The Rai presenter is a great fan: “When Maradona played I was at the stadium, but I was also in B and C.
Caterina Balivo professes himself “sporty out of necessity, because after the age of 40, gravity does his” and Napoli fan “by innate faith”. It has recently returned to being the Lady of the afternoon of Rai 1 with the right time (from Monday to Friday from 14 to 16) and a great deal is to do, because “I am very competitive and point to give the best every day”.
“True, even if I arrive from a reality, that of Aversa of the 80s, in which kilometers had to be grinded to play sports. Korean karate have taken from the father, I have a past as a world champion of enrollment in activities that I then interrupt – I also did the pole dance!
How much generosity! Is it true that he would like to conduct a sports program?
“This is not exactly the case, I would like to be a fixed commentator on a sports program in which I speak only well of Napoli, in fact I don’t invite anyone!”.
Is Napoli a family passion?
“When you are born and live in our part, Napoli is a faith. I have an uncle who supports Inter, for us it has always been a scandal. Napoli is something inside, something innate. I started going to the stadium with my father when I was a child, I will have had 6-7 years, it was the Napoli of Maradona … that is, guys, I really saw Maradona, I was there! But I was also with the Napoli of Naldi in Serie B, The ascent with De Laurentiis from Serie C. Despite the terrible relegation, the stadium was practically not always full “.
A memory that seems very far away if we think about what has happened in the last three years, with the two badges.
“Let’s say that we have been repaid of so much passion and also of a good dose of bad luck that had struck us in the previous seasons. Two badges within three years are something enormous, if I think about how it went with the last I would really like to make a statue to Conte: the most beautiful news of the year was his reconfirmation, more than mine at the vault good (laughs, ed.). Look that with Napoli it was not easy! Call and pays it, for me it was a sign from above, because we deserved it! rejoicing, remembering that it is not forever, enjoying the moment.
For the Scudetto di Spalletti he made pizza in the square, for that of Conte he had promised a song …
“I sang Memole with Paola Barale, but maybe it is not worth it … let’s do this: for Christmas I will sing something important for Naples and my tricolor Napoli”.
“With a coach like Conte how do you want me to answer you? And then I have a dogmatic relationship with the president, for me whatever he does well, I was unable to criticize him even when he has inanelized a series of wrong coaches. If you think about it, in a kick where many teams are in the hands of financial funds, De Laurentiis is an exception. And it is very nice to have a man, a face that represents the club. He competes and wins as well, we returned to the glories of the two Sicilies “.
Could it be “the right time” to win the Champions League?
“Do you want to make me die with a question like this? Let’s say it would be very nice, but it has already been so nice to have two badges in three years for my Naples, in the face of all”.
Is there a sportsman who would like to bring to his study?
“Yes, I want to interview Julio Velasco, I have been looking for him for a year! I know everything about him, I like it very much, I like his story, I like the choices he has made and what he is continuing to make with the girls of the volleyball. The victory at the World Cup was wonderful, but for the Olympic gold I found myself sobbing in front of the Mignon TV of the kitchen of our home. Grandparents then … sorry, it comes to cry even now!
Among the champions who has already met who has remained particularly impressed on her?
“I was very happy to have a guest Filippo Ganna, this boy is really cool, a supercampione with whom I had a great time. At the first episode post games of Paris I wanted Alice Volpi, the silver screenwriter in the team foil. Then I had both Federica Pellegrini and Matteo Giunta, together and separately, then Stefano Tacconi, Clemente Russo, the Maddaloni with which we did the tutorials. of Judo. It is nice to host the sportsmen because it is seen that they have a square head that I like.
