The Sky Original docu-series A teamProduced by Fandango, Sky and Luce Cinecittà, after the transition to cinema, comes from today May 14 at 9.15 pm on TV on Sky Documentaries, also available on demand and streaming on NOW: here is the trailer and photos of the series.
The series tells of a team that is at times divided, fragmented, with difficult, conflicting relationships, both between the players and with those who coach and train them. A team, a national team, which, when victory is within reach, is opposed and fought in its own country. And despite all this in those years the strongest team in the world.
On Sunday 15 May, immediately after the final of the Internazionali d’Italia, the first two episodes of Una Squadra will also be broadcast on Sky Sport Uno.
This is the official summary:
From 1976 to 1980, Italy was the team to beat. We’re talking tennis and the trophy you’re fighting for is the Davis Cup. The team consists of four players, four champions: Corrado Barazzutti, Paolo Bertolucci, Adriano Panatta, Tonino Zugarelli. In those five years they reached the final four times, only winning in ’76 against Chile. Reached the final but then lost in ’77 against Australia, in ’79 against the US and in ’80 against Czechoslovakia. In ’76 and ’77, the team captained an Italian tennis legend, Nicola Pietrangeli, who only retired from competitive activity a few years ago as a non-player. Pietrangeli will be sacked by his players after the defeat in Australia in ’77. He considers it the greatest betrayal he has endured in his life.
