Thank you 1000 (and 45): the extraordinary undefeated record of Julia Reginato

“In a football team there are nine roles and two professions: The goalkeeper and the striker”.
(Dada, world champion with Brazil in 1970).

Each goalkeeper – regardless of one's career, category, degree of training and state of wear gloves – the lo: that the extreme defender is a vocation, a mission from the times almost ecumenical, a way of being that is not limited to mere dynamics of the game. In the field, that space of 7,32 x 2,44 meters – suspended between the tangibility of uprights and crosspieces and the ephemeral immateriality of what separates them – It has the character of a sacred and inviolable altar, the ultimate deciding economy bulwark of a battle, the final outpost to defend until every ounce of his strength in any situation. Why be a goalkeeper means above all to honor a contract, signed in blood and sweat, with their teammates based on key principles, as simple as fundamental: confidence, dedication and… “The goalkeeper impregnates personality the whole team”. (Dino Zoff)

Then, an immaculate conception made of ordered administrations and feats of absolute level – last, in chronological order, the crazy reflection on close range hit the player lariana Roventi Sunday. Numbers and gestures that speak a clear language player, of a distribution and a team This year-toe with all his strength to regain the prestigious stages to which we have become accustomed in recent years.

For this, in celebrating the milestone, the first thoughts go to his teammates: “The record is definitely a personal satisfaction, but it is above all the fruit of the work and dedication of all the girls who train and fight with and for this shirt. Without my companions I could never take away these satisfactions and for that I sincerely thank. I think the numbers demonstrate my personal growth and that of the entire group over all these seasons in Vittorio Veneto. I dedicate this goal to the team, to society and to all the people who believed in me from the beginning”.
