Tuttosport's Golden Boy

...Even as the sky falls upon them, they cannot let go.

Jermaine Boghossian, retiring sports journalist, returns to where he broke his first major story. In the boggy marshes of Bergen Aan Zee of Benelux, which was once called The Netherlands, he sits in wait for a man. Thiel Neot, 3x Balon D'Or winner and Golden Boy winner in 3476. Its been 40 years since he met the next Johannes Cruijff. The world never met the next Cruijff, and perhaps Aulus won't either.

The rain falls where the sod still stinks of blood, where the embers of war still smoulder and searchlights fill the sky where fireworks celebrating the end of the war don't.
