The former Inter player, Mauro Bellugi, underwent amputation of both lower limbs. A lot of solidarity around the former player, especially from the Inter world: from Boninsegna to Altobelli to Moratti, everyone gathered around Bellugi. Even the mayor of Milan Beppe Sala, an Nerazzurri fan, assured him that “he and the city will not forget him”. “Beppe Marotta, managing director of Inter, made him a concrete offer: “There will always be a place for you in this club, maybe you could deal with relations with the clubs.” Massimo Moratti, former Nerazzurri president, has always considered himself the father of the great Nerazzurri family and confessed to him that he considers him one of them“, Reads the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Piero Volpi, Inter doctor and head of the Humanitas traumatology unit, is a friend of Bellugi:” I call him often, I was excited to feel so confident for the future. ” Volpi is also a former footballer and exactly 40 years ago, on 21 December 1980, he challenged Bellugi on the pitch.
“While waiting for rehabilitation, Bellugi has his head projected into the future. “When I have the prostheses, I want to go back on TV, go to the restaurant. I am now retired and I can still do all this safely. I joke about these things but I saw those kids in wheelchairs playing volleyball and I could too. I am an optimist by nature, I want to get to the end of this story at best. I will do everything to be ready ”.
