1. A referee who turns on the microphone and says: “Having looked at the images, I confirm what I saw because I am on the pitch and not Lissone’s VAR”.

3. Dry Italian Super Cup between the winners of the championship and the Italian Cup to be played in an Italian city, preferably if at the moment without top football.

4. Rino Gattuso who meets the Calabrian community in Toronto in June. It means we are at the World Cup.

5. Yerry Mina and Gianluca Mancini who collide, help each other get up and each says to the other: “Sorry, my fault”.

6. Aperitif between Oriali and Allegri in the Galleria in Milan with Piper-Heidsieck champagne that Brera used to christen Oriali: Piper.

7. Federico Chiesa starter, happy, loved in a top Serie A club.

8. Treccani who refuses to recognize the term “braccetto”.

21. May Andrea Stramaccioni return to coaching.

22. May Banda and Luvumbo continue to hammer the depths.

23. May Baschirotto never roll up his sleeves.

24. That goalkeepers receive fewer back passes. The door to attack is on the other side.
