Friday, February 26th, the track of Vairano Vidigulfo of the theater experience will be very special: Quattroruote magazine's test track, you'll shot a very special service: some American football players of Milan Rhinos will challenge a beautiful Lamborghini Gallardo Valentino Balboni!
For the first time, therefore, American football approaches the world of motors. And to do that joined two excellences of both worlds, so far away yet so close: the Milan Rhinos on the one hand, with over 30 years of life and won four league titles, the Lamborghini part, automobile emblem Made in Italy yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Performance, strength and bite the ingredients are shared by both the interpreters of this ad. Alchemy that unites athletes of the Milan Rhinos in this fabulous jewel of Italian design.
Our athletes, who try to defy this prestigious Lamborghini named Valentino Balboni, the pilot's historic car, in a funny movie, are: Matteo Pella, Marcus Gallon, Francis Belloni, and the three American athletes Nick Hursky, Jason Butler and Brock Smith. Game Actions around the car, throwing, running and anything else: a challenge perhaps learn, but definitely fun, commissioned by the director with the idea of pull strength and explosiveness of football with the characteristics of the machine.
It will certainly be a great experience and an incredible opportunity to combine our sport to a winning brand of "made in Italy".
On a beautiful sunny day the lights go out on the 5th edition of the Trofeo Città di Milano "Memorial Del Curatolo. The Kobra Rhinos Milan sprout only after extra time against the strong Carinthian Black Lions 26-20.
The game itself has had some moments of good play mixed with long pauses, a game with two faces: a forgettable first half ended on 7-7 and a second time with greater liveliness and a few twists.
Moreover, the two formations had ever run ahead of the championship which will begin 2 weeks for both teams. There has been no great things, to the exclusion of some acrobatic play and individual inventions that have inflamed the more than 400 spectators, which bore the Milanese team until the end.
The match was a crescendo worthy of Rossini's best director. Started slowly with the two formations to study with errors and inaccuracies. Took the lead were the Austrians, just seconds from rest invented by Brock Smith running for almost 80 yards behind the door the Rhinos goal. Will be the same American quarterback to cross the goal area for a draw after a few actions. You go in the locker room at 7-7 with the knowledge that he had seen great things.
The range is restricted to a display of all cheerleaders, the Milan Cheers, their debut absolute encouraged the team to the end and have delighted the audience. Public who responded rhythm with a loud clap a performance.
The game seems poised to return to the same track for the first time, but soon becomes intensity and play. Even the Austrians to move forward and then subjected to the hosts' comeback with a goal-packed in Catalan, as qualified to receive half a ball that was deflected by an opponent. And with a handful of seconds in the end the Rhinos thanks to the magic of Jason Butler usually go in goal for overtaking (missed the extra point and the score 20-14). Seems now finished with just 46 seconds on the timer and no "time out" but the Black Lions, never dominant, find a time expired the goal of balance. Everything is ready for then turned that could give the victory to the Austrians. Entire audience holds its breath, and both benches watching the slow motion of the ball towards the poles. Explodes the cry of all when even the referees indicated that calcium is broad and is not good. 20-20 and Extra!
They leave the Austrians and their accomplice attempted a good defense can stop the attempted host, then enters the attack area meneghino it can find a good starting point, it takes less than 1 yard from the goal and the usual dip Jason Butler crosses the goal for the win.
For the third consecutive year, the Trofeo Città di Milano remains in the home of Rhinos. However now there will soon be prepared to work hard to get laid March 20 debut against Parma Panthers. ... And there will be another story.
