His name is Franco Nocera, a Milan supporter by trade, and he is the last anonymous to have been entitled to his quarter of an hour of fame in Italy.
This 49-year-old biker is indeed the happy man who transported Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the bottom of the balloons so that the latter, blocked in traffic jams, does not arrive too late at the Italian institution that represents the Sanremo festival, of which he was a co-presenter on Italian TV.
The guy told the anecdote to all the Italian media, and his testimony was relayed by RMC: “I was stuck on the road when I saw this black van with two people inside.
One looked like Ibrahimovic.
The driver rolled down the window and Ibra himself asked me to accompany him to Sanremo.
I said 'yes of course no problem'.
I had a second helmet under my seat.
I called my wife and told her: "I am taking Ibra to Sanremo".
She didn't believe me.

"No Ibra, I drive"
Yet it was such an improbable excuse for arriving home late that she could not suffer the slightest doubt.
Franco was a little tense to have the fate of his favorite team's center-forward in his not very expert hands (first time on the highway), but he didn't give in when Zlatan asked him to take the lead. handlebars: “Ibra wanted to drive,” he says.
But I said "no Ibra, I'm driving" ".
The good man has therefore received more consideration from the Swede than half of his career coaches.
