Alyosha Coppola, class of ’99 pizzaiolo and graduate student in Sport Sciences, he is the star of the photos wearing the jersey of “Totò” Di Natale at the WWE event in Brussels that have made the rounds around the world and that we had shown you a few days ago (READ HERE). Since he was a young boy fan of Udinese and a wrestling enthusiast, we contacted him giving him space in a nice exclusive interview in which he explained how the idea of showing up with the jersey of the historic Juventus bomber in Belgium was born.
How did your passions for Udinese and WWE come about?
“My passion for WWE goes hand in hand with that of soccer having I lived through the golden years of John Cena, Rey Mysterio and whatnot. Living in Friuli I have always followed Udinese of which I am a fan. A passion born in the “special years” of the bianconeri when Udinese was treading the European stages led in attack by Di Natale and Alexis Sanchez. Those were incredible years, as were the WWE years. They are two great passions that I have always had.”
