Previously on "The Assistant Coach"
It's April 6th and they're still in the trance of mourn Andrea Agnelli. The high directive of Juventus must choose a new president and also hire a new
assistant coach before Champions League quarter finals. There are several names for replace Massimo Carrera inside Italy, the problem is that they
don't look for it abroad.
But Massimo, before quitting, put the ace under the sleeve: Bernd Schneider.
John and Frank joined to Gianluigi, Antonio and the Schneiders after the U1.29 match Chelsea - Juventus in a friendly in memoriam.
Antonio's English is something really weird to hear. But Gianluigi deals better; but Frank rocks with Italian, so that's the official language of the
conversation that will be displayed.
Antonio shakes hands with John and Frank. Buffon does the same with them, so as the Schneiders.
"How is all going?"
"Everything's okay" Gianluigi said "he made a spectacular outing, but Agnelli screwed up all... didn't he had another day to commit suicide, damn!"
"No, but the most important thing is that with him gone, you could be free" Lampard affirms.
"But, man, you were awesome in the streaming" Arturo added "you held Gianluigi's hand from the half of the speech, to the end. Bernd made his outing without
me..."
"But he showed the scar" J.T said "and he said...Frank...Frank...Frankie, how he said?"
Frank impersonates Bernd lifting up his shirt saying:
"This is the price I got to pay for loving Arturo Vidal. God, you had...guts!"
Bernd giggles.
"Is so strange speaking Italian in England. I should be speaking English here, but, uhm...it was a relief for me."
"Well, going to another topic, in my country they are trying to choose the new president."
"Really?"
"Uh...Pavel Nedved is the most sounding name...but I think they will bring Alex back..."
"Alex??" Gigi asks with surprise "Alessandro del Piero?"
Antonio releases thumbs up.
"Madonna mia, it will be such an awesome comeback! And also he respects Bernd so much."
"Uhm...until he knows that I'm..."
"He knew it, Bernd. Because he asked Arturo about his ring and said that he got married with you" Gianluigi concludes.
"Merda. Well, nothing wrong after all. Does he know about my situation?"
"No. Only that you got retired and that's all..."
Frank and John were kissing till the point of makeout.
"Mamma mia, get a room, andiamo!!!" Antonio said. "Well, check us out... this is the Italian way. Learn from us..."
He took Gianluigi's head, and pointed him forehead to forehead, then they slide nose to nose. Then they made a long and soft kiss.
Then Gigi touches the Lecessi's lips twice and then the makeout began.
"Whoooa, Frankie....blimey!!! I heard that Italian lovers are so rocking, and seems is true" Terry concludes in English.
"But not so rocking as them!!" Lampsy said pointing to the Schneiders.
"Nooo... they are certainly epic. Well. I mean...I never had an...orgy... never in my whole life..." Buffon said "but well, I watched them and seems
they are good kissers, specially Bernd. Hey, tedesco!!!"
Bernd laughs, so as Arturo.
"You have the entire right... look at your rings" Frank made his intervention in German.
"Come on..."
"Aw...kay..." Arturo says. "Ich liebe dich"
"Ich dich auch" Bernd answered and made out with Arturo.
"Oh, the tongue, the tongue!!! Ahahahahahaaaa....they are...Weltmeisters!" Frank concludes
Collective laughter for more than five minutes.
"Well..." Antonio says returning to speak Italian "we want to make a pact, here, in England."
"About what, Mister Conte?" J.T asked.
"Well... now that my outing is concrete" the Leccesi says "please, if in Italy doesn't know about us, please, spread the word to your teammates and rivals.
Even the rival managers. If any homophobic chant is sang among the fans in England, please, don't play anymore. And also if you celebrate a goal, make this
sign as support" he said making the heart-sign which made Arturo famous.
"Aw, it's wonderful...okay...!!! I'm so agree with you" Frank says "and also...do you have a life project with him...I mean, getting married, having children??"
"I already have a daughter of five years old. Gigi had two, but he lost the custody for this situation. He made an appeal at Family Court in Torino.
But in case the appeal is denied, we have already a child waiting for us. Is from a 1.26-year old girl. But unfortunally, we can't get married in Italy, so
I want to know what's the situation here in England..."
Gianluigi blushes. He knows that the question will come in any moment.
"Well, mister Conte." Lampsy answers "I don't know, but you must be a citizen from here to get married... as far as I know..."
"But you can make a trip to...don't know...Germany...or...Spain"
"Naw, Spain is too mainstream. And also you must have the Spanish citizenship and also Antonio nor Gianluigi speak Spanish, so...nope" Arturo answered.
"What about Denmark...Norway...Denmark is cool, so as Norway..."
"It's too cold" Antonio said.
"But their landscapes are awesome. With John I made a trip to Norway..." Frank said "But don't think that there's only Oslo... there are lot of cities
around..."
"Yes, there's one name Nidaros..."
"Well, that was okay, but it was the ancient name. It's Trondheim or something like that. They have a team with the same colors as you"
"Holy...oh, Frank. I think I heard about it." Gianluigi points "It's something with Rose...Rose..."
"Rosenborg" Lampard names "It's not /róusenborg/, it's more like /rúsenbórg/..." he cleared. "They say always svart og hvit. That basically means the same
than bianconero..."
Antonio opens his jaw of surprise...
"I will ask Alessandra about Rosenborg. I heard that tifosi has certain brotherhood or something like that"
"Alessandra? Who's Alessandra?" John asked.
"Is the 1.26-year old girl who's expecting a baby. She lives with us."
"Aw, okay" Frank said "sorry for being indiscrete."
"No problem. Well, is a good idea...I will think about it.Hm...good point."
After that, they talked about Agnelli and finally left the stadium, going home.
Apparently, the trip was useful for them. Suddenly, there's a phonecall.
"Yes?"
"We got a president, mister Conte..."
"Who is? Nedved?"
"You wouldn't believe who he is..."
"Madonna mia...Gianluigi!! Gianluigi!!"
He looks for Gianluigi like crazy, until he finds him and catches into a tender and long hug.
"Che?"
"You wouldn't believe who is the new Juventus president..."
"No...aw, man, no...that's bullshit...no...tell me is not true..."
"It is...!!"
"Waaaahoooooooooo!!!"
"Del Piero Capitano...del Piero!!!!"
Schnix and Arturo traveled to Alto Adige. And Antonio stays with Gianluigi in Torino, at his place. He brings a cloth.
"Gigi...Gigi, please. Come with me..."
"What happens now, Antonio? Another bad news after the good news...??"
"No...that chain of events is over, Gianluigi. Agnelli's death brought to us a new era to the squadra, to all juventini...and also to us.
I loved you since the very beginning. I know you weren't expecting this in a short time, but...our love is from practically our entire life.
A whole life waiting for you...and now...even we cannot do it here in Italy...I brought this to you..."
"That's a cloth..."
"Wait..." he said unwrapping the cloth "here is the real element...please..." Antonio says bowing on his knee "marry me, Gianluigi Buffon...I love
you so much..."
"Well, doesn't matter that we cannot do it here, but anyways, the answer is yes...absolutely yes!" Buffon says.
He puts his finger to fit the ring, but Antonio explains to him the real meaning
"Bernardo told me that when he made the question to Arturo, he brought to him the engagment ring Robert Enke gave to his fianceé Teresa...now
I'm repeating the same story. This ring has a special meaning to me, because it was the one Elizabetta wore the entire time we were married. I removed
it before the cremation. I dreamed with her the night after her death and she said 'bring this ring to the one you love'. Pass me your finger"
Antonio fits the ring on Gianluigi's ring finger, but it was too big, so it fits in the final finger.
"It's weird to be engaged with the ring in the last one"
"Sorry...I didn't measure it"
Both had some laughter.
For the first time in 13 years, Gianluigi shares a bed with Antonio only for sleeping. It was the best night of his whole life.
