You never forget the joy of your first goal, especially when it marks a new and important chapter in your career. This was the case for Lorenzo Lucca, who after scoring his first goal in an Ajax shirt, exulted by taking the ball back to midfield. On the first ball touch during the big match against PSV, his kick in the penalty area revived the fans and definitively shone a light on him, the first Italian to wear the red and white jersey of the Amsterdam team. We have chosen to tell a story of ambition and talent in this More Than. It was at the beginning of August, when all the talk in Italy was of possible market strikes by the most emblazoned teams, from AC Milan intent on closing negotiations for Charles De Ketelaere while Inter were courting both Dybala and Lukaku and Juventus were bringing Pogba and Di Maria to Turin. At the same time, Lorenzo Lucca, after scoring goals in bunches with Palermo and Pisa, had been approached during the summer by every possible Serie A team. Out of all of them, however, Ajax surprisingly popped up and decided to invest in one of the most intriguing forwards of the new Italian generation.

A team where Lorenzo Lucca is slowly finding his dimension, as he told us sitting at a table in Café't Smalle, a classic Dutch pub located in the Jordaan district. A club that has always had an incomparable charm and tradition, made immortal by the champions and shirts that have marked a century and more of football history. The classic white jersey with the big red vertical stripe was introduced back in 1911 when the Lancers landed in the Eredivisie and were forced to change their jersey, which was originally black and red, due to the similarity with Sparta Rotterdam's uniform: the Amsterdam team has worn them in all colors and patterns, with stripes, with the three X's symbol of the capital, with geometric and camouflage patterns, with the Three Little Birds dedicated to Bob Marley - or the latest one in chronological order - made in collaboration with Daily Paper.

A feeling of belonging that he himself felt when he wore the Ajax jersey for the first time in that always packed stadium. “The Ajax jersey is historic, and it's definitely the best one I've ever worn. I really like the third jersey made with Daily Paper though, so much so that every time we use it, I take it home.” The unique jersey pays homage to the infamous Amsterdam city football grounds, the 'pleintjes' in Dutch, which have long been the training ground for legends, icons, and current rising stars of the club. Because beyond its aesthetic, Ajax has always been an inimitable school of football, a training ground in which shining talents have been forged and have gone on to travel the world conquering audiences, trophies, and records. But in addition to the Godenzonen jersey, when asked if there is another jersey to which he is particularly attached aesthetically, Lorenzo Lucca responds almost immediately, without any doubt: "the all-white Real Madrid one! Classic and without too many special details. Then beyond the aesthetic question it represents the history of Real Madrid."
