Discover the story of the song > La leva calcistica della classe ’68 – Francesco De Gregori

The song talks about a boy named Nino who plays football despite his fear of failure. The lyrics encourage Nino to not be afraid of missing a penalty or making a mistake, as these don't define a player. Instead, the song highlights the importance of courage, selflessness, and creativity in a player. The bridge and outro sections discuss the many players who have given up or never found true happiness in love, while the second verse describes how Nino's determination and skill helped him score a goal.
