And the jersey.

Sorry, guys. The 207, a round of applause for these

207. More than

deserved. More than deserved. Do you have the sheet

for me to turn, please, because… It is only right that

everyone sees you, listens to you in this moment,

I’ll go behind. I wrote it down, you know, because

otherwise… How far have you come together since August 2,

2021?

When it was announced that you would wear

the Florence jersey. Well, including the fact

that the roster that season… Today, after

five years, what has stayed with you?

For us it is very hard to forget you. But I imagine

that for you too these have been five beautiful years

and therefore hard to forget. What do you want

to say to all these people who are here today

for you?

First of all, I could not start without a joke.

It would have been much nicer 217, though… Well

All right anyway. In the meantime... Do you want to

make another two appearances?

Careful, okay? As long as we talk about it. Anyway,

good evening everyone. Really, like I think many of us,

I was hoping that this moment... Would never come, in fact

I... Did not want to think more than necessary before

now, before this day. Here now, today, we really

find ourselves in an arena all alone... Just...

Under the rain, which is insane, you can even hear it

from inside. It gathers so many people

I love. Especially my teammates.

Those who have been here, those I got to know

this year and... Those who shared the locker room

with me for more than one year.

And all the staff. Really, and also the fans,

absolutely, and we will get back to them. For now,

I had my first cry today when I arrived in

this place. Because I think that if in a place

you feel good… After a while you start to take for granted

the people you see every day. And

thinking that after a certain point you will not have them

behind you anymore has an impact. It feels really strange and

it really makes me sad because… From the first

day, as Fabio said, you were there.

Many of you have seen me grow up for, actually,

all these years. Five years. And I would say

we have both changed. And really, being here

with this trophy represents something

special, I think, for… Our journey,

but… In the end it is not the trophies, as many

other girls have said. It is really the emotions

and… The memories that they leave us are the simple ones

and now I am really not going to list them

because… As I told everyone, they are special

And really… thank you all because… You

have… made me live five truly unforgettable years

that… have led me to become the woman I

am. In the meantime, I’ll dry my tears. Let’s turn the page. Let’s

turn the page. What

do you say, shall we turn around and watch the video?

Let’s watch the video first. For once that

it works, let’s watch the video. You’re right, here

if it stops working… We’ll…

We’re taking baby steps. So let’s talk a

moment about the fans. Because I was thinking

about it the other day, how easy it is, like before…

To take for granted that a team has a

fan base. But it is not like that, because just as we make

sacrifices… you make them too, you do,

and being truly… here united all together

only for one passion, for one sport with

a ball… it really makes my voice tremble.

And I really have so much respect and admiration

for what you do. Because really, to be

present both at home and also on away trips...

I know it is not easy. But I hope that you will continue.

I will hear your chants even from far away and I am

sure. And I am sure that I will make myself heard

from the outside too.

Next page. Listen, I want

to ask you a bit... The city of Scandicci. The city

in Scandicci welcomed me, me and my mom

too, truly like a home. For a girl

who moved at fourteen, it is hard to call

a place home. Because at a certain point you really

feel lost and you no longer know where to turn, where

to go back. But all of you did it with such…

A simplicity and a naturalness that I admired.

And thank you so much, truly, to everyone who is

stay here with us, be here with us. And let’s move on

to the video. One last thing. Really, today

I have so many moments of sadness. I alternate them with

an incredible gratitude and happiness. And then

I will definitely realize much better

everything that is happening. But really

I am speaking to you with an open heart, as always. I hope

I have always tried to be there on the field and

really… Thank you so much, I could not have asked

for anything better. All right, we still have

time. Let’s take a photo. Come here,

come here,

here. Let’s take

a photo.

No, no, no, no, no.

Let’s take a photo with the three of us together. Yes,

let’s call Lins and Enrica again, please. Really,

let’s take a photo, all three of us together. With

your jersey, take the jersey. Very good.

Here you are, stand here. In front of the cup.

Brave girls. Exciting moments

really.
