He comes in slippers and bare feet, there are no deformities to the eye. So everything is fine and Matteo Berrettini confirms: “My foot is improving very quickly – he says – I’m happy and I’m training very well”. And then the question, my lady, arises spontaneously: do you play? An embarrassed smile and then the response: “No, even if the recovery proceeds well, the team has shown that they can win. The captain made his choices, and I came here as a fan and it seems like a support, let’s say so.” , of experience.

But I don’t know how to play and I look at them . Music? That’s Musetti’s stuff. He always has the speaker on, in my opinion he even sleeps there. The only problem is that it’s from 2002 but he listens to music from the 70s! But how does he do it? I’ll have to update it a bit”.
