AMOROSO

How to distrust Ronaldo? The Inter people have already thought it about during a troubled year, when the Moratti's dream to win the shield turned slowly into a nightmare. In the total shambles and among dismissed trainers, a string of defeats and failed targets, it was unavoidable that it were magnified the case of the Brazilian, affected by a trouble at the knee not easy to solve. The Brazilian champion must get back in a black-azure negative moment without succeeding in taking the role of the home rescuer. And so a public usually very exigent as that of the Meazza ended with involving even him in their protests. In the match where the Udinese treated badly the remains of an adrift eleven lacking of any motivation, it shines instead, siding the darkened star of the Talent, that of Marcio Amoroso, the Carioca peremptory rising and who has much similarity with Ronaldo. Great ability in the narrow spaces and very good nose for goals, both rigorously bald-headed and coming from the same country, besides common targets in the national team. A career not easy at all, interrupted but not broken by a serious accident and having gain height in Friuli. Franco Causio, the unforgettable "Baron" of the Italy of Bearzot and by now he is the Udinese team manager spotted him. Zaccheroni changed his tactics along the years he stayed with the white-blacks, inventing a module fitting for him. And now Francesco Guidolin, current trainer of a team aiming to the qualification to Champions League, has valorized and invested him with responsibility after the departure of Bierhoff. From talented Brazilian, but inconstant, Amoroso has turned this way into a relentless bomber, as proved by his haul of goals placing him behind the unbelievable Batistuta in this championship. Also in the challenge against the Inter he has charmed with performances and goals of a rare beauty. So after conquering a place in the green-golden national team by convincing the coach Luxemburgo, the march of Marcio goes on toward prestigious targets. Practically all the 'great' are looking for him, starting from the Juventus. Keeping him for the Udinese management would mean a great economic sacrifice, since the giving-up to a great amount of billions. But President Pozzo has announced that in case of qualification to the Champions League the new "Talent" could stay with the white-black. By now the plot Amoroso, Ronaldo, Marcello Lippi and the black-azure public faced last Sunday is such that only a sport, strange as well as fascinating as football is, may give. The black-azure fans go to the Meazza hoping to see a brilliant Ronaldo able to bring the Inter out of this series of negative results. As well as Lippi who will be the next trainer at the court of Moratti. Both discover instead that the real "Talent" at least by now, is unfortunately the heir of Ronnie in the national team. The irony of fate he wears the colours having deserved to the Viareggio trainer years of glory but also the bitterness of the sole resignation of his career. To close the circle this stratospheric Amoroso can neither be courted by the Inter since he has already a general agreement with the Juventus in case of cession. Besides the prejudice the joke. At the Inter lately it really never rains but it pours.
