(5 years ago)Three years ago, at night between March 3rd and 4th, Davide Astor was separated from his life while he was in a hotel in Udine. But only physically, considering that the love of the soccer world toward him has remained unchanged. At the midweek round, he was [...]
In the matches of this midweek round, he remembered with a applause in the 13th minute (the number of his fans) of the first and second parts, a necessary gesture to pay tribute in his memory. Both Davide's brothers, Marco and Bruno, talked about the microphones of “Crriere dello Sport”. Their statements reveal a thread of homesickness for those times that, unfortunately, will never return.
His death is the irrigation pool between two lives: there's one before March 4th 2018 and there's one behind. It's like I died that day, not part of me. Now we know that we will not be able to aspire to the full happiness of our previous life. Our mother sums up everything in one word: another. By overcoming such pain, surprises, problems, daily tensions are foolish living as such. Death like a irrigation pool, that's all. I have a wife, a child, friends, jobs and a thought that keeps repeating in my brain - the absence of David.
Davide was a great footballer, not a world - class champion, but a broadcast of values, and this was perceived by humans - even by many who had never met him. He likely filled an emotional void. He was Maradona, or Pele of human values. David was very empathetic<x0.
The people of Florence will always remain in the heart of the family “Astor” for treatment that Davide has reserved over the years: “Firence is passionate, a particular city where everything lives. Davide was left when everyone else had escaped, and Fiorentina established her reconstruction. From that moment, Florence adopted him, perpetuated our brother”.
