She was a leader, a true leader. With her grit, Alessia Orro led her team and teammates to victory in the Fenerbahçe-Turk Hava Yollari match , which ended 3-0 for the home team, amid chants and applause from the fans. Behind her, the Four Moors flag proudly waved, carried by a small but enthusiastic Sardinian fan club present in Istanbul.

Monica Porcu, who followed the match in the Turkish city with three other Sardinians, recounts the experience: "We couldn't miss it," she says. "There were four Sardinians present, but the group also included Turkish friends, huge fans of Fenerbahçe and Alessia. The Sardinian community in Istanbul isn't large. We've been working and living here for a few years. Seeing this athlete's incredible journey is a source of great pride for us."

Despite her spectacular debut and her impact on the field, Alessia Orro has maintained her humility and sense of belonging to her homeland. "If Sinner has his carrots, we'll be Orro's 'Four Moors'!" Porcu concludes.
