AN OPEN LETTER FROM FILIPPO INZAGHI

Everything that you’re about to read is secondary to this. The first and foremost thing that I want you all to know is I played and won for "us". Playing and winning without sharing the emotion is nothing, but you and me, us, we did it all together. We hoped, suffered, celebrated and rejoiced. We lifted cups and won titles together in our hearts. We have always been on the same wavelength. And no one can ever take that away from us.

Dear Milan fans, when I got to the club you didn’t know this. I was in a hotel room and couldn’t leave so as not to compromise the negotiations between Juventus and Milan. The first weeks, the first months, you studied me and we watched each other.

Then we fell in love. That evening against Torino. You were angry, things weren’t going well on the field and you were in silence. I started warming up and the roar you gave me made us win the match, pushing us into the Champions League and towards that final in Manchester. These memories as well as all those who consoled me in the difficult months of 2004 and 2005 and the shivers down the spine that we felt on 9 August 2006, my birthday against Stella Rossa will always be in the bedside drawer of my heart.

Athens. Football given to us for one reason: me and you, us, we wanted is so strongly, so intensely that it had to be given. Of course the reality went beyond our wildest dreams. 2 goals, against Liverpool, 2 years after Istanbul, the seventh Champions League. Destiny gave us more than we had dared hope.

Today I would like to thank with affection and emotion President Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani: their electricity and their ability to transmit emotion for me made me stronger and pushed me beyond any and all limits. But I also want to give a thought to those who, from the youth sector to all the wonderful clubs that I’ve played for, helped me to become the man and the player that I am today.

Thank you Milan, thank you football. Allow me to call you my own, the people of Via Turati, from Milanello to the offices to the phone operators to the warehouse workers, the physiotherapists, the doctors, the cooks, from the stadium to the changing room. All the people who saw me on Sunday with the short sleeves and shook with the hope that I would score. Ciao Carlo Ancelotti, I won a lot with you. Ciao to my wonderful fans who followed me the world over with affection and passion. Ciao to my team mates from today and yesterday.

Last of all allow me to thank my family, my mother Marina, my father Giancarlo, Simone and Tommaso. I never would have got here without you. You’re my strength. My dear Milan, I’m leaving you only because that the way life goes. The moment has come and you know it as well.

Ciao and thanks to everyone,

Pippo Inzaghi.


所有你們即將讀到的東西都無法與此相提並論，那也是我唯一想讓你們知道的東西：我始終為了「我們」而踢球，為了「我們」而爭取勝利 。如果沒有你們分享，足球對我來說將毫無意義。所以我和你們，「我們」，我們一起經歷了這一切。我們期待過，我們受傷過，我們瘋狂過，我們幸福過。當我們舉起冠軍獎盃，我們的心就在一起。我們始終生活在同一片陽光下，這是誰也不能奪走的至寶。

你們知道嗎，我親愛的米蘭球迷們，當我第一次來到米蘭，你們的熱情讓我出乎意料。當時我留在酒店房間裡，我儘量避免與大家見面，只因為尤文圖斯和米蘭俱樂部之間的合同問題還沒有最終確定。在最初的那幾週、那幾個月，我們相互學習，相互瞭解。

然後我們相愛了，就在同都靈的那場比賽。你們當時因為球場上的落後而失望和生氣，我接到教練的指示開始熱身，從那一刻我就聽到了你們對我的歡迎，這種熱情激勵了我，我為球隊贏得了比賽。接著我們一起晉級歐冠，我們戰勝了曼聯。這些美好的記憶、還有我在2005年和2008年收到你們的鼓勵和安慰、2006年8月9日，我們戰勝了紅星隊然後一起慶祝我的生日...這些永遠珍藏在我的心中，每當我想起這些瞬間，我總是心懷感激和愛。

還有雅典，足球恩賜我們只因為：我和你們，「我們」，我們如此渴望，我們如此期待，因此他不能拒絕我們。當然，現實超越我們對夢想最大的期待。我進了兩個球，在伊斯坦布爾兩年之後我們再次戰勝了利物浦，贏得了歐洲冠軍杯。命運給了我們未曾期待的禮物。

今天，我要充滿深情地感謝貝盧斯科尼主席和加利亞尼經理，他們的支持和鼓勵總是讓我更強大，他們對我的支持沒有極限。我還想感謝所有和我一起踢球過的人，從青訓營到米蘭，在我的職業生涯中，我獲得了無數的幫助，才成為了今天的這樣一個男人。

謝謝米蘭，謝謝足球，請容許我稱呼：我的米蘭。圖拉蒂大街、米蘭內洛的所有工作人員，我們的教練、隊醫們、廚師、管理員們...還有聖西羅球場、我們的更衣室，所有的人都在期待著我週末的表演。還有親愛的安切洛蒂，我們一起贏得了一切。感謝我親愛的球迷們，你們從世界各地來看望我，你們總是如此熱情、不求回報。再見我親愛的隊友們。

最後，請允許我再次說：謝謝你們，謝謝你們。我還要感謝我的媽媽瑪利亞、我的爸爸詹卡羅、我的弟弟西蒙尼和侄子托馬索，沒有你們就沒有我的今天，你們是我力量的源泉。

我親愛的米蘭，我要離開你了，因為這就是生活，因為告別的時刻總會來臨。我知道你同我一樣難過。

再次感謝你們，再見。

Pippo Inzaghi
