Stamford Bridge’s emotional tribute to Vialli

Chelsea and Stamford Bridge surrendered this Sunday an emotional tribute to Gianluca Vialli, the great legend who died on the 6th of this month of January. The legend who as a player defended the shirt of Chelsea between 1996 and 1999 and was their coach between 1998 and 2000. A symbol for Italian and world football.

“Valli, Vialli”. The song to remember the beloved striker and later the Italian coach of the ‘blue’ team. A large banner in his memory in the stands. Chelsea players, wearing Vialli’s ‘9’ shirt during their warm-up. And the minute applause. Flowers in his memory outside Stamford Bridge.

Iconic players from Chelsea’s history such as John Terry, Chris Sutton, Graeme Le Saux, Mario Melchiot and Jody Morris, who were Vialli’s teammates in the ‘blue’ team, were on the pitch during the tribute and later witnessed the match against Crystal Palace from the stands. In the box was Mykhailo Mudryk, a new Chelsea player, who was introduced to the fans during the break.
