AS Roma Forum

Good old Gervais,
I wrote a song for you,
you were running on the field,
towards the goal line,
you were sprinting through,
surrounded by a green ocean,
and then you hit the target,
bending the keeper's gloves

Oh Gervais,
someone once told me
that when a flying Dutch dies,
someone has to replace him,
from the deep forest of Africa,
to the Deûle's banks,
from the the cold Thames' waters,
to the Tiber and the Bohai Sea,
you don't swim, but run!

Now Barilla gives you enough money
to buy ham and parmesan
but you stick to beef and salad
'cause you want to keep being fit,
you're not a Nainggolan, after all!

should the match so require,
you would certainly provide
your beloved teammates
with tackles and slides
to bounce back from the opponents'attacks
and bring catenaccio to the next level!
Inglese is there, just waiting...

(William McGonagall)
