  • Di Andrea Pirlo
    WIKO SCENDE IN CAMPO COME MAIN SPONSOR PER “LA NOTTE DEL MAESTRO” DI ANDREA PIRLO Milano, 21/05/2018 – Wiko annuncia la sponsorship della partita di addio al calcio giocato di Andrea Pirlo, “La Notte del Maestro”, che tra poche ore riempirà lo stadio Giuseppe Meazza di Milano, dove sono attesi migliaia di fan e due formazioni stellari di sportivi che hanno scritto la storia del calcio, in Italia e all’estero. In qualità di main sponsor, Wiko sarà presente sulle maglie dei due team in campo, White Stars e Blue Stars, capitanati per l’occasione da Conte, Ancelotti, Allegri e Tassotti. Il brand Wiko sarà protagonista all’interno dello stadio anche sui maxischermi, sui led display a bordocampo, oltre che nell’arco che i giocatori attraverseranno per entrare in campo. Wiko avrà inoltre un palco d’eccezione posizionato accanto alla panchina dei giocatori, che offrirà una prospettiva unica agli ospiti. I fan di Wiko che non saranno presenti allo stadio, potranno seguire l’evento e sentirsi parte integrante di esso con #LussoDemocratico, lanciato in occasione dell’arrivo in Italia dei nuovi smartphone Wiko View 2 e View 2 Pro che, grazie al display da 19:9, garantiscono un’esperienza d’uso ancora più coinvolgente, ad un prezzo competitivo. A tutti coloro che saranno presenti a San Siro invece, Wiko ha riservato una sorpresa prima dell’ingresso allo stadio: gli spettatori saranno infatti accolti dai Wiko Ambassador, pronti a tatuargli sulla mano lo stesso simbolo apparso nei giorni scorsi sulla mano destra di Andrea Pirlo. Coincidenze? Assolutamente no. Si tratta della forma che contraddistingue View 2 e View 2 Pro, ben visibile dal notch tondo che racchiude la fotocamera frontale, e che Andrea ha reso virale sui social mentre stava definendo la formazione che avrebbe schierato in campo.

Negli ultimi 30 anni le due formazioni, inserite nel Gruppo C insieme a Francia e Romania, si sono affrontate otto volte, senza che l’Olanda centrasse nemmeno una vittoria. • L’ultimo successo olandese sull’Italia risale al 21 giugno 1978, a Buenos Aires: 2-1 nella gara conclusiva della seconda fase a gironi della Coppa del Mondo, una vittoria che avrebbe spalancato agli Orange le porte della finale. Gli Azzurri erano passati in vantaggio grazie ad un’autorete di Ernie Brandts, che aveva poi segnato la rete del pareggio dell’Olanda, prima del gol-partita di Arie Haan. • Negli ultimi 30 anni gli Azzurri hanno ottenuto sei vittorie e due pareggi contro l’Olanda, incluso lo storico successo ai rigori nella semifinale di UEFA EURO 2000™. • Pur costretti in inferiorità numerica dal 34’ del primo tempo a causa dell’espulsione di Gianluca Zambrotta, gli Azzurri riuscirono a tenere testa all’Olanda, che durante i tempi regolamentari fallì ben due calci di rigore.

Italy had taken the lead through an Ernie Brandts own goal but Brandts himself restored parity before Arie Haan struck the Netherlands' winner. • Italy have held the upper hand over the ensuing three decades, during which they have recorded two draws and six wins against the Oranje, including a penalty shoot-out triumph following a goalless semi-final at UEFA EURO 2000™. • Despite playing against ten men from the 34th minute when Gianluca Zambrotta was sent off, the tournament co-hosts paid the price for two missed penalties during normal time.

Back in 1983 the reigning world champions had gone down 3-0 to Sweden as they failed to qualify for the 1984 UEFA European Championship; this time they have made it to Austria and Switzerland at least, but unless they respond in the right manner against Romania, they may not be around for long. • While Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wesley Sneijder and Giovanni van Bronckhorst were putting the Azzurri to the sword in Berne on Monday, Romania claimed a creditable point from their first fixture against France in Zurich, which finished in a 0-0 draw. • Romania will now look to build on that positive opening against the last team to better them on the élite European stage – Italy having prevailed 2-0 when these teams met at UEFA EURO 2000™. • Italy won that quarter-final between the teams 2-0 in Brussels, Francesco Totti and Filippo Inzaghi scoring against a Romania side who lost captain Gheorghe Hagi to a red card on his 125th and final appearance for his country.
