world champion he has not grown. Too far, this bird, as he had with the Squadra Azzurra allowed to fly to Germany. To its unpredictable omissions to journalists - and how it would have only been like if he had clenched fist before a global audience! Because that has Cristiano Lucarelli made his famous than 101 goals for Livorno and the title of the Italian scorer 2005: The clenched, left thumb, stretched to the sky after scoring a goal. The symbolic gesture brought the convinced Communists Lucarelli, a fine of 30,000 euros one of dressing. Paolo Di Canio, who summoned earlier in Rome, Lazio had the Nazi salute, but apart legally pay only 10,000 euros fine. So much for the strange sense of justice of Italian officials.
Cristiano Lucarelli, the Serie A and his home town of Livorno Summer leave. He now plays for Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine. This is seen in Milan and Turin from dangerously low before the steppes of Asia and was previously at the most interesting as a fresh meat supplier for the replacement of benches Inter, Milan and Juventus. A single Ukrainian footballers had made in Italy career there but far fewer goals than last shot Lucarelli - Andrei Shevchenko.
against the Defense of Donetsk
Whether Lucarelli must meet in Kiev on Wednesday at the European Championship qualifier against Ukraine on Shevchenko is still not entirely clear. Head coach Roberto Donadoni was formerly Lucarellis coach at Livorno. He called the striker back from Tuscany to the Azzurri. But after the meager 0-0 win against France last Saturday Donadoni must now file. And Lucarellis half hour against the French was moderate.
other hand, will play against Italy, the entire defense against Shakhtar. Known only Lucarelli, so it was for the Nazionale probably never been as valuable. "We must be careful," says the man from Livorno. '"The Ukrainians are highly motivated and quick as lightning. You draw against Georgia, says nothing. Against us are acting differently. They know everything, the Serie A is finally here on television." He had but fun to annoy the audience in Kiev, teased work Emigrant Lucarelli, "because which may Shakhtar almost as much as the Italians.
about his new club, he says nothing but good. Donetsk a nice, friendly city, was "the football here is on the up and up, finally, Ukraine is hosting the Euro 2012." If Italy indeed been like Livorno is richer without Lucarelli although at eight million euros, but must at the league tremble -.. Shakhtar play, however in the Champions League this week against Milan and then, so are contemporary Cristiano candidly is because even the money ". The amount they have offered me, has played a certain role," said to four million in the year not bad for a striker, on October 4th, 32 years. of age.
But in Livorno, they feel betrayed. "Lucarelli venduto" wrote the left Ultrà the Brigate Autonomous Livornesi on their banners - Lucarelli has sold his soul. What does it matter that he has passed also at Shakhtar on the jersey number 99, after the foundation of the home stadium Brigades. Since boasts one, to be friends with the daughter of Che Guevara, as he always carries the likeness of Che under the jersey - and then he plays for money calculated on the ruins of socialism! A few years ago, Lucarelli, maybe a little premature to publish his memoirs. Title: "Keep your millions." It was a question that he had turned down love to party and a native city of 500,000 € per year gilt commitment to the class enemy AC Turin. "Keep your millions" was read in Livorno in the schools. Because of the moral example for the consumer horny youth.
only a 4 + from the newspaper's own
by a translation into Ukrainian is not known. But even now reads Livorno Lucarellis newspaper. On Sunday, the first issue of Corriere di Livorno, a local newspaper with a large sports section. Regardless, says Lucarelli. In fact, he missed the sports desk for his performance against France only four-plus. "I shall complain to the publisher," complained Lucarelli. Was not serious. The publisher, he is in fact himself, he flew not only the first in the Wild East, but has also established the first-ever soccer players a real newspaper. With eleven salaried journalists and a small team for a small print run of 12,000 pieces. "In addition to the editor all young people who had been without a permanent job."
He wanted to set an example in Livorno, Lucarelli said. Jobs in the city of red port workers, in 1921 the Communist Party of Italy was founded. Two million € Cristiano Lucarelli has invested in his paper. Half a year's salary. Thus one is bourgeois. If you also capitalist? Lucarelli by: "Always buy a newspaper even better than a yacht."
