The former defender tells himself: “I woman? It makes me pissed off and laughing: never took a fine. Galliani and Moggi did not give me for beauty. Made out of the GF Vip for a blasphemy never pronounced, my ex were afraid that I was talking about them. When they stabbed my son I was afraid true”
In Versilia the wind blows so strong that you keep you awake to dust off postcards. When Cellino escaped from the window of a hotel so as not to be found by an agent or when it was said that “the betta” was “too beautiful to be a footballer”. Stefano Bettarini, 53 years old, left -handed full -back with more than three hundred games between the pro ‘and 15 years of reality on TV, replies with the rustle of the wind in the background: “I live in Viareggio with Nicoletta, my partner. I don’t miss football and television. Over the years I have invested in the brick and that’s okay, today it can be said that I do not work and I enjoy my life. Taken not to squander anything, but my whims have taken them off the same. “
The gift with the first salary?
“A BMW. It was the year of the military, I played in the Baracca Lugo in C1 and I earned 24 million lire. The car cost 48, the rest of my father put them. I returned them to installments”.
Dad Mauro how did he prick it?
“He told me that I would never arrive in Serie A. The day before the debut, Cagliari-Torino, I called him Spavalo. ‘See, yes?’ chased a dream “.
“A left -handed fluidifier from the beautiful foot, in the whole band. I will be honest: so, in those days, there were few of them. Pancaro and Zambrotta were right and then adapted. Then there was Maldini, the idol of all time. Another category”.
Did you feel underestimated?
“I will be honest here too: I made the right career. I missed playing in a great team. I would have deserved it, but my agent always said the same thing …”.
“Bettarini is too beautiful to be a footballer. Galliani and Moggi said it when I was at stake for Milan and Juve. This reputation damaged me. Once I participated in a fashion show parade and they told me about all the colors. The club also pissed off. Today the players affect records, they launch brand, do everything”.
Ever escaped from a retreat?
“Never. I was considered as the one that made disasters, but it was not true.”
“He made me pissed and laughing. I always liked women, but I never took a fine or other because I went to make evening. To Lucca Orrico weighed us every day. There were guys who, in order to lose half a kilo after an evening they did the skip with the jacket. Instead I had the paparazzi at the heels that followed me everywhere. When I was married to Simona Ventura I will have said no to two hundred events”.
How did you meet?
“In Sardinia. At the time I played in Cagliari, she came to the presentation of the team. At the beginning we didn’t want to get the news out. She went around with a wig.”
Is it true that he discovered his betrayals through an investigator?
“Yes, but talking about it no longer makes sense.”
Today what relationships are you in?
“We separated each other twenty years ago, everyone does his life. Our children are 27 and 25 years old, we no longer need to make the extended family.”
In 2018 Niccolò was stabbed 11 times out of a disco.
“And his attackers are free, don’t make me think. Today he is a personal trainer, he is a two -door wardrobe, vents his anger in this way. He touched death, he never exceeds him”.
“Yes. I was afraid, but true fear.”
Let’s go back to football. A flash on Zamparini?
“I had it in Venice. When things went badly, he asked for advice from a magician. He convinced me to spread a hector of scognone on the chest to drive out the evil eye.”
Massimo Cellino, Cagliari.
“In order not to be found by my agent he ran away from the window of a hotel. Fiorentina wanted me, but he didn’t want to know. In Sardinia I was from God.”
Edmundo, a former Fiorentina companion.
“The Viola has one scudetto less because he ran away to Brazil for the carnival. Cecchi Gori told him that in Florence there was a bathroom in Ripoli, and therefore the sea. When he discovered that it was not true he went out of his mind. Cois and I took him to Viareggio to eat fish. A phenomenon: in Empoli he won a game alone after launching a ciabatta at the vice of the trap before a meeting.
“A phenomenon. Even if a little tichio. In Florence he had this reputation.”
In 2004 Trapattoni gave her debut with Italy.
“I made his debut in Palermo against the Czech Republic in the period in which Simona presented Sanremo. The dream of a lifetime. I am sorry to have stopped at 33 years old. I could have continued for another 4, but the five -month disqualification for omitted denunciation was disgusting. There are people who sold their soul and continued. To search my house they showed up in twenty. Outside there were dozens of journalists. 9 years of ordeal “.
Also in 2011 he was investigated for bets. Ilievski accused her of paying the players.
“Cavolate. Chievo I will weave to give me a hand: I needed another year to get the pension. 17 professionalism is needed, I was at 16. I was a member, but I never introduced myself to a training. I did not even know the players. The truth is that the PM promised pain discounts in exchange for names. I was media and he pulled me in the middle”.
Fifteen years of reality, then. How does everything come about?
“I wanted to have fun. I never thought of being a coach. I needed to unplug a little after the separation. I went three months in Africa thanks to the mole in 2005. I closed in 2020 after the Big Brother Vip. I was disqualified there for a blasphemy never pronounced. In reality my ex -girlfriends put pressure to make me out because they were afraid I said something about them. I would never have done it.”
With Nicoletta Larini how are you? Twenty -two years of difference are many.
“It’s true, but we silenced the owls. They told us that we would have lasted six months, but we have been together for eight years. It was close to me when Bettarini character, media and anything else was no longer such. It is a gift of life”.
