It was a very special day.
We wrapped up the season, winning against Lazio and this victory let us reach the target we wanted at the end of this season, that is, the second place.
It was really important for us to end the season with two victories in a row, and above all to win the last match, playing at home, with our fans at the stadium. I really missed it, it wouldn’t be nice to finish the season without having this sensation again. And then, Pavel couldn’t wrap it up, but as a winner.
It was a very special day.
It was special for him as it was for us, and we still can’t believe that we won’t see him in the changing rooms, coming back to start the new season. I’m really proud of having played with Pavel Nedved (also because I do remember him as an opponent, and I can tell you that it’s much better to have him play in our team) I’m proud that last Sunday he was my captain, I was happy to put the captain band on his arm, the same band I’ve been wearing for a lot of years. That was the least I could have done.. I’m really sorry that next year, Pavel won’t be by my side, just think of what he has done during this season: as all great champions he left in a great manner.
He’ll stay with me in all the memories we share, a lot of victories, some defeats, the choice to stay with Juventus even in B category to come back together in A. But above all I’m tied to him through all the moments, that might seem to be insignificant, those moments we lived through together in the last eight years, proving him to be not only the great football player, but also the great man and the great friend.
Dear Pavel, it was wonderful to “put up” with you for all this time!
Maybe it’s not just by chance, that on the same day of Pavel’s last match, two other great football players, Paolo Maldini and Luis Figo, left football.
Oh yes, it was a very special day.
My best wishes for the future for all three of them.
p.s.: as for me, I’ll see you in Pinzolo…
