A day of awards and thanks to the Tor Vergata University of Rome. Guest, in the Fleming hall of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, is Carlo Ancelotti, awarded in the XVII edition of the Tor Vergata Etica nella Sport award (the last to receive it were Ranieri, Klose and Bebe Vio). The technician from Naples was awarded not only for the calmness with which he lives the reputation (in the hope both as an example for the young), for the style, but above all for the position taken on the problem linked to racism (especially after the howls addressed to Koulibaly during the San Siro match with Inter). In the afternoon, the blue technician met the students of the University of Luiss. As part of this meeting, the technician said: "Naples has already achieved other very important results because it is a healthy, strong and growing company, and if I am in Naples it is because I agree and accept the De Laurentiis project - it has said Ancelotti, who then joked - I was at Milan 8 years, I want to beat this record with Napoli! "

THE AWARD - With the plaque withdrawn for the award, Ancelotti explained how it links ethics to sport: "Even though it is increasingly difficult and complicated, I want football to remain the one I fell in love with when I started at the oratory . This sport must not be polluted, we must not stray from what are the values, both mental and physical, that distinguish it. I had taken my son to Milan's youth academy, but it was clear that, due to the qualities he had, he could not play there. However, sport does not teach us to compete with others, but also with ourselves. We must learn to overcome our physical and mental limitations. Not everyone is born Messi or Ronaldo. For me, sport is a great school of life, this award motivates me to continue. I have been many years abroad, I believe that elsewhere they are far ahead of us in sports culture. In two years in England I never received an insult, but here we still insult each other ". The stadiums are also a problem: "I don't want to say about unblocking the construction sites because I would make politics, but our plants must improve, especially the San Paolo. Despite all my years abroad made me realize how beautiful Italy is ”.

NAPOLI - In the packed Fleming classroom, the students compete to give Ancelotti some questions. The first to take the floor is a fan of Napoli, who wants to know when the Neapolitans will be ready to win something important: "The project in Naples - says the coach -. The company has taken a failed team and is now permanently in the Champions League and has no debts. We are careful not to take the longest step of the leg. There is the will to grow, to win, but we are also careful to respect the rules that impose on us. We are investing in young people, as shown by Meret and Fabian Ruiz. This is our plan to get to win. " On the other hand, it is impossible to respond to those who ask him to choose the best player he has ever trained: "We only think of goalkeepers: I had Peruzzi, Van Der Saar, then Buffon, Dida, Abbiati, Cech, Sirigu, Casillas, Diego Lopez ... Believe me , it is impossible to choose just one. If I said Ronaldo I would forget Ronaldo the Brazilian, Drogba, Inzaghi who with me made 300 goals, Sheva ... ".

MILAN - Many Milan fans are also present. One of them asks him if the defeat of Istanbul against Liverpool was the most difficult moment of his career: "I never take myself too seriously. In a soccer game, three things can happen: you can win, draw or lose. Nothing can happen worse. In Istanbul we lost badly, but without the support of the company it would be over. Milan on that occasion acted as a company, realizing that we had played well even though the result had not rewarded us. From there we left again ”.

THE EMPATHY WITH ROME - To those who, jokingly, remind him of the promise to return to Rome one day to sit on the Giallorossi's bench, Ancelotti replies with a smile: “I am young, very young. I arrived in Rome 40 years ago, it was a wonderful experience that I remember to the full, also because my knee hurts every day ”. A day of awards and thanks to the Tor Vergata University, there is Carlo Ancelotti to collect the award for ethics in sport. Moreover in Rome they would always find a good reason to reward Carletto.
