In England, and especially in Bournemouth, I found the ability to plan ahead of time,
to have a clear strategy in recruiting.
I don't speak Italian.
The team is always the most important thing.
Becoming a father, my life changed a lot.
Winning the Dean's is the same as winning the lottery, but you know that the lottery is the one that wins, you know?
As a footballer, I would like to win everything.
Since first day he gave me a lot of love and I'm really thankful for that.
part of my life.
I think there's a real togetherness.
Once upon a time, on the southern coast of England,
more precisely in the Dorset County,
a city famous for its beaches,
where you can enjoy the pension
far from the chaos of the metropolises
and also famous for surfing.
Today, Bormoff, thanks above all to football,
is much more.
Known as the classic team that fights not to fall behind,
that same club is experiencing a historic season.
and I'd say he's already experienced it.
He's focused on ideas and innovation in every way
and he's managed to fill the gap with the Premier League's bigs.
Thanks to a project and targeted acquisitions,
there have been many successes on the pitch
against Tottenham, Arsenal, Newcastle, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Successes born behind the scenes and translated into the pitch by the boys at Rahola.
But let's go in order.
The story of Bormov comes just a few steps from the Vitality Stadium
in the Boscov district, to which the club owes its original name.
The fields of cherry trees are at risk of falling into oblivion.
Then the ascent and now the plans for the future
that make the Cherrys a real case of study.
But why Cherrys?
There are two reasons for the nickname.
The first is about the shirt and its red stripes.
The second has to do with the place where the stadium was built.
The Dean Court, known today as Vitality Stadium,
was built next to the Cherry Garden of the historic President, Cuperdin.
On the badge there is a player with a ball
Diki Dawset, a 50's and 60's striker
The jersey, from 1971, is made of old Milan jerseys
For two times, Bormot risked to end up in the forgotten
especially in 1997
The team played in the third division
The owner didn't pay the salaries
and had debts up to 5 million sterling
To sign for the league, you had to find at least 300.000
The club decided to put out of the Vitality Stadium cans and cans painted in black and red to collect as much money as possible.
The popular response was clamorous. The team was saved thanks to the first supporter trust of British professional football.
