"O captain, my captain. Why didn't you come down to have breakfast with us all? Why didn't you come to pick up your shoes outside Marco's room and come and drink your usual orange juice? Now they will tell us that life goes on, that we must look ahead and get back on our feet, but what will your absence taste like? Who will arrive every morning in the canteen to warm up the atmosphere with their smile? Who will ask us curiously what we did the night before so we can laugh about it? Who will scold the younger ones and who will hold the more experienced ones accountable? Who will form the circle to play “two touches” or who will drive Marco crazy at the play? With whom will we debate the episodes of “Masterchef”, Florentine restaurants, TV series or football matches? Who will I lean on at lunch after an exhausting training session? Come back, you still have to finish watching “LaLaLand” so you can analyse it like every other newly released film. Come back to Florence, they're waiting for you at the office to renew your contract and recognise the good and positivity you bring to all of us every day. Get out of that damn room, we'll be waiting for you tomorrow when training resumes. In life, there are people you've known forever but will never bond with, and then there are people like Davide who immediately win you over with a simple “Welcome to Florence, Ricky”. Wherever you are now, continue to defend our goal and light the way for us from the back. O captain, my captain. Forever my captain."
