#il duello

[tvserie-film]

Title: Arena (1944) Author: Fredric Brown Vote: 7.5/10 One of the most imaginative stories I've ever read and also interesting. The duel is both one of strength, intelligence and will in which perhaps only by chance the human being manages to prevail over the alien. A challenge that hangs in the balance until the last page and which leads to the genocide of an entire race.

grazie herr roth per averci regalato un ulteriore esemplare di uomo di fine ottocento emotivamente represso alle prese con la fine di un’era e lo smarrimento da ciò derivante, la tragedia di una guerra imminente, gli orrori della condizione umana, l’incomunicabilità con l’Altro, e un numero indefinito di situazioni assai cinematograficamente omoerotiche. i suoi servigi sono molto apprezzati

Vita con Brand #22

-Brand, te lo ricordi il duello finale con Nanni mano lesta?

-Me lo ricordo, Sir. C'era stata una sparatoria infernale per diventare sceriffo di quella regione. Corpi a terra, ovunque. Era rimasto in piedi solo lui. Ci trovammo di fronte. Lui scosto' la giacca di montone lasciando sbrilluccicare al sole la sua colt d'argento e manico d'avorio bianco con inciso il suo Iban bancario. Con lui mai nessun pistolero era riuscito ad avere la meglio. Aspettai che estraesse, che sparasse. click..click..avevo contato i colpi, li aveva finiti. Lentamente tirai fuori la mia vecchia colt e, puntandola dissi:

- Tu sei come la maggioranza degli imprenditori italiani che ti hanno votato e finanziato. Qualsiasi cosa vogliono sono pronti a prendersela, con ogni mezzo. Tu sei un "Toti" qualunque, una vergogna di questo Paese. Non meriti quella stella!

E gli piantai una palla al centro della fronte.

"In queste nove stagioni di Formula 1 alle quali Max Verstappen ha preso parte, abbiamo conosciuto un ragazzo poco incline alla socializzazione, parzialmente freddo, distaccato e spesso irriverente anche nei confronti di chi - come Lewis Hamilton o Sebastian Vettel - ha scritto la storia recente della Formula 1.

A dirla tutta, Max non è mai stato tenero nei confronti di nessuno. O quasi.

Spesso accusato dalla stragrande maggioranza dei tifosi di essere saccente ed arrogante anche nei confronti degli stessi colleghi, il venticinquenne di Hasselt sembra infatti riservare (nelle dichiarazioni e non solo) un rispetto fuori dal comune nei confronti di un solo ed unico pilota: Charles Leclerc.

Tantissimi sono stati infatti gli attestati di stima espressi da Super Max nei confronti del coetaneo monegasco negli ultimi anni.

Da bambini si sono letteralmente odiati e non hanno mai avuto problemi ad ammetterlo.

Crescendo, tuttavia, si sono resi conto che il talento osservato nel rispettivo piede destro non ha forse eguali nel mondo delle competizioni motoristiche.

Una consapevolezza reciproca che ha portato i due non solo a rispettarsi, ma a difendersi vicendevolmente dagli attacchi giunti nei loro confronti da parte dei media.

E in questo Max è semplicemente straordinario.

Al termine del Gran Premio svoltosi in Austria poco meno di una settimana fa, alcuni giornalisti, nel tentativo di elogiarlo, hanno sottolineato come lui si fosse preso una bella rivincita nei confronti di Charles, vittorioso un anno fu sul circuito di Spielberg.

Max non ci sta, e attacca:

"Charles sa come battersi e ve lo ha dimostrato. Non posso considerare il nostro duello un vero duello. Le nostre auto hanno un ritmo diverso, e in quel momento avevano anche mescole diverse".

A Baku era accaduta la medesima cosa. A chi gli chiedeva se fosse sorpreso dalla pole del collega di Monaco, Max rispose così:

"Se sono sorpreso dal passo di Leclerc? No, di Charles non sono affatto sorpreso. Lui qui è sempre molto veloce, anzi, è sempre veloce ovunque. A Baku sono tre pole position consecutive se non mi sbaglio, giusto?".

Nel corso della scorsa stagione, Verstappen aveva invece speso le seguenti parole nei confronti di Leclerc:

"Penso che Charles sia uno dei piloti più talentuosi in Formula 1 e vincerà molte gare. Lui è davvero un bravo ragazzo. Abbiamo la stessa età, penso ci dividano solo settimane. Lo rispetto enormemente, è un piacere lottare con lui e con un team come la Ferrari".

Questi due ragazzi, per concludere, hanno tra le proprie mani le chiavi del futuro della Formula 1. La speranza (condivisa da entrambi e da tutti i tifosi) è che possano presto passarsele di mano in mano, dando vita ad un duello indimenticabile capace di durare a lungo.

Quello che tuttavia resta, delle parole di Max, è la lezione di vita offerta dal Campione del Mondo agli odiatori seriali, a chi segue la Formula 1 in modo superficiale, a chi commenta senza cognizione di causa inondando i social di insulti e opinioni che non meriterebbero alcuna visibilità.

Ecco, questa è la risposta più bella.

A splendid article in Italian of how Max adores Charles and always defends him, which in his case rarely happens towards someone else because he tends to attack rather than protect others.

kvara si rende conto che forse la rivalità che sente per davide non è esattamente platonica. enjoy!

Lui non era mai stato un tipo molto aperto, anzi, fin da piccolo era stato un ragazzo di poche parole, che faticava a fare amicizia con gli altri. Impacciato, taciturno, goffo.

Khvicha non aveva molti posti nel mondo da chiamare casa. Certo, c'era la sua terra natale, ma ormai la Georgia si trovava a migliaia di kilometri si distanza da lui. E quella grande e strana città nella quale ora viveva, dove tutti lo trattavano come un dio, dove inneggiavano il suo nome e dove avevano esposto foto, bandiere e murales con la sua faccia e quelle dei suoi compagni, non poteva certo essere considerata davvero casa, o perlomeno non ancora. Si sentiva più come un re nel suo palazzo dorato pieno delle sue chincaglierie: bello, anche divertente viverci, ma gli mancava quel calore, quella familiarità che solo un posto che veramente si considera casa potrebbe dare.

Ma il campo. Il campo da calcio era tutta un'altra storia.

Forse era lì, solo lì, che si sentiva veramente nel luogo dove poteva essere completamente libero. Senza paranoie, senza pensieri. Gli bastava avere un pallone tra i piedi e nient'altro per tornare a respirare con leggerezza. Per tornare a sentirsi di nuovo vivo.

E non c'era momento in cui si sentiva più vivo che durante i big match, quelli contro le altre grandi squadre, quelli che contavano davvero, quelli dove giocano i fuoriclasse che ti spingono a dare il meglio di te per non esserne da meno, che ti fanno sudare ogni centimetro conquistato, ogni pallone, l'adrenalina alle stelle.

Era da poco più di un anno al Napoli, eppure già si era scontrato con alcune delle più grandi squadre europee, contro diversi calciatori che gli avevano dato filo da torcere e che gli avevano regalato la soddisfazione di un vero duello.

Eppure.

Eppure c'era qualcosa di diverso con quel Calabria.

Dal primo momento in cui si erano ritrovati faccia a faccia, con lo sguardo intenso dell'altro completamente concentrato su di lui, Khvicha era stato investito da una scarica di adrenalina diversa dalle altre. Era come se Calabria fosse il suo doppio, anticipava quasi ogni sua mossa, gli era costantemente col fiato sul collo. Khvicha era suo, e non se lo sarebbe fatto scappare per nulla al mondo.

Anche questo primo scontro di stagione non era stato diverso. Khvicha avrebbe mentito se non avesse ammesso di aver aspettato con ansia proprio il momento in cui lui e Calabria si sarebbero di nuovo ritrovati sullo stesso campo.

Alla fine però, questa volta, nessuno dei due aveva davvero vinto. Un pareggio, forse evitabile, forse no, ma comunque un pareggio. La frustrazione gli bruciava dentro. Aveva deluso i loro tifosi, per giunta in casa, e se solo quella palla fosse entrata in porta all'ultimo momento, allora –

«Hey, great match!»

Khvicha si girò verso Calabria. Gli si stava avvicinando ancora col fiatone, ma con un sorriso compiaciuto sulle labbra. Inspiegabilmente, il suo primo, irrazionale pensiero fu che gli mancava vederlo coi suoi vecchi capelli ricci.

Scosse la testa. «Yeah, you've been very good, man» gli rispose, ricambiando il sorriso.

Questa volta Calabria rise di gusto. «You're pretty good yourself!» disse, per poi avvicinarglisi ancora di più, a braccia aperte. E per quanto solitamente lui non fosse il tipo da contatto fisico ravvicinato con persone che conosceva poco, aprì a sua volta le braccia e ricambiò l'abbraccio senza un attimo di esitazione. Poteva giurare di sentire Calabria sorridere mentre gli stringeva un braccio intorno alle spalle, la mano che si alzava ad accarezzargli la testa.

Una calda sensazione che proveniva da qualche parte nella sua pancia gli risalì fino al petto. Cercò di ignorarla, focalizzandosi solo sul calore dell'abbraccio dell'altro. Respirò a fondo l'odore di sudore dell'altro per calmarsi. Sudore, erba falciata, terreno umido: quelli erano gli odori del campo, odori di casa, che non mancavano mai di farlo stare meglio. Calabria sapeva di tutti questi messi insieme, e di un altro odore che non riusciva a classificare ma che doveva essere semplicemente lui. Era un buon odore, pensò.

Quando si separarono – e oddio, quanto tempo era passato? Gli era sembrata passata un'eternità, ma dovevano essere stati solo pochi secondi – Calabria gli stava ancora sorridendo, tutto denti. Khvicha notò che quando sorrideva gli si formavano delle rughe di espressione intorno agli occhi. Perché le trovava adorabili?

Dopo un attimo di quella che per un momento gli era sembrata esitazione – doveva essere un abbaglio, esitazione per cosa? – Calabria si allontanò, salutandolo con una mano. «To the next match!» urlò, prima di raggiungere i suoi compagni.

Khvicha restituì il saluto, anche se ormai non gli stava più prestando attenzione. Al prossimo match, di nuovo. Sarebbero passati mesi prima di riscontrarsi. Non era una novità.

E allora perché il cuore gli si era stretto in petto a sentire quelle parole?

---------------------------------------------------

Khvicha non aveva idea del perché, ma quell'abbraccio era stato ripreso da praticamente tutti gli account sportivi italiani.

Cioè, era solo un abbraccio. Un sacco di avversari si salutano alla fine di una partita, no? Però tutti sembravano voler elevare quel momento a picco massimo della sportività tra due avversari, per qualche strana ragione. Forse era proprio perché la rivalità tra lui e Calabria era ormai nota, e quell'abbraccio a qualcuno poteva essere sembrato strano per quello. Sbuffò. Per certe persone era davvero difficile distinguere la rivalità sul campo dalla vita vera. Lui era esattamente l'opposto, e una rivalità così sentita non poteva portargli altro che avere maggior ammirazione del suo avversario, e quell'abbraccio non ne era stato che la naturale conseguenza. Semplice rispetto reciproco. Nulla di più.

Il fatto che si fosse andato a cercare e salvare tutte le angolazioni possibili in cui i giornalisti avevano scattato quel momento era un altro discorso. Era un bel ricordo da mantenere, ecco tutto.

Fu proprio mentra scollava il feed di Instagram che si accorse che Calabria aveva messo una nuova storia. Toccò l'icona rotonda colorata senza neanche pensarci su e si ritrovò davanti la foto di loro due che si abbracciavano, con la caption Respect.

Di nuovo quella sensazione di calore in fondo allo stomaco. E stava pure sorridendo come un deficiente.

Mise un cuore alla storia e gli mandò un messaggio.

Respect to you too, brother

It was a fun match

Chiuse Instagram e bloccò lo schermo del telefono. Aspettò la bellezza di dieci secondi netti prima di sbloccarlo di nuovo per controllare se ci fosse un messaggio di risposta. Ma che cazzo gli stava prendendo.

Stava per ribloccare il telefonino e andarlo a chiudere a chiave in un cassetto per non toccarlo mai più, quando il suono di una notifica echeggiò per la stanza. Erano due messaggi di Calabria.

Li aprì subito.

It's always fun to play against you! 😉

I wish we could do it more often... ☹

Oh. Quindi anche a Calabria mancava scontrarsi con lui. Sentì il cuore iniziare a battere più forte.

Me too

Si fermò un secondo, poi aggiunse un altro messaggio:

I really like how we fit together on the field

Ecco, l'aveva inviato. Oddio, sperava di non essere andato troppo oltre con quel commento. E se avesse frainteso? Se gli avesse dato fastidio? Se –

Oh you bet we fit well together 😉

Khvicha dovette ripetersi più volte che stavano parlando solo ed esclusivamente dei loro scontri sul campo di calcio. Nient'altro.

Uno scontro sul campo particolarmente allusivo.

Cazzo cazzo cazzo.

Il suono di una nuova notifica gli evitò un crollo mentale imminente riportandolo alla realtà.

How about we see each other for a rematch next time we both have a free day? I could come to Napoli or you could come to Milano

What do you think? 😁

Khvicha rilesse quelle parole.

Cosa ne pensava? Pensava che forse, forse, quello che provava per Calabria non era solo ammirazione da avversario e che forse aveva un principio di infatuamento...

(Ripensò ai suoi occhi azzurri, ai suoi capelli ricci, al suo sorriso che gli arrivava fino agli occhi: forse il forse era un eufemismo)

...e forse questo suo infatuamento era ricambiato.

I would like that very much, Cala

La risposta arrivò dopo qualche istante.

❤

And please, call me Davide 😉

Khvicha sorrise. Forse poteva anche trovarsi a migliaia di kilometri da casa sua, ma chi lo diceva che non se ne poteva costruire una nuova dalle fondamenta?

Thank you, Davide

Alla domanda retorica della Gruber: “Siamo davanti alla tanto annunciata escalation di Israele contro l’Iran?”, che presuppone risposta terronizzante per casalingue e medioman, stile uhh è sempre tuttacolpa dei guerrafondai ebbrei che ci voglian rovinare la altrimenti pacifica convivenza, Lucio Caracciolo direttore di Limes risponde da esperto e signore, sprezzante e chiarificatrice: “Si è chiusa la fase cominciata a Damasco il 1 aprile con l’attacco israeliano al consolato iraniano dove sono stati uccisi un generale e altri ufficiali. Consolato si fa per dire, perché non credo fossero lì per il rinnovo del passaporto. Poi c’è stata la replica iraniana obbligata, talmente obbligata che si sono tutti messi d’accordo perché non succedesse nulla di sabato notte. Questa notte c’è stata una risposta di cui sappiamo molto poco ma di cui vediamo le conseguenze, cioè più o meno pari a quello che avevano fatto gli iraniani con qualche tecnologia in più, per dire che questo round è chiuso”.

Oibò, come la Russia che non attacca sul serio: niente Terza Guerra Mondiale per adesso, niente riconferma di Biden come fosse Roosevelt, toccherà farle davvero 'ste elezioni americane.

[poesiablog60]

Miriàm, sai cos'è la grazia?

Non di preciso, risposi.

Non è un'andatura attraente, non è un portamento elevato di certe nostre donne bene in mostra.

È la forza sovrumana di affrontare il mondo da soli senza sforzo, sfidarlo a duello tutto intero senza neanche spettinarsi.

Erri De Luca

[abatelunare]

- Sposarsi senz'amore è tanto vile e indegno d'un uomo quanto il servir messa senza la fede. (Anton Pavlovic Cechov, Il duello).
