Salvatore Schillaci: When ‘Toto’s stare was the star

Salvatore Schillaci: When 'Toto's stare was the star

By now, comparisons were being made with Paolo Rossi, the inspiration when Italy won the 1982 World Cup.

“Rossi was a champion,” Schillaci said ahead of a semi-final against Argentina that his side were expected to win. “I am an ordinary, modest guy. I just hope I can continue to do what I have been doing.”

He did, opening the scoring with another poacher’s effort, but this time it was not enough. Italy passed England’s record of 499 minutes without conceding at a finals before their goal was breached in the second half – and the fairy tale was finished when they went out on penalties.

Every national newspaper in Italy used the headline ‘End of a dream’ while Gazzetta and Corriere dello Sport simply put ‘NO’ in huge letters on their front pages.

“We deserved to win,” reflected Schillaci. “I think if we had beaten Argentina we would have gone on to win the World Cup.”

That was not quite the end of the Schillaci story, however. The day before West Germany beat Argentina in the final, he grabbed his sixth goal of the tournament in the third-place play-off against England, putting him ahead of Czech Tomas Skuhravy as the tournament’s leading goalscorer.

“After the tournament, I went away to somewhere quiet,” Schillaci says. “Everybody wanted a piece of me but I just wanted to get away from it all, especially after the pain of our semi-final defeat.”

The next time he made the headlines, it would be for a less savoury reason. The following November, he was banned for one game for threatening to have Fabio Poll shot after the Bologna player punched him during an on-pitch row.

By then, the goals were drying up too. He scored only five in the league in the 1990-91 season and six the following campaign. An injury-plagued move to Inter Milan in 1992 failed to revive him and he ended his career in exile – albeit a lucrative one – as the first Italian to play in Japan’s fledgling J-League.

While he was still in Serie A and struggling to regain his World Cup form, Schillaci said: “Even if I were to drop out of the Italian team, I will still have with me for the rest of my life the wonderful memories of Italia ’90.”

He still had them after returning to his home city to run the youth academy he used to play for.

What was clear from talking to Schillaci was that, while he enjoyed reliving past glories when he was asked to play in exhibition matches, he was also happy his fame did not change him too much.

Elisandra Ferreira win vacant atomweight title

Elisandra Ferreira is the new Invicta atomweight champion.

Invicta FC 57 took place Friday at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan., featuring a championship bout for the vacant atomweight title. Elisandra Ferreira took Andressa Romero in a hard-fought battle over 25 minutes. After the dust settled, Ferreira was crowned the new Invicta atomweight champion by unanimous decision (48-47, 48-47, 49-46).

The fight was intense.

Ferreira set the tone early in the opening round by clipping Romero with punches. However, as the fight went on, things evened out. Romero quickly rebounded to win Round 2, tying up the fight on all three judges’ scorecards.

The fight became an all-out scrap between two fighters hungry to claim the vacant title. Both had moments on the feet and in the grappling department, but often, the pair just slugged it out as they stood toe-to-toe.

The judges scored the fight unanimously in Ferreira’s favor, crowning the 26-year-old Brazilian the new champion.

Injury ends Invicta FC 57 co-feature early

The co-main event ended abruptly in an unfortunate fashion.

Nayara Maia took on Kristina Williams in a flyweight bout, but the fight was over before the fighters got into their rhythm. Unfortunately for Maia (7-2-1), who was sporting knee braces on both legs, she could not continue after her right knee gave out while charging forward with punches. As a result, Williams (8-4) earned a TKO victory in just 31 seconds.
