“Six thousand, one hundred and eleven days. Semilacentoundici moments of pure passion. Of joy, of crying, of defeats and victories
Thanks to every one of you, because each of you has helped to make every moment of my life special in black and white. A life that has become a second skin.
A skin that I have worn, loved and respected. And that I have guarded and protected with all of myself. With all my limitations, but also with all the passion that has always accompanied me.
With tomorrow, a path ends. End a book we wrote together. The emotion is so great. Too much.
I arrived at the stadium by bike. I was so young.
And tomorrow I would like to metaphorically walk away to be able to savour every moment, feel the fatigue of detachment. And the joy of greetings.
And to understand that I will never be far from that place that I will call “home”. Forever! To greet the companions and friends that I will never stop calling FRATELLI.
Until the end! Forever yours”
Gianluigi Buffon.
