In Germany to complete his life’s mission: to have Luciano Spalletti, coach of the national team, as best man at his wedding which will take place in October. The story is that of the Sienese Tommaso Petrini, known to his friends as “Tommulo”, who is following the Azzurri at the European Championship these days and who intends to convince the coach from Certaldo to be present during the fateful ‘Yes, I want it’. “Tommaso has been a fan of Spalletti since his Empoli days and followed him in the most important events of his career”, say his friends. They themselves organized a special stag party in Germany. “We left Siena and drove more than 13 hours to be present in Iserlhon, home of Casa Azzurri, and then to the Dortmund stadium to see the match against Albania”, explains Petrini.
Things were done really big, Spalletti masks (sold like hotcakes in the fan zone), tattoos, personalized t-shirts and above all a banner with the mission to be accomplished written: “I want pandemonium for my heritage / Will Spallettone be my witness? “.
The message, displayed yesterday in the match against Albania, went viral on social media. “A Reuters journalist even took an interest in the story, interviewing “Tommulo” shortly before kick-off, while Cristiano Militello from Striscia la Notizia, present at the stadium, shared an Instagram story”, the boys say. “I hope it reaches Luciano Spalletti, I would be very happy with an answer from him”, concludes Petrini.
The same banner was displayed today at the Azzurri’s training ground. “Look, I’ll come if you want”: Spalletti replied to the group of Sienese as he reached the sports facility by car. Will Tommaso be able to fulfill his dream?
