"We remembered Astori, on every pitch. And we were moved once again. Why did his death affect us so much? He wasn't a star player, he wasn't a football “superstar”. Nor was he a TV personality. He was just a footballer. In his eyes, we saw passion, loyalty and love for the game. No show of strength, arrogance or conceit. Just dedication to his team and his teammates. And kindness. That's it: kindness. We mourn him because Davide succeeded where we struggle. He managed to remain a man, a father, a husband, a son, a kind footballer. In a world, that of football, where hatred, cunning, money and partisanship reign undisturbed."
