| Three goals in only a match. Till here
nothing strange. It can occur, in an exceptional Sunday, that the forward
shows a particular vein to score goals and enter the narrow cycle of whom
has been able to score goals repeatedly in first division.
But what about if the celebrated hat trick comes from a defender, and what's more, thanks to the same superfine technique? Sinisa Mihajlovic, Serbia 29 years old football player, playing at the Lazio, is without any doubt a little the special protagonist of a day having another leading man, also a team mate, according to the day before previsions: Roberto Mancini. The Jesi football player indeed crossed this day a finishing line of a prestigious career, that is his 500 matches in first division, against the team where he had played for 15 seasons, growing humanly and his football too, till become its undiscussed symbol. Then the football ways have brought him far from Genoa, at Rome, at the Lazio, to try disputing within an ambitious sporting company the last years of a 34 years old player, nevertheless always a winner under the Lantern of one championship shield and 5 Italy Cups. So well, it was, or maybe it is better to say it must have been the "Mancio" day, fold nickname his fans gave him when adopting him. But at the end it was the Mihajlovic day, curiously till two years ago at the Sampdoria with Roberto and now also him a Lazio's gun. Against the ex-mates the fatal left of the left Vukovar has sparkled. Three goals, three, with important features. The first one is ballistic; Sinisa has laid out a three of trajectories starting from a free kick. And here it can be said that being on free kick, his speciality, the velvet left of the Serbia player had an advantage condition. This point, a second consideration must be taken into account , that is the technique; who was the goalkeeper who must oppose to the Mihajlovic's performance? Fabrizio Ferron, year of birth 65, this chance the most riddled utmost defender of the Samp, with a heavy charge. Indeed for two seasons Ferron has been a Sinisa's mate, playing at the blue circled shirt team. The malignant geometry of the extraordinary left has often warmed up the hands of the Milan goalkeeper. At least Ferron must have known the customs, the corners and the spins usually employed by his ex team mate. Instead knowledge was of no use over ignorance. The Mihajlovic's undertake places this way in the catalogue of the events, midway between curiosity and agonistic gestures. For the statistics, Sinisa will be one of the few defenders or maybe the unique one able to make a hat-trick. For the lovers of strange situations he will be instead an athlete able to scoff at, more and more, with the same diabolic mechanism, a goal keeper who knew his football very well for the main reason he has been an ex mate of him. What will it remain, to the protagonists themselves, of that afternoon at the Olimpico? Probably the Serbia football player, talked about as a fond and sweet father, will tell his nephews, maybe wrapping it with a fairy touch, that extraordinary mid December afternoon when his remote controlled left would have scoffed even at Noel. What does it remain to Ferron? Maybe the proverbial 'a trouble shared is a trouble halved'. Till now that "dog's day afternoon" has been shared by a twenty colleagues, all executed pitilessly by the God's left. |
