Francesco Guccini's Juventus Choice: A Story of Underdog Support
Marino Bartoletti, a journalist, has shed light on the intriguing relationship Francesco Guccini had with football, from his initial ties to Pistoiese to his surprising affinity for Juventus.
The late singer-songwriter's connection with football was, over the years, rather distinctive. Bartoletti shared a curious anecdote about Guccini's sporting allegiances in a recent interview with La Repubblica.
Bartoletti recounted how Guccini, who was initially associated with the Pistoiese club without being an intensely passionate fan, later developed a liking for Juventus. This choice was partly influenced by his natural inclination to side with those who were heavily criticized.
The journalist also recalled some shared experiences watching Juventus matches, including the notable 2018 Juventus-Napoli game that was decided late by a goal from Kalidou Koulibaly.
"Was Guccini interested in football? He said he had lukewarm ties to Pistoiese, then he chose Juventus because 'everyone spoke ill of them,' and it felt natural for him to be on their side. It made me smile. We also watched a Juventus-Bologna and the 2018 Juventus-Napoli match together, the one with Koulibaly's goal. From then on, he said I brought bad luck and didn't want me near him during games anymore."
