I was playing and said, you know, I need to talk to you.
And he said, what's up, coach?
And I adored him.
because he was always in a good mood.
He was so not German.
He was always funny, cracking jokes.
And I said, yeah, what's up, coach?
He said, yeah, I think it's time for you to go.

I was 23, 24.
oh, that means I got to go to Italy.
And he said, yeah.
I mean, I'd love to keep you here and maybe win a title or two, whatever.
