Because we love each other

1 Comment

Yes, the one on the left is Captain Lucarelli and yes, his wife, Cristiana, sings very well and no, the man on the right is not Tom Selleck son.

One year ago, on 15th October 2017, Cristiana, Alessandro and Plin, sang this song as the end of Gli Scarrozzati show in Collecchio’s Crystal Theater.

We will talk more in detail next days about Gli Scarrozzati, a comic theater company composed by actors on wheelchair, since this Sunday 9th September in Collecchio there will be their new comic show.

For the moment enjoy this masterpiece on the music of Ricchi e Poveri “Sarà perchè ti amo”, that for the occasion Plin transformed in “Sarà perchè ci amiamo” that in English should sound like “Because we love each other” and Captain in this inconsuete singing version.

Here the complete Lyrics:

PLIN:

What a confusion For who supports you

We never know In which Serie you play

But Parma is strong, much more than the Cousin (Reggiana now Reggio Audace),

And for us is fine, Every time we beat them

CRI:

I sing in rhyme but you’re always in retreat

Every damn summer We postpone holidays

You are a star, But not Messi indeed

Well, who cares? Anyway I love you

REF:

And with Parma we know Higher and higher we go

Com’on fly with me Football is crazy indeed

Where there is not love A season is enough

In the hands of an evil And we all know how it ends.

And with Parma we know Higher and higher we go

Com’on fly with me Football is crazy indeed

Love is all around here Like in past season my dear

Fear against Pordenone Then a big party.

ALE:

And after all What is it so strange?

It is a song Maybe because I love you

If Parma falls, We don’t leave him alone

If Parma falls, We will bring him on

CRI:

Hold me stronger and stay closer and closer

You’re fascinating, but not a young anymore

If football is crazy What is it so weird

Crazy fo crazy At least we love each other

REF:

And with Parma we know Higher and higher we go

Com’on fly with me Football is crazy indeed

Where there is not love A trash can in your hand

And we all know how it ends.

And if Parma succeed Is because we love each other

And soon back to Serie A Is because we love each other

We will say to those two (Gherardi and Leonardi, NDT)

You see how strong we are?

We don’t care We have the Capitano!

Hello from BBC

So it started.

Hello from BBC.

It was not Bale-Benzema-Cristiano or Barzagli-Bonucci-Chiellini. Was THAT BBC: British Broadcasting Corporation. We received an email from Mani Djazmi, the presenter of World Football, a weekly program dedicated to most special stories in football world on BBC World Service, that was interested in realizing an episode totally dedicated to Parma renaissance.

So it started an incredible two-days in which we followed Mani in his interviews and researches. We had the chance to talk about football and give our small help to such a great expert and professional. We will never be enough thankful for that.

We could attend to Pietro Pizzarotti and Captain Lucarelli interviews in Collecchio Training Center, see coach an players pass in front of us at the end of morning training session, relaxed and focused on Saturday match. We step Tardini pitch with well known Centro Coordinamento Parma Clubs (CCPC) President Angelo Manfredini that took us also to locker rooms and honor tribune and told us incredible stories about nineties glory days. Before the official interview, while we were in CCPC office, Sandro Melli, one of Wembley heroes, get into and had a coffee in front of us. Can you imagine?

We heard from Parma Partecipazioni Calcistiche (PPC) member Franco Bardiani words all the passion behind the popular action that together with Nuovo Inizio allowed Parma’s rebirth. We hate in Pepèn, well known Parmesan paninoteca and we went also to a football game in Correggio, in the deep Reggio Emilia province, where Parma played only three years ago. So many things that it was necessary three episodes to tell everything.

And now? Now Juve is coming. BBC World Football dedicates a whole program to Parma Calcio and we are so proud of all the people we met in these days. Until Parma will be made by these people we can really trust in an even brighter future.

Despite every result on Saturday night, believe us: be proud of what Parma Calcio is. It is made by great people, it is a family and, even if you are far, you are part of it anyway.

At this link you will find the podcast of this World Football episode and all the previous podcast:

Curva Nord chants

1 Comment

We would like to make a resume of Parma Curva Nord chant without pretending to be definitive. We are sure that can be of some help for who come to Tardini one time per year and can’t hear Curva Nord voice from the streaming.

In recent history we had one new chants for every season that talks about hope in promotion.

SERIE D – “Dopo anni di vittorie”

“After winning years we now are in D, but when Parma plays we are always here.

Street will be long and we have to suffer, but if we keep being united we will be back in Serie A”

[Dopo anni di vittorie, siamo finiti in D, ma quando gioca il Parma, noi siamo sempre qui. La strada sarà lunga, da soffrire ci sarà, ma se restiamo uniti, torneremo in serie A]

SERIE C – “Alè Alè oh oh”

“Alè Alè oh oh, Alè Alè oh oh

And I already know that next year we will be playing on Saturday… “

(serie B plays on Saturday)

[Alè Alè oh oh, Alè Alè oh oh E tanto già lo so che l’anno prossimo gioco di sabato]

SERIE B “Finché vivrò ti sosterrò”

 (on disco song Amour Toujours by Gigi D’Agostino)

“Until I’ll live I’ll support you. Always by your side, I’ll never leave you.

Maybe, who knows, it will work: sing with us and we will back to Serie A.”

[Finchè vivrò, ti sosterrò, sempre al tuo fianco mai ti lascerò. Forse chissà, succederà, canta con noi che torniamo in serie A]

During 18th may night, since we went to Serie A thanks to a Foggia player named Floriano goal against Frosinone, spontaneously was born this:

 

“Din Don, Din Don, I take the spech from Frosinone since Floriano scored “ (Using the typical radio commentary way of taking the line)

[Din Don, Din Don, Intervengo da Frosinone, che Floriano ha fatto gol]

On this channel you find lots of chants.

In our heart there is this, sang in Curva Nord by our Captain Alessandro Lucarelli during his last goodbye as a football player

 

“On 25th April a bi**h was born and they called her A.C. Reggiana… Reggio s**t, Reggio, Reggio s**t…”

[Il 25 aprile è nata una puttana e l’hanno chiamata AC Reggiana. Reggio merda, Reggio, Reggio merda]

25 April is the day Reggiana, the team from Reggio Emilia, which whom we have the bigger rivalry, was founded. They are now failed and relegated to Serie D with the name of Reggio Audace.

Maybe you can’t sleep

Curva Nord greets team after Parma vs. Hellas Verona on 24th may 2015

Maybe you can’t sleep.

Maybe you are thinking about three years ago. Last home match crying and singing “Torneremo in serie A“, or “Un Capitano, c’è solo un Capitano“.

Maybe you are thinking that football and life – are they really so different? – are weird: we would have many chances to cry after that day. Fortunately for different reasons.

Maybe you are thinking that tomorrow we will back again there – for REAL – and that, with all we passed through last years, this will be the sweetest season ever, even if we save at the last day.

Maybe you are thinking that you think too much and that, no, it is early to cry. Wait. Wait at least 18 hours. 18 hours and we will cry all together.

The Plin

Leave a comment

img_2766

 

We started hear about “il Plin” during high school years.

Nobody really knew if he was just a legend or if he existed for real. Between us, he was a sort of superhero, like in that Schwarzenegger movie, Sboretor. In high school, when a bully was really oppressive, Plin ridicule him with an ironical writing on a wall. It didn’t work in stopping violence but, for a while, made us forget the shit around us.

Nobody never met him but he was there, defending the weaker with his irony.

We started believing that he was not alone, that he was a group of people that used irony as a weapon, to protect us from high school bullies, or from who made a bankrupt with an historical Crusader Serie A team we can’t mention here.

Year after year we all friends started WhatsApp groups inspired by him called “The Plin” where we posted satirical commentary on life’s fact, just to make a laugh during coffee break. I heard it happened the same also in other cities. Casualty wanted that his name was also onomatopoeia for the WhatsApp tone and this made it even more popular. “Plin” became soon synonymous for “ironical joke”: “eh eh, what a good Plin!” “I have to tell you the Plin I red on the newspaper, so fun”.

Point is that The Plin started messaging also on Parma stuff, and we would like you not to miss it. We decided to report every interesting Plin that we find around: please, be patient if our translation is not perfect.

We still don’t know if The Plin exist or not, if he is alive or where are they now (?!). We like to imagine a quiet accountant with Tom Selleck mustache in a small town that top up his wages with striptease and sometimes makes volunteering with Captain Lucarelli.

[if you like the story and you are thinking in registering thePlin.com domain don’t waist time in looking for, we altready bought it]

Ps: Thanks to il Plin, by the heart.

Three years ago

Leave a comment

Colorno_parma.jpg

 

Today is exactly three years since Valerio Pennicino/Getty Images took this pic that is on Parma Calcio Facebook wall.

This was the second friendly match of new Parma Calcio 1913 in a village few kilometers from Parma: no official shirt on, some incredulous face, some determined. The Captain, of course, and some face we would learn to be used to: Ciccio Corapi, Lauria, Giorgino, Zommers, Cacioli… Boys of Curva Nord always there, everywhere.

We come from here.

Don’t forget it after the first, after the second, after the third match lost.

Thank you to Dario for making us remember this moment.

Lucarelli: “We always right”

Leave a comment
from 11st august 2018 Tuttosport

General Manager Alessandro Lucarelli speaks after appeal verdict and his words were reported yesterday on Tuttosport column.

Thanks Capt… ehm, General Manager to allow us to publishing it.

+++ this is a non professional translation made by fans for fans. You can read the original text on Ale Facebook page and on 11st august 2018 Tuttosport edition +++

“In last three years we have been winner three times on the pitcth and two times outside the pitch. We always knew we were right, that we deserved these three promotions with sweat and effort but we had to defend from worst accusation you can ever receive in football world. All this could put us in a bad light and blemish what we conquered. We silently fought, without give ever chance to attacks we received in these two months to hit us. And also in this case we are winners. Now, with all our enthusiasm, we can finally concentrate only on Serie A: will be 38 battles, with just one target: defend the category with tooth and nail.”

To resume the whole story follow “investigation” tag on our articles.

It will be Coppa Italia derby (for Captain)

Leave a comment

Pisa won against Cremonese after penalties the second round of Coppa Italia and will be Parma next opponent.

As you see Captain Lucarelli Facebook reaction for him it would be a special match since Pisa is huge historical rival of Livorno, the city were Ale was born and to which he is still strongly linked.

We are sure he is thinking how would it be to play this derby.
