Video of the week: Italian amateur football bloopers
It's the summer, and that means summer friendlies. And most Italian clubs (the ones that don't go abroad and play in makeshift tournaments vs other big sides) stay in a remote town up in northern Italy or even another country like Austria. So, to gain match fitness, they play summer friendlies, and these summer friendlies are most of the time vs whatever local side the club can find, usually made up of the town butcher, a construction worker, some bricklayers, and a few office workers.
