"My history as a sportsman and my professional history at MSC have always been intertwined with great captains. I like to compare the captains of sports and football to the captains of cruise ships, who sail the seas all over the world every day. It is for this reason that I believe there is no more suitable place than our beautiful MSC World Europa to host the presentation of a book so full of sporting spirit, history, personal and professional memories of the world of football. Gianfranco Coppola pays homage to the great captains of Italian football with a special focus on the Captains who have worn the blue jersey, another passion that unites us”, said Leonardo Massa, Vice President Southern Europe cruise division MSC Group.
