(ANSA) – UDINE, 03 JUN – Yesterday afternoon, Zico returned to Friuli for the presentation of Franco Dal Cin’s book and to participate in some events in a three-day mini tour.
Accompanying the Brazilian talent was Franco Causio: the two were welcomed at the “Città Fiera” in Udine by the ovation of at least 300 fans who sang the classic “Alè Udin”.
“For me it is always a great pleasure to return to Friuli to hug managers, former teammates and fans – were the words of Zico, who appeared excited -: at the time I would never have agreed to sign for Udinese if I hadn’t been convinced of excelling in the league. Then many things happened. From Cin he left, for example. A shame, because there were great players like Causio, De Agostini, Edinho, Virdis, Miano, Gerolin and Mauro; he was a coach as good as Ferrari and we played excellent football. We weren’t at the top in Italy, but there was a plan to get to the Scudetto. “
The champion has confessed to “always follow Udinese: Brazil, Japan and Udine are my homes – he added – I have left great players, but also in this management there are very good ones. My son Junior keeps me up to date. “.
To the delight of the fans, it will be repeated today: at 18.30, at the Fontanafredda stadium (Pordenone), a revival race of old Udinese glories, with Zico applauding them from the crowded tribune of fans.
Tomorrow last stage: the champion will be in Lignano Sabbiadoro (Udine) for a talk show with Federico Buffa of Sky. (HANDLE).
