  今天,我们给大家介绍 Monica Garruccio,她是一位优秀的女子足球运动员。她和丈夫妇唱夫随,他们是以足球结缘的,你想了解他们的故事吗?那就读读下面的短文吧!

Monica Garruccio spends her evenings training and her weekends playing football, for Serie Achampions, Torres, no less. In Italy, a country not known for its forward-thinkingtake on gender roles, Monica and Antonio begin to look like a more distinctive couple.
