INFO:

Former Bologna legend and one of the numerous oriundi. Fedullo was skillful inside forward with excellent technique and dribbling. He was main creator in great Bologna side of 30's, had deadly left foot although he fired rockets also with right foot, had innate talent and supreme footwork, lacked the pace but had good passing range and tactical positioning as well as solid strength. Fedullo played in Bologna from 1930-31 to 1938-39, with 276 appearances and 56 goals in red and blue, between the league and cups. Champion of Italy in 1936, 1937 and 1939. Winner of 2 European Cups in 1932 and 1934 and the Tournament of Paris Expo in 1937. At 2 in the national games and 3 goals in 4 games and the B 3 goals. In the photo above: left Fedullo first plan in 1932, the center in action during a Bologna-Juventus 4-0 of 24.5.1931, right into the action "Littoriale" during a Bologna - Rome 4 April 1937, which ended 1-0 for the red and blue. It all began with a tour in South America in 1929, when a fresh title Bologna he was invited by the stronger teams of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil to compete with these on the football field. Cruise on the Red Count, good life, dancing and champagne, but then every two games - three days, big brawl and results, both for the fatigue of travel, or because we played house of the strongest teams in South America, not exceptional. But the tour reserved a result of immense prestige in Montevideo defeated Bologna 1-0, with goals of "motor" Magnozzi, the 'Uruguay 2 times Olympic champion in '24 and '28, Uruguay and the Nasazzi Scarone , a national legend, that next year would be crowned World Champion. And it served as a tour guide in Montevideo Ivo Fiorentini, competent and journalist who emigrated from Faenza, which Sabbatini (an officer of Bologna) and Felsner asked whether there were elements of value that would be worth hiring. Since Libonatti Julio Toro and the Bears had broken in Juventus, the natives began to be beaten track. The Bologna then, are on the site, obviously you looked around. But we lived well in Montevideo, and after two Olympics had not won a mecca in Europe, but there ... Florentines also made the name of Francisco Fedullo, class 1905, mezzala ambidextrous, parents are from Salerno. He worked and played in a pantofolificio nell'Istitucion, the team of a district of the capital. PR was also five times to replace the National Scarone idol, he was fine, had to persuade him, but how? He thought himself the day he lost his temper, punched the referee. Automatic disqualification for life. Following the success of Uruguay in the first World Cup in '30, Fedullo asks the favor - after losing the injured party - he is given, but on one condition: that does not set foot on a field of Montevideo. It 'an opportunity to accept the offer of Bologna. Red and blue will be the big news of the season, along with Montesanto Reguzzoni, came to reinforce a team that first year has left a little to be desired. The Bolognese are a little disappointed at the beginning. Fedullo, who meanwhile has already Italianized named Francis (and with), it takes a while 'to settle. Although it is good, for he is a new game to be had, but then things improve quickly. The player is strong, you see, a little 'slow maybe, but divinely passes the ball on the surface of grass, has a sense of place and an excellent shot with both feet. The Sunday that trims a slap at Milan, every great concern is that outdated. And 'quite a championship, finished third behind Juventus and Bologna, Rome, Fedullo played 30 games scoring 5 goals. It begins as the new 1931-32 season on 19 games unbeaten run puts Bologna. Behind him, however, also Juventus lose a few shots and when to seven days from the end, you play the decisive match in Turin, on a Sunday of rain and mud, Bologna, 2-1 in the lead, unfortunately heels in the second half , complicit in the operation that puts out killer Mountains Schiavio game, which allows it to Juventus to reverse the situation and to secure the title. A hoax, a championship they deserved the red and blue, a league that was wrongly taken away from red and blue and the mountains of violence go unpunished. Meanwhile, Fedullo She's definitely established himself as the brains of the game. Apart from the character a little 'difficult and touchy (not talk much, it is rather detached), defects are hard to find. Ends up being targeted by Vittorio Pozzo, who, lacking venutigli Magnozzi and Ferrari took the opportunity to deploy against Switzerland Fedullo, alongside the Neapolitans and Vojak Sallustro. Needless to say you played in Naples, Ascarelli stage, and Italy won 3-0, but with great disappointment that the Neapolitans were expecting from their havoc Sallustro goals are all three of Fedullo. Well after the game, which is also a journalist and to write a service, our interview asking him how he did and the three networks, as it is shady, do you think he wants to take the piss and sends him to hell. End of a Love. Fedullo can sit in the B team and save a bet isolated in Brussels the following year (3-2 with Belgium) will have other chances. Fortunately there to console themselves with the Bologna, who won two European Cup, but in the league for one reason or another, no longer able to join the fight for the title. In April '35, when there are still nine Sunday at the end, she escapes with Nettunia Fedullo and return to Uruguay, while Juventus also the Bears cut the rope. It 'was the illness of his father to induce Fedullo to escape, even if does not arrive in time to embrace the old sick parent. Soon after Francisco writes Dall'Ara asking for forgiveness. The president, who was only waiting, send Pascucci, assistant coach, to fetch him. They'll be back in three, with a young man a little 'chubby, almost unknown, named Andreolo ... Morality, in the end, not one but three league titles won with Fedullo: '36, '37 and '39 with the addition of the trophy in the middle of the Expo in Paris, which is equivalent to another European club. Fedullo in 1939 has been 34 years, in Europe the lightning on the horizon herald a big storm, he a bit 'sniffs the air, a little' feel the years and the nostalgia. This time the dismissal is final, and according to all the rules. Back in Montevideo, Fedullo Francisco never forgot his Bologna, wrote often of the journalist Nino Opium his desire to return to Italy and Bologna. Fedullo will not live very long. In 1963 it cut off an incurable disease at age 58.
