If I come in, I might shock some people.
So I need from you a piece of paper saying I have the carte blanche.
It's not about money.
It's about how I want to do it.
Two goalkeepers had field player jerseys made because we had no field players anymore.
It gets worse.
You beat us with half a score.
Yeah, my son is a goalkeeper, and he grew up obviously in America, in California, but then he came over to Europe, played at Hertha Berlin for two years, then he went to Switzerland, went back to the Los Angeles Galaxy, played at MLS for three years, and then was...
Taken by Cesena, a team that kind of was bankrupt six, seven years ago and was taken over by American investors.
And they come from California and they came up and said, we would love to have him in Italy.
So he became the goalkeeper two years ago.
And then last season was voted best goalkeeper in Serie B, so like the championship.
And was doing extremely well, was called in by Maurizio Pochettino for two camps.
And Maurizio looked at him and was very impressed and had a good chance to go to this summer's World Cup.
But then it happened pretty much four weeks ago that in a game in Palermo, which is owned by Man City, a midfielder from Palermo crashed into him when he was on the ground.
He caught a ball and he lost his balance, that midfielder, and he smashed with his knee into the back of his head.
And he broke his neck.
And it was a highly complicated situation where then they in Palermo, the hospital, said we cannot.
It's too complicated for us.
We cannot help.
