- But do Italians love football?
- Oh yes, very much indeed. All the boys attend playgrounds or parish grounds and go to the stadium with daddy, on Sundays.
- They are sportspeople, aren’t they?
- I don’t think so. Italians are rather lazy. When they are of age they prefer watching matches on television and on television, all the same, they follow the detailed reports about the various phases of the play and they have heated debates with friends. Then, on Mondays, they read the sporting press and they start heated debates again.
