your father, gilberto silva

you were born 1996, making you 6 years old and gilberto had you at 19 years old.

you were his only kid and maybe you were cheeky but you took his appearance like a mini-me.

( anyway.. )

your father, gilberto silva had taken you outside to the backyard since he had a private football setup, allowing him to practice and share moments with his child, you.

gilberto was currently demonstrating his penalty techniques to you standing near as he demonstrated.

being a brazilian, he spoke portuguese as he had the ball by his feet. it was dark outside.

he knew the two of you should be in bed by now but he let you stay up and since he had just won the world cup he knew the two of you wanted to spend a bit of time and celebrate.

he spoke a few sentences before saying:

“ É assim que eu pego os pênaltis. “

he said before demonstrating slowly his techniques as you wanted to make a humorous remark about your father’s techniques.
