Two men in black suits sat in the commentator's booth close to the top of the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium. One was Fabio Crudeli, a middle-aged man with a lean physique, while the other was Tiziano Caressa, an aged man with streaks of white in his hair. They were the two Italian sports journalists chosen to provide commentary for that year's Supercoppa Italiana.
The two men had ample experience and would never lack words for any situation on the field of play. They were like walking football dictionaries, and they would always effortlessly find perfect descriptions for any scenario happening during the game. They were true poets, and anyone listening to their commentary could vividly visualize the exact plays on the pitch even while not watching a game. If there were awards for commentators, maybe they would come in the second and third-best positions, with only Peter Drury, the British sports commentator, coming up ahead of them.
