"And so... of this long history that has united us for some time, I feel like we are at an end" he wrote on social networks a year ago. Today the coexistence with the disease is over: Alfredo Pala is dead.
Born in Sassari in 1958, he was known throughout the island for having been a footballer for Torres, Porto Torres and Sorso di Amarildo who played in Serie C. And Alfredo with his flair in attack had the Brazilian mentality. Spectacular player with personality, capable of surprising, even capable of scoring two goals against Cagliari in a friendly. Amarildo himself said to him: «But why don't you play in Serie A?».
Once he finished with football he led the youth sector of Latte Dolce and a few years ago Torres called him as general manager of the most successful women's club in Italy. He was also a testimonial together with the young Alessia in the video story of Kick Cancer Away, the social project of Torres Feminine.
For three years, Alfredo Pala had kept a sort of diary of his experience with the disease on Facebook. Very popular. Words, photos and sometimes some videos. With delicacy and realism, without sweetening anything but without even loading it. He recounted the hard moments of therapy, the bad news, but also the flashes of serenity between a ball dribble in the garden and the embrace of the family.
