As the Albanians on a prehistoric truck traveled to the port from where they would take a rusty boat to go to Italy, an Italian from Rome with curls and sunglasses tried to explain that football was not just Inter, Milan and Juve.
The Albanians, looking at his glasses as if they were a diamond, shouted swearing that one day they would play in “San Siro” and “Delle Alpi”. The Italian, who happened to have stayed in Tirana in 1991 in our country, cried and thought: “poverty has no borders”.
The sequences come from Lamerica, the film of Michele Placidos, who had chosen our exodus to “cynicize” the Italians, who once went to the United States. Misery did not need film. That year, Feyenoord landed near the 15th floor and just as if they had discovered a malnourished planet distributed bread and cakes.
Exactly the same year, Roma won the second final against Inter in the Uefa Cup, but lost the trophy. Rizzitelli scored in the stadium of the dream of all Albanians – in “Olimpico” – and that day Totti’s predecessors never played in a European final.
Times have changed. Albanians travel to Italy no longer with the museum truck or the ship that has become a “meme”, but with plane tickets, cut online, to visit the surroundings of the Colosseum, no longer to find work, but to exchange photos of random on Isntagram.
The 15-storey building of Feyenoord is very small compared to the new towers, bread and sweets are offered everywhere in the tasteful restaurants of the capital Tirana. The mythical stadium, a past of who knows what style with the name of the World War II guerrilla, has become a miracle of modern times, so much so that they forced UEFA to decide for all these reasons: “Yes, this final will played here. In Tirana, in Albania ”. What name should we give to this film ?!
The irony of fate: will come Rome, which has not played at this level for many years, and Feyenord, who when he landed in Rinas said: “have not we been here before”?
Legend has it that in the 1970s, when the Dutch landed at our hermetic airport, someone told them they had to cut their hair, and history says that in 1946 we organized the Balkan Cup, volunteered, played against rivals like Yugoslavia and even we won the trophy. The trophy, which – and this is official – has been lost and its whereabouts are unknown.
A message to all those who think that something bigger has happened in this city since it became the capital. Nothing like this has happened before! This is the only match in history that Albania has won without going down on the field! Lamerica became a reality…
