Zoff in an interview with "Italy with you", broadcast tomorrow on Rai Italia and online on Rai Play (https: // www.raiplay.it/ programs / litaliaconvoi), focused, above all, on three special moments: the game of scopone with Pertini;
the kiss to Bearzot and the decisive save against Brazil in 1982. "Three extraordinary and very important moments; decisive and determined - his story - Pertini, put us at ease with the game of cards; the kiss to Bearzot was something out of the ordinary, far from our way of being, from Friulian modesty; the parade, on the other hand, took us far away. They still remind me of it today even if, at the time, I was terrified that the referee did not evaluate well ".
"I still follow football, even if not always at the stadium" - continued Zoff - I still like it.
Of course there are generational changes and there are differences but the substance is always good ".
" There are many regrets but in reality they are not regrets.
My philosophy has always been that if I did something that way in that moment, it means that I wasn't able to do it differently.
For the rest, reaching forty captain of the national team and lifting the world cup is something that will not be repeated. "
