The Spanish playmaker, today at Al-Duhail in Qatar, talks about himself in 360 degrees: “Me, Immobile and Milinkovic are the strongest trio. I hope Lazio wins the scudetto, in 2020 without the pandemic we would have triumphed. Lotito? I would like to forget …”
the “wizard” Luis Alberto would serve Harry Potter’s time turner. A golden hourglass to go back in time and relive each of his seven lives all over again, even more. The Spaniard, now number 10 for Al-Duhail in Qatar, was the fragile boy who wanted to quit and return to Seville, the director who accidentally became captain, Immobile’s sidekick, the playmaker with an irreverent touch, the lazy midfielder, the king of assists at the Olimpico and a failed Italian champion. “Without the pandemic, Lazio would have won the 2020 scudetto.” Luis Alberto responds from Doha, his new Hogwarts after eight years living in a white and light blue dormitory with green shades. If the sorting hat had sorted him into the great hall he would have been somewhere between Gryffindor and Slytherin, the union of a fervent character and two feet aimed only at doing good.
