Come back home, Lagrimón: an happy ending story

This is the story. And has happy ending.

Lagrimón, Tino Asprilla magnificent bull, was stolen from his farm “San Tino” in Tuluá (Colombia), together with some cows, on 21st February morning.

Tino cares a lot his bull and will not be satisfied until his beloved Lagrimón will be back home and his kidnappers in jail.

“Today they stole my bull Lagrimon […] I hope that Police and Fiscal police will take note about that”
Tino decided to put on the web a communication in which asks to everyone that could be useful for investigation to give their help, promising a “magnificent reward”.

“Reward offered to who give useful informations. I hope he is still alive and that will be soon back”

Not all the followers had the same opinion about the fact “he is already sausage” says some cruel one, someone is sure to have seen him in Uribe, some other have suggestion and tell to “look for him where they celebrate 15 years birthday, weddings…”

Someone is a conspiracy expert and suggest to “ask for him to the 8000 president whisperers net”, some other – denoting sensitivity – thinks about the sad cows he left home. The winner suggest to look for the butler.

The whole Parma fans community mobilitate in order to find Lagrimón: they are looking for him in Iceland and Balkan, and in Italy too.

Unexpectedly this morning, thanks to Colombia Police and to the people that cares Tino, Lagrimón was found. Alive.

An happy ending story. Sometimes happens.

Welcome back, Lagrimón.

Ps: si hemos bromeado un poco es porqué te queremos, Tino. Sino todo el mundo hubiera pasado por alto sobre el asunto. Un abrazo desde tu aficion Gialloblù.

As said this morning, thank you for all, Crusader!

“After three years and an half it is greetings time.

And, believe me, it is not easy to say goodbye to the town that has been my second home. It is not easy to say goodbye to mates and Club. Most of all it is not easy to say goodbye to you fans.

I gave a lot to this town, but you and Parma Calcio gave me more. I grew up as a player, but mainly as a man. I will never forget three promotions, yellow cards for my celebrations, derbies goal and many other moments, This moments will be always in my heart.

Thanks to all Curva fans for you constant presence and most of all for Sunday banner. It has been really touching for me. Thanks also to the Club for these three wonderful seasons.

This is not a farewell, but a goodbye. In some way we will meet.

Grazie Parma.

J’ai une ame de vainqueur quand je tombe je me relève toujours ..Motakh ma ame fit 💛💙”

Thank you, Crusader!

Thanks Parma. After wonderful years reaching almost unbelievable goals I’m starting this new adventure with the desire to give everything. Like I always do. I’m proud of being part of Crusaders history, and proud that the today’s one is a goodbye and not a farewell. Now I start a new adventure, made by battles to win day after day with my new team mates”

Calaiò farewell letter

grazie_arciere_instagam.jpg

Emanuele Calaiò, arciere [archer], left officially the club yesterday to join Salernitana on permanent deal. You probably red our thank you to him, Gianni Munari and Yves Baraye).

He decided to publish a moving farewell letter through ParmaToday.it, that we thanks. Here the (non professional) translation:

Thanks Parma,

you are and always will be my home. Unfortunately the moment I would like arrive as later as possible arrived. After two years of goal, assist, victories and delights shared with mates, Club, with you fans, I have to greet. I do it with my heart in my throat and with a worry: after being protagonist to write Parma history I would like to close the ring and give my contribution even in Serie A. But unfortunately it has not been possible.

Thanks Parma,

you are and always will be my home. Even when I suffered, when we suffered. I know what you felt this summer, I tasted it on myself everyday. It went fine, now – thanks to you that gave me support – I feel like if I get off from a tornado and, with a deep breath, restart to breath and decided to begin again. Unfortunately far from Parma, but in football, like in everyday life, make choices is necessary. And respect them. This, even if it is not my decision, I respect it as I always thank for what did for me, giving me the chance to train until the end.

Since tomorrow a new adventure start. I don’t know if one day we will meet again, maybe with other roles, or as rivals. Never as enemies, this is a promise. Nobody knows what it is going to happen the important is having been there in the moment of need. I am proud of what we did, me,my team mates and you. I bring you with me.

Thanks Parma,

you are and always will be my home.”

Mission of this page is to bring Parma – all “Parma world”, not just the Club – closer to abroad fans, in order to understand better that “kind of magic” all of us feel once we step into that bicycle busy streets.

This is one of the ventures we would like to bring to you: Parma Facciamo Squadra is a charity project born in 2013 thanks to the contribution of three local business Chiesi Farmaceutici, Fondazione Cariparma and Barilla Group (also part of  Nuovo Inizio, in the person of Guido Barilla) that donate one euro for every euro that the charity fundraiser gain from citizens (Multiplier Effect).

The money collected will be devolved in projects for kids in need: food and primary needs, education, sport and culture. The amount will not be given to only one association but distributes to the families really in the need that will be chosen by a council of association spread in Parma territory that works daily by this families side: Centro di Aiuto alla Vita, Rete dei Laboratori Compiti, Polisportiva Gioco, Emporio Parma, Famiglia Più, Portos, AUSER, Giocamico, Per Ricominciare.

This is why the name of the campaign is “Let’s team up”: the subjects involved are many and widespread.

There will be many fundraising ventures, the one the video – with Lucarelli, Faggiano, Carra and Piovani – refers to is “Anolini solidali”, a charity sell for handmade anolini typical parmesan dish – never call them “tortellini”! – in piazza Garibaldi next week-end.
