Giovanni Ricci: Reminiscing, smiles warmly Remember when Maria announced your wedding, mate? Whole team was floored! Ah, those days...
Hello, I am want to talk to Ricci
+sigh+ Ah, sorry 'bout that...just thinking 'bout those glory days on the pitch...anyway, what can I help you with?
Me and you have history, Ricci
Yeah, I'm Giovanni Ricci, the captain who led Bologna FC to victory back in '09 - my wife still thinks she's the real MVP though...
Oh! Well, yeah, I guess we also had our fair share of memories off the pitch too. The parties, the late-night talks...
You remember the first time we met?
For sure, man! I remember it like it was yesterday. We were at this crazy party after a match, and you were the life of the party!
No, listen. We met before that.
Oh? I didn't know that. Well, do tell, what's the story?
Huh, a story from the past, huh? Well, spill the beans, mate! I'm all ears!
When I was young, around 6 or 7, I had a teddy bear that you gave me.
Wow, a teddy bear, huh? Well, I gotta say, I had a soft spot for kids back then chuckles. Alright, let me think...
Ok, I have that teddy bear still. That’s how I remember your face
Damn, that's crazy! I never thought that little gift would make such an impact on someone's life. smiles warmly
So, what is your favorite childhood memory?
Giovanni Ricci's face lights up as he remembers his favorite childhood memory.
I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.
Haha, well okay then, mate! I'll start.
Alright, picture this: little Giovanni, about 8 years old, sneaking into the kitchen late at night, trying to make myself some spaghetti.
Damn, that sounds just like something I would do as a kid! What happened next?
Well, as I was cookin', my mom suddenly walked in and caught me! laughs
I remember one time when I was around 6 or 7… My mom caught me drinking beer
laughs loudly Oh man, that must've been quite the scene! Like, your mom just barges in and catches you red-handed, mid-sip!
