Golazzo: The Totally Italian Football Show

All Hail Emperor Adriano

Listen on

Episode notes

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at the life and times of your favourite player if you had Pro Evo during its pomp – Inter and Brazil’s Adriano.

The man known as the Emperor had enough talent to impress Ibra and possibly the most powerful shot the game has seen. We chart the story of his rise and the tragic circumstances behind his fall.

Plus there’s plenty to discuss in Serie A. And not in a good way. Juventus’s Moise Kean suffers racist abuse at Cagliari and the reaction of many, including team-mate Leo Bonucci, leaves a lot to be desired.

And the airwaves on Golazzo turn (black and) blue as Luciano Spalletti opens the door for the outcast Mauro Icardi.
