The Stories Of Italian Hero Leonardo Bonucci Punching An Armed Robber And Chugging Beers Makes Him The Biggest Bad Ass In Soccer

Leonardo Bonucci is a hero in Italy and delivered one of the better press conferences I've seen. Just out here chugging a beer and promising to drink whatever that night. That's how you party. But it's not that surprising. Leonardo Bonucci is a certified, grade A bad ass. 

All that talk about soccer plays being soft? Not Bonucci. Just clocking dudes with guns pointed at his head. So you think playing at Wembley and trailing 1-0 would be a big deal to him? Nope. He's just going to keep on playing. The man is 34-years old, which I know doesn't sound old, but we're talking big time sports here. The moment someone turns 30 people act like they are in a wheelchair. But not Bonucci. He showed up and trolled the shit out of England fans last night too. 

[Goal] - When taking a lap of honour, Bonucci trolled England fans, shouting: “More pasta! We need to eat more pasta!”

Additionally, he grabbed a camera and shouted: “It’s coming to Rome” in reference to the “It’s Coming Home” slogan used by Three Lions fans throughout much of this – and previous – tournaments.

That man was ready to party all night. No doubt about it. You show up to a press conference ready to chug beers after playing 120 minutes of soccer and you're going to get shit faced. Bonucci deserved it. Again, how much of a lunatic do you have to be to punch an armed robber when they have a gun to your head? Some people truly are built different.
