Giusto un pensiero su Pierre Bruno tratto dal sito del Pro14, tanto per chiudere con queste tristezze he mi fanno pensare ai tifosi di un altro sport...
PIERRE BRUNO GOES 'LEAGUE'
Ulster’s performance against Zebre was total and now puts them just two points behind Leinster – the team who are not just the benchmark, but the bench, table, cushions and dried flower centre piece of the Guinness PRO14.
But despite Ulster’s nine try gun-show, it was one of Zebre’s tries which caught the eye. It was one of the weirdest finishes ever seen on a field. We’re all used to seeing rugby union players scoring exquisite ‘league’ style, one armed, dive finishes in the corner. Those finishes are almost like something you’d see on a gymnastics floor in the Olympics.
Well, Bruno’s finish was like something you’d see at a zoo in the 1970’s where they’d taught a seal to balance a ball on its head, except Bruno did it with his waist and two fingers. With the ball having been spilled, following on from a 22m bomb (which is a rare sight in itself), Bruno somehow trapped the ball on his hip, spun it like a hula-hoop around his waist, turned 540 degrees and scored.
Never has a player looked like he had more, and at the same time less, control of the ball in the history of the game.
It was awesome.
Nota a margine: "
following on from a 22m bomb (which is a rare sight in itself)". Domandona: per me il calcio di Rizzi era solo un calcio sbagliato. Quando l'ho visto l'ho mandato a quel paese... Secondo voi è uno schema provato in allenamento? "Candela" nei 22 avversari che cada vicino alla linea di meta, schiaffetto indietro del centro e raccolta dell'ala che va a segnare. Per essere uno schema prevede troppe coincidenze fortunate, dai: la "candela" all'interno dei 22 è a fortissimo rischio di mark. Lucchin quando ha dato lo schiaffetto aveva intorno 3 o 4 avversari. Poi Bruno che si viene a trovare immediatamente dietro...
Per me era solo un errore di Rizzi, anche se non ne sono troppo sicuro. In fondo la sua preparazione faceva pensare da subito al calcio alto. Mi rimane il dubbio
