With the ball he dreamed, rejoiced, cried. Through the dribbles he fell, got up and regained his life. And today in Cagliari he closed a circle and lifted a weight that he had been carrying with him for thirty years.

Fabrizio Maiello, the Maradona of prisons, who in his wandering life as a fugitive in 1994 wanted to kidnap Gianfranco Zola, today was able to embrace him again and ask him for forgiveness for that action he had planned, but in front of a sweet look and a "hello guys" of Oliena's bomber was unable - fortunately - to complete.

In that service station, instead of pulling out the gun, he took his identity card and asked him for an autograph. "It wouldn't have suited you, at the time I ate like a wolf," Zola said in front of an emotional Fabrizio, who couldn't hold back his tears. Maiello talks a lot, he talks about what he was and no longer is. And in every sentence there is a "Sorry Gianfranco". Some dribbles that Zola "escaped": "I feel embarrassed", he adds, smiling as he watches Maradona delle Carceri play with the ball.

After the match the two will go to the stadium together to watch the match between Cagliari and Bologna and who knows, maybe the surprises aren't over yet for Fabrizio.
