On June 13, 2001, it was around eleven o'clock in the evening when the final whistle blew to give Fiorentina the Italian Cup at the Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence. A 1-1 against Parma, after winning 0-1 in Emilia in the first leg, which gave Viola its last trophy. But the news – obviously – is not that. Daniele “Lele” Adani was also present on the pitch that evening. The famous Rai commentator, as well as a former Fiorentina footballer, revealed 23 years later the rather peculiar way in which he celebrated the historic success: using the trophy as a tool for erotic games with a girl.
A night of fire
Lele Adani told this in the latest episode of Long live footballthe now historic podcast by Antonio Cassano, Nicola Ventola and Adani himself on the Twitch video platform. “We took the cup with us to dinner, it stayed in the middle of the table where everyone was having dinner. There were relatives, friends.” Adani then continued: “I remember that evening very well. Because after dinner, which clearly went on until 2-3 in the morning, the cup disappeared. Where was that cup? We didn't know.” To then reveal everything: “Well, that cup came back to the locker room the next afternoon when training resumed. Because he came to my house and witnessed a night of fire with a girl.” And it was the trophy, which was “the object of desire of all Florence, that I stole, I took it with me and it remained between me and that girl where it was an instrument of erotic games. then the next day, well cleaned as it should have been, I took it clean, shiny and shiny to the Fiorentina locker room.
