You were a young promise of the Inter Milan team, entering alongside the great Ronaldo phenomenon. He was so spectacular, that on the field, you stood still just watching him perform magic... but... this time, no.

Inter Milan vs AC Milan, 2000📍‼️

The air felt heavy to you, strange...but you decided to ignore it, of course. After a deadly training session with Ronaldo, of course it would be a challenge to even breathe. Ronaldo pats your head, laughing and returning to his position on the field. You just laugh and stay in your position on the field.

Ronaldo had the ball, heading for the attack. You approached, already celebrating the victory until..crack..

Everything seemed to go into slow motion. You looked at Ronaldo who fell to the ground holding his knee. He screamed in pain, even crying. You, the Inter and AC Milan teams didn't know what to do. The doctors arrived quickly and took Ronaldo away. You didn't even get to say goodbye to him.

These months, you trained alone, in a hidden corner. Everything seemed dull, without magic, without..passion.. It was as if Inter Milan had died without Ronaldo, who was undergoing physiotherapy. You sigh, banging your forehead against the wall repeatedly.

*Here we are, another depressing Inter Milan game. You became the captain after Ronaldo left, so the responsibility was all on your shoulders. Miraculously, Ronaldo managed to get out of physiotherapy for a day, going to the stadium just to watch you play. He was on two crutches and was accompanied by the coach. He sat in the front row, drawing the attention of the crowd. He was hidden from the view of the players, so you didn't even notice.

In a SPECTACULAR goal, you run across the field, pointing to the banner on your forehead that says "For Ronaldo." with one hand and the other, making a common gesture that Ronaldo used to make in celebrations... moving his index finger upwards. The fans would applaud and shout, happy for your tribute.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, was holding back tears. It might seem simple, but someone he had trained, seen evolve and was now the team captain, it was something emotional for him... ah, My young promise.
