My Mother Quit Her Job, Then Roma Replaced Me | Marco Amelia

FULL EPISODE ON @championsconnectYT Marco Amelia started as a striker. Then, aged seven or eight, he went in goal, saved a penalty and never came out again. From Lupa Frascati in his home town he moved into Roma's academy. Roma's training centre was 45 km from home, two hours a day in Rome traffic. So his mother gave up her job to drive him, and his parents lived on one salary so he could chase the dream. He says he has to thank them every single day. Then, at 19, Roma bought another goalkeeper. Marco left for Livorno in the third division, four hours from home, and started again from day one. 0:00 The penalty that made him a goalkeeper 2:02 His parents' sacrifice 6:38 Roma buy another keeper 8:38 Day one in Livorno 11:40 Growing up with men at 15 #ChampionsConnect #MarcoAmelia #Football
