Cristiano Ronaldo was far from written off at the age of forty, the Japanese striker Kazuyoshi Miura played in the Portuguese second class at the age of 58, but they are not the only ones who want to continue their career for as long as possible. A very striking comeback is planned in Italy within about two weeks. Former professional goalkeeper Lamberto Boranga will take a seat again on 28 September and that on his … 83rd!
Boranga will start working again at USD Trevana 2020, the club where he started his career more than 60 years ago. The keeper – in addition to football also cardiologist – has been preparing for months in his comeback by training with the staff of this team, which comes out in the excellent categoria, the seventh level of Italian football. Boranga has had an impressive career, with more than 270 games in the Serie A and Series B. He played for Perugia, Fiorentina and Cesena, among others. “For me, age is not what is on my identity card,” he recently told Corriere Dell’umbria. “What counts is my biological age and from that point of view I am between 58 and 62 years old. On good days even 50 years. In the end we are simply adult children at this age.”
Sex as secret
His secret? “I eat little and healthy, don’t drink alcohol and don’t smoke,” Boranga told me in a conversation Republic. Although that is not his only energy source, he says … “Sex is also part of the training, a physical activity that contributes to well -being, just like sport.” In the meantime, he continues to train to make an unlikely return.
