Words cannot express the gratitude to you. It doesn’t occur always in football that results are grateful to the people who dedicate it everything, the soul, the talent, the work. But this time was for you the excellent time, and you deserved it all. So, you will forgive me if the poverty of my words is more visible today in front of the greatness of your work. I and everybody thank you, our beloved Gianni, for giving this nation a joy so unusual. I personally thank you for giving me an example so precious with your persistence to reach the dream, even when everybody else was ready to surrender. Honor to you and your family, who agreed on you migrating in Albania and thoroughly supported you in the crazy search of the Promised Land here, in our homeland. I know that there would be many now those who will want you for their own, in Italy and elsewhere. People with more money and more valued team than our national team, your national team. But we don’t let you go. We have learned this from you. And we will do everything, if we are required, we will seize your Italian passport, and leave you with just the Albanian passport.
