“Good evening Italian spectators, it is with great emotion that we take the line from the sidelines of the Bernabeu stadium in Madrid for the 1982 world championship final”. The voice is that of Nando Martellini, in Italy it is eight in the evening. We are 36 million in front of the TV. Of the 120,000 spectators at the Bernabeu at least one third (40,000) are Italians. At the time of the anthems the players wear the tracksuit jacket (there is a contract to be respected with Le Coq Sportif). Tardelli and Cabrini sing, Bruno Conti stamps his foot on the ground, Scirea is composed, with his hands running down his hips.
