Previously on "The Assistant Coach"
Antonio and Gianluigi shalled the efforts to make the trip to Alto Adige (in German, Südtirol) to visit Bernd and Arturo. They left Alessandra
in charge of Vittoria. Antonio, now can be easy. His daughter is sleeping. And he must know if the children are sleeping.
"Yeah. Roberta and Rafaella are sleeping, but Iker and his games with Robbie cannot let me browse in an easy way and remove parental control"
"Okay. Be sure that Iker is sleeping for the time we arrive"
"Yes, Antonio. See you. Is Alessandra there?"
"No, she's in charge of my daughter and she's not legal for seeing the material."
"Kay, see you."
The phone was cut.
Bernd tried to make Iker to bathe. He says is too early for getting the bath. But despite of Iker's whining, Bernd must set the kid to the bathtub.
"Is too early, papa Bernd!"
"But you must sleep, lil' man...come on..."
Then, he had the solution. He made him drink a medicine for allergies, called clorphenamine. In less than 10 minutes it made effect.
"I will never do this again, Iker, is just a plan between Togno, Gigi and me, sorry!"
The tantrum is over and Iker falls sleep.
"Ja!"
Once all kids are sleeping, Arturo turned on the computer and deactivated parental control.
"Togno, Gigi, benvenutto... shhh...come to my private chamber" Arturo said.
The quartet were tiptoeing for going into the private room.
"Hey...you are free..."
"Why?"
"Like in Jena, we have a special room. It has acoustic isolation, so kids cannot hear us while..."
"Ohhhh! I understand...good idea" Buffon whispers to Conte.
"Okay...let's go...which site?"
"Go to La Repubblica. Agnelli said that he sold the video to that site..."
"Did you deactivate parental control?"
"Yes, I did..."
Conte sighs.
The news said: "Antonio Conte's private video appears 13 years later.
A private informant passed the original videotape to Juventus' president Andrea Agnelli for more than a million euros."
"Check out, Bernd, read it. You have better pronounciation"
"'Rumour mill was around the last few weeks about a private video with Antonio Conte, having intercourse with another man, recorded 13 years ago.
Apparently, the rumours were true, when a president Agnelli's secret informant, released the videotape, just 24 hours before Elizabetta Conte commited
suicide about almost a month ago.
According to the data, it has a duration of a half an hour and the date is listed from September- October of 2000. The man who appears in the video
is younger than him. Apparently is someone similar to Juventus' goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.' Ahahaha. Busted. Someone similar. ahahahahaaa..."
And then a big window appears with the triangle.
"Holy crap. Play it, play it, goddamn!" Antonio said nervous.
"Easy" he said holding his hand.
He pressed play and the video began to circle. The buffering started.
"What the chronometer says, Arturo?"
"It's in zero, mister Conte."
"Goddamn, now it's one minute..."
"One minute?"
The scene was identical to the one they saw in Antonio's private house in a few weeks ago.
"Hey!"
"ahahahah, only one minute? Paid several million bucks for only...one minute?"
All laughed hard.
"Oh, there's some text below, read it, please, Arturo."
"'Only the first minute of the videotape could be released to the press. Apparently, for the data of time of the video - more than 13 years -
it got seriously distorted by failures in the ribbon casette, which presented serious scratches and holes.'"
"Yeah! At last...only kissing and touch. No sex after all..." Arturo said giving Hi-5 to Gianluigi.
"Wait a sec. I must wake up Vittoria after I arrive home."
"No, Antonio. Ask her tomorrow."
"Okay."
"Arturo...do...do you have the Zip disk?"
"Yeah...here it is..."
"Well done, keep it secret, keep it safe, Arturo. Is the only way we know how the video continues."
"Yes, sir."
The other day, Antonio wakes up Vittoria, with Alessandra, which now is glad to have her 3-month baby. (He had two and a half months when the incident
happened)
"She slept very well, signore. By the way, I told her I'd give her a brother or a sister..."
"Let me ask you something, Vittoria..."
"Papa...where's signore Gigi...??"
"He's doing the breakfast dearie. Prepare for your cookies & cream (sic) milk and your..."
"...Nutella!"
Antonio hugs his daughter. Gianluigi is glad looking at them. He's already shirtless making the breakfast. No bobbypins on his hair.
"Whoa, signore Gigi looks hairy..."
"Yes... sometimes men has hair on their chests. Others, for looking... gorgeous for girls, they rip them off..."
"Ohhhh..." she said giggling "okay..."
"Are you ready? Water's boiling...milk is warm..."
"Yes..."
"There you go, dear..." Gianluigi says while pouring milk on her glass. "Alessandra?"
"Can you bring me a glass of cold water, please?"
"Sure..."
Gianluigi puts the glass to Alessandra for filling her tea cup.
After all, breakfast time.
Then, Antonio began to ask to his daughter, using a speech adequate for a 5-year old.
"Do you remember the day before mum went away?"
"Yes...she played with me a little while, even he made me a gift. Some earrings which had a swan on the package."
"And then?"
"After that, she brought me to the bedroom, where you and mum...you know, sleep... but... she showed me like a small tape. A tape for camera.
The camera was very old. It was heavy and it had a lot of wires."
"Cables, dearie." Gianluigi corrects.
"Okay, signore Gigi, I say 'wires'. It's the same. And then she said: 'Take this tape and do whatever with it.'"
"Okay...and what did you do with the tape"
"I opened it a little and it had a brown or black ribbon and then I expelled them all of. I got wrapped with it."
"Oh...and then?"
"Then she made me with a pen to put a hole on it. I made three or four holes. And then she made me clean the mess."
"Did you clean up the mess, Vittoria?" Alessandra asked.
"Yes, I did. I was difficult, but with mum I could do it. And after that, we went to the Stadium. She made me to stay in the car. I was really nervous.
I couldn't be a good girl. I got down and then I was into the tunnel, the changing room and then I could see mummy bringing the tape to the president.
And she was pouring tears. I went away, I ran really fast... I got into the car and wait for mum. Then, she said: ' I did it for better. I watched it and
it's horrible' and then I said 'you are crying' and she said 'it's okay, dearie, let's go home.'"
"And that was the last day you could see mum...huh?"
"Yes. After that, she said she needed to rest, but she got a bottle of something. She never takes bottles to the bedroom."
"Thanks, dearie. That's what all I needed to know. You are a good girl, Vittoria. Take a sip of your milk" Antonio says.
"Wow. She's got a very clear memory, Antonio... a 5-year old girl made the best for you. Well, at least not whole Italy will see the vid." Gianluigi
said.
"But at least she did it for me...she brought a destroyed videotape."
"See? She knew it since the beginning and she tried to protect Vittoria destroying it. She will never know."
Antonio hugs Gianluigi and says: "I know that we'll not have a legal future here in Italy, but... I want to seal our love... please, Gianluigi...
let's have a trip somewhere we can get married...in Italy we can't, but..."
"It's okay, Antonio. It's okay..."
"Is that a yes or a no?
"It's a no. But don't worry. You must talk first about your contract, about mine's. Because I'm involved in that videotape... don't forget it.
I love you...I love you so much."
While Alessandra and Vittoria are drinking a sip of their tea and milk. She smiles while seeing Antonio hugging Gianluigi.
"You love each other." Vittoria said "I know... you can get married anywhere... even beyond Europe."
"I have a wonderful idea" Antonio said.
