Sarrismo is back in fashion

Once upon a time sarrismo, a football movement capable of becoming a neologism and carving out its space on Treccani: “Conception of the game of football based on speed and offensive propensity; also, the direct and non-diplomatic way of speaking and behaving that would be typical of Sarri”. The year was 2018, Napoli had just deluded themselves of being able to climb to the roof of Italy thanks to a way of understanding the game very far from the canons of our tradition. Maurice Sarri he had become the emblem of the apprenticeship and architect of a very high-level football laboratory, maintaining the trappings of the revolutionary. An arsonist and proud party, however, he quickly found himself in the role of firefighter, as per Rino Gaetano’s maxim: joining Juventus, via Chelsea, had made him unpopular with the square that had loved him in a visceral way, feeling betrayed by the man of the people who went to dinner with the enemy, the unacceptable abjuration of Masaniello.
