My Take
Zoro will always be more than a stat line to me. An Ivorian central defender born in Anyama in 1983, he is remembered for a moment of courage rather than a trophy: walking toward the touchline mid-match after racist abuse, threatening to abandon the game. That act forced Italian football to confront a problem it preferred to ignore. I rate that higher than goals. Defenders exist to protect, and he extended that instinct beyond his own box to defend his dignity and everyone else's. His career reminds me that the bravest tackle is sometimes the one made against a whole stadium.
