Unbelievable
Ante has concluded a deal with Milan, after three years in Frankfurt he's ready to leave towards a new horizon, André Silva will replace him and he's sure that everything will be fine for the family who adopted him when he was still too young to understand everything. His suitcases are ready and he has returned the key to his apartment, even if he is only on loan he knows he wants to stay the furthest from Frankfurt for the moment. He needs to get away, Seb and Luka have left him, Lukas left a year earlier, all his friends are leaving and Ante is starting to feel alone. He's a last time at the Commerz-Bank Arena, to watch it before going to the airport, he had some great moments here, but it's too late to be nostalgic, his signature lies on pieces of paper.
Ante doesn't want to regret his choice, he did it knowing that he was putting everything he loved aside. His fists are clenched thinking about the Pokal, he must turn the page, his adventure is elsewhere. Ante swallows the lump in his throat when he hears a rustle behind him, a sigh that he knows, that he knows accompanied by a comforting smile.
"I thought you would come and tell me instead of running away like that." Of course, Ante should have left earlier to avoid this moment
"Coach..."
"It's gonna to be okay Ante, I know why you are leaving and I can't blame you." Niko's arms wrap around his waist, his breath hot on his back
''Why am I leaving? You don't know it Niko.''
''I saw you grow Ante, I know you better than you think. You are leaving because you love me, because I am no longer here and you want to forget me.''
"Niko..."
"I know I'm right Ante, you are and you will always be my player."
"So why did you let me ?!"
''Ante... I would have brought you with me if I could, do you think I felt nothing when I found myself without you in Munich? I counted the days before our games, I still need you in my life ''
"Tell me it's true Niko, that you're not lying to me to make me come back afterwards."
"I love you Ante, I will never lie to you."
"Niko..."
''Promise me you'll be happy there...'' Ante clenches both his teeth and Niko's hands in his
"I will, Niko."
