Beautiful Sicily
I would like to ask Sicily, is it unfamiliar to everyone? Presumably, most people must think of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", so unconsciously they think of Monica Bellucci, who was once one of the sexiest beauties on the surface! But beautiful women, it will always be inseparable from our football!
And Sicily used to have three Serie A teams, they are Palermo, Catania, Messina! It just so happens that these three teams are also from the top three cities of the Sicily Autonomous Region! And Sicily itself is also the largest island in the Mediterranean, the island with the strongest comprehensive strength! Although all three teams are now hovering in the Serie C, this also shows the decline of southern Italian football!
Although all three teams are currently hovering over Serie C, I boldly estimate that in the absence of a large inflow of funds, it is Palermo, which is more likely to advance to Serie B! The team comes from palermo, the capital of the Autonomous Region of Sicily---.
Introduction to the Sicilian Triwizard
Palermo team
Palermo is home to Palermo, the largest city and capital of Sicily, Italy, a beautiful and rich coastal city in the northeast of Sicily!
At present, it is at the top of Group C in Serie C, and there is still hope for breaking into Serie B. In its history, Palermo F.C. played in all italian professional leagues and played in the Italian First Division from the 1960s to the early 1970s, during which time he finished three times in the Coppa Italia. Most recently, he also finished runners-up in the Coppa Italia in 2011-12, and reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup! And since the 21st century, he was promoted to Serie A in 2004 and has been active in Serie A for decades! But in 2013, he was relegated to Serie B!
Once upon a time, the Sicily football team also showed its strength on the stage of the World Cup! I don't know if you remember the Italian "WeiYi Left" ---- Grosso at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, who was transported by Palermo at that time. And did you know that at that time, the Serie A team palermo sent 4 players to the Italian World Cup squad! Second only to Juventus (5) and AC Milan (5)!
At that time, from the Palermo team were:
Zakardo: Originally the main player in the rotation, the strange oolong ball against the United States team created the only italian sports game to concede a goal!
Balzagli: Later became a Juve celebrity, and once formed the Juve-Italy double defense line with Chiellini and Bonucci!
Fabio Grosso: Build a little Australian team! Arc ball through the German team! Kill the French team! Help Italy win the Hercules Cup!
Barone: Came on as a substitute twice, without much of a bright spot, hurried past.
Palermo is indeed one of the strongest of the three, and the length is also more, and the next few, I believe that the fans who watch the ball are even more familiar!
Luca Tony: The hero of italy's victory in 2006, the late high school striker, has now retired. Luca Tony scored 50 goals in 80 league games in two seasons in Palermo. The celebration action I call the wind chime ear!
Edinson Cavani: Uruguayan national team's main centre-forward, currently playing for Manchester United! Made 117 appearances for Palermo and scored 37 goals! The celebration action also has a similar wind chime ear!
Paul Dybala: Known as the Little Magic Fairy! Argentine- Italian dual citizenship (supplement: Argentina is said to have millions of Italian descendants)! Currently Captain Juventus, the main shadow forward! Played in 89 league games for Palermo, scoring 21 league goals!
Sirigu: Italian team millennium substitute goalkeeper, because of Buffon's presence! And until Buffon retired, Chandodo ---- Donnarumma appeared again, and Euro 2020 got a substitute opportunity, and also won the European Championship with the team! Currently plays for the almost relegated Genoa team! (Don't blame him)
Catania team
The Catania team is home to the city of Catania in the east of Sicily, which is also a coastal city, the second largest city in Sicily!
Currently hovering in Serie C, it is very difficult to rush Serie B! He was promoted to Serie A in 2006, but unfortunately ended up in Serie B in 2013/14 and hasn't gotten up since! Even more distressing is the declaration of bankruptcy in December 2021! For such an established Italian football team! There are many Argentines in the team, and there are many Argentines with Italian dual citizenship, and the highest ranking rank is in the eighth place in Serie A, which can be said to belong to the upper middle level, but has not had European experience!
In my opinion, the player with whom I am most familiar with Catania is Alejandrogomes. Watching Serie A at that time, I also knew that this short-footed tiger was the core player of Catania's frontcourt, playing 106 games for the "elephant" and scoring 16 goals. Sevilla currently plays for La Liga!
Takayuki Morimoto: A former Japan international striker who also played for the Catania football team.
Messina (Messina)
Messina's home stadium is located in the city of Messina in the northeast corner of Sicily, across the Strait of Messina and across the Italian mainland Apennine Peninsula! It is the third largest city in Sicily!
Messina football team is also currently hovering in Serie C of Serie C, and it is also very difficult to rush Serie B! Is an established club founded in 1900! In 2004, he was promoted to Serie A, but his strength was obviously insufficient, so he was relegated to Serie B in 2007 and fell again and again! In short, there are no bright achievements in history!
Count the well-known players of the Messina football team, there is no, even if it is Rezay from the Persian Iron Horse, who once played for messina's main defender!
Can declining Sicilian football rise
This question, I am also difficult to interpret, as the opening paragraph said, if there is no strong flow of funds, then the Sicily football team wants to break into Serie A again, the difficulty is not general! In fact, there are still many well-known players in palermo, otherwise it cannot be said that it is the strongest in Sicily! It's just that I didn't unfold the narrative! Including the current Danish captain Kyal of AC Milan! Once Argentina national team center forward Pastore! Red Bebe Bellotti, who currently plays for Turin! Damian, who currently plays for Inter! Currently plays for Illisic at Atalanta!
I hope you will not only remember that the sexy and beautiful once had one of the most beautiful on the surface---- Monica Bellucci! You can also remember the football triwires of Sicily---- Palermo, Catania and Messina!
