with the Nerazzurri is still too strong
Livorno cheers for Silvio Berlusconi. It is not science fiction, but a reality given that in order to go up to Serie A at Pisa, he has to overcome the Monza del Cavaliere. Pisa or Berlusconi? Never in the life of a Leghorn could one think of such an onerous dilemma. But in the end, the history, rivalry and innate differences that divide these two cities less than 20 kilometers apart prevail. Better a dead man at home than a Pisan at the door: so goes a saying from Livorno which in these hours has turned into “better Berlusconi than a Pisan in Serie A.” It seems impossible, but that’s the way it is.
History
–
When Spinelli and Lucarelli’s Livorno debuted in Serie A at San Siro, it was 11 September 2004, and the amaranth fans showed up with the bandana on their heads “emulating” the Cavaliere, who one evening in Sardinia had put on a bandana to host Tony Blair, then British Prime Minister. Now Livorno is reborn of Excellence and on Sunday they play the playoff against W3 Maccarese to move up to Serie D and its fans have chosen the “lesser evil”. “The other night I lived a nightmare – said Renzo Meini, an old amaranth fan and communist from birth -, first I dreamed of Pisa being put down by Monza, then Berlusconi appeared to me and he was celebrating with me. blow but for once I thanked the Knight “. And like Renzo, many fans will cheer for Berlusconi: one-off can be there.
