All the colors of football united to greet Sinisa

They were more those of the Lazio the flags and scarves they saluted one last time Sinisa Mihajlovic this morning in Rome, in Piazza della Repubblica. But there were also many symbols of Bologna, some of Sampdoria, Fiorentina and even Roma, the team that in 1992 brought to Italy that incredible talent who had just won the Champions League with the Red Star of Belgrade and who, after a few years, it would become the flag and symbol of the main rival team in the capital, Lazio. Friends and colleagues of a lifetime passed in front of a crowd of supporters that half filled Piazza della Repubblica, greeted by loud applause without discrimination of football faith or team affiliation. Football fans with scarves or the Lazio flag applauding Totti and De Rossi as they left the square followed by the mayor Gualtieri, Lazio fans calling “Bruno!” while the former Roma Conti footballer was leaving the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli. In the end they approached the entrance to the church to see the members of the Lazio team and management, who came out moved and a little embarrassed by the moment, used to smiling and exulting in front of those who call them and forced instead, on this occasion , limiting himself to a few silent nods. Then Lotito, Baresi, Liverani, Tare, Mancini. And in the end, as the square emptied, the chorus “And if Sinisa shoots it’s a goal…”, the one with which the Lazio curve used to underline Mihajlovic’s precision in free kicks, of which he was a master.
