Hi everyone again,

Today I wasn't able to write any chapters because I was quite busy.
I also went to watch the Perugia vs Padova match.

What can I say... it didn't go great. Today Yuki got blocked several times, and I could see he was quite frustrated. He even started making mistakes and became almost greedy. At least that was the impression I had watching him (especially when he was on the bench during the timeouts).

It was tough for the guys to win, and in the fourth set, I was really afraid they might lose. Padova's supporters were on fire, and I felt bad for the Perugia players.
In the end, they won, and that's what matters.

However, today I realized how maybe the expectations are too high. Everyone seems to expect so much from him, whether it's the fans, the opponents, or even Perugia itself.
I just hope he doesn't let it all overwhelm him. I hope he takes care of himself and doesn't push himself too much.
Unlike last week, there were way too many fans waiting for him after the match. They were pushing, and I even got squashed.
Honestly, after I gave him my little gift, I felt guilty. Yes, I'm happy and lucky to have been able to give him something again and take a picture together, but I doubt I'd do it again next time, not if people are as "aggressive" as they were today...

That's it, I just needed to write down these thoughts somewhere.

I wish you all a great day, and I'll see you soon with new chapters!
Here are some photos.
