00:00Good evening Luca from an Italian journalist. I wanted to thank you for everything that you've
00:05shown not only tonight but throughout your career. Once again you signed off as a top-class player
00:11scoring despite having missed a penalty. I just wanted to say this to you. I'd like to ask you
00:15to never retire from your playing career because you're one of the finest players I've ever
00:20commentated on. Thank you. Thank you very much for this wonderful tribute.
00:35Right from the bottom of my heart I thank you. I'd also like to keep playing forever
00:43but there probably will come a time when I have to hang up my boots.
00:46I'll keep playing on. I don't know for how much longer but thank you very much for your words.
