Have you ever dreamed of giving birth, sat on a bench, to something you never thought could become real,
but so real that would last forever?
1897, right on a bench, two students...and the rest is ..a story that I'm going to tell you.
It was about rules, heart, courage, joining, English players have been already marking that territory.
Black and white, the base colours, would bring life to a million colours that would have come over time.
In 1923, Edoardo Agnelli made Juventus, already leading one of the oldest football competitions with Torino
the only winning club in every single official competiton, worldwide.
Neither the war, the attacks on Torino were able to stop the rising "fidanzata d'Italia".
A great and rich inheritance begun to pass from father to son, and so on, year by year
Gianni l'Avvocato (the lawyer), whose memory is still told by Del Piero in these words "his hand on my shoulder"
and the little brother Umberto il Dottore (the Doctor), a Poseidon who led the famous Trident, the Magic Trio Charles-Sivori-Boniperti.
The first star was shining bright in the sky.
A spine balanced the black and white body, it was the Era of Blocco Juve (Zoff-Gentile-Cabrini-Scirea-Tardelli-Rossi-Causio-Bettega)
the Era of the greats whose ventures still resound nowadays in the hearts of the youngest and the memories of the oldest.
Platinì-Boniek-Ravanelli-Vialli-Zidane-Del Piero
The second star is now shining right next to the first.
But...the joy for the European Cup won thanks to Trapattoni was quick, the stadium, the field was bloody in Bruxelles..
a spot, as much as cleaned up, would stain permanently.
And yet..
Ancelotti, Lippi twice with the second Champions League in 1996, the last European triumph.
And then Capello, but as everyone knows...success sometimes means suffering.
A name, Moggi..second division..penalties..disappointment.
The loop caps off with two 7th positions
but then...
the winning, the return, a checkered return, but still a return.
It was about time to change and remember how big the Old Lady could be.
Something big was done in 2011, thanks to Andrea Agnelli and finally Juventus had its fortress, a "Conte" (Count) and...
the third star filled the gap in the sky, next to the others with a never made record. 102
5 Italian Serie A Cups and 2 Champions League finals, this is how Allegri reminds the Old Lady her origins
leading her to the apex, to the great respect in Europe.
Goal achieved: a champion, a number and many cups, all in one acronym "CR7".
But she knows..there's no limit to perfection, to the unquenchable thirst the pushed her to do her best, ever, till the end.
Have you ever watched the reality around you and realized to have given birth exactly to what you always dreamed of?
