“Robert? I love football. He lives it with great passion also because he has an excellent goalkeeper at home….” Fulvio Flavone answers the phone from Castellammare di Stabia, where he works today with Juventus after moving to Serie B a year ago with Perugia. The coach knows The current goalkeeper of Vespa, who in 1990 was one of the heroes of the historical success of Cesena Primavera in the Viareggio tournament, the family of Luis well, starting with the lawyer Robert, who initiated the process of buying the majority of the Cesena FC team: «We have a great relationship – assures Flavone – often I was his guest in New York at the soccer camps and schools he organizes.But above all, I’ve followed his son Luca since he was a practical kid, often accompanying him on his path that led him to win the Peretti Championship with Torino and now he’s signed with the New York Red Bulls in the Major League. I trained him and made him grow and took him to Italy, and then he was good at getting attention and developing.”
Flavone takes a breath and starts over: “Robert is a very professional, respectful, and very smart lawyer. I have always been amazed by his determination and the fact that he is always a very positive person, the classic professional who speaks very little and who, when he puts something in his head, understands it. I have a wonderful relationship with the Lewis family and with them, in the United States, I have had many beautiful experiences. I also had the opportunity to follow Luca in Florida at Img Academy (Nick Bollettieri Sports School, editor), where he grew up, and I must say the organization surprised me, as did the camps organized by Robert in New York. These are very formative experiences, they have great structures and a lot of material, because in the United States the aquarium is obviously very big and endless.”
Flavone is still attached to Cesena: “Last year I came back to Manuzzi with Perugia – concludes that – and it was great emotionally, because that city and this team has given me so much.”
Lawyer Lewis does not add anything else, but guarantees: “His passion for football was not discussed at all.”
