Dear Juventus,
My name is Barbara and I’m 6 years old.
I decided to play football because it’s what makes me happiest.
My mum and dad are so happy I followed my brother Giorgio's passion.
I don’t know any other girls who play football and I feel a bit out of place, different.
But everyone tells me I’m good and that I shouldn’t stop if I like it.
So, I play all day at home, in the garden, at the park with my friends and on the pitch with the coach who helps me.
I don’t know what will happen when I grow up, but I dream about you.
I’m daydreaming when I watch your matches and see the champions playing in your beautiful jersey.
I dream and hope that one day I, too, will feel the thrill of pulling on that jersey and wearing your badge on my chest with love and respect.
Dear Juventus,
I’m BB. I’m 33 years old and I never could have thought –
not even in my wildest, most beautiful dreams –
that I would wear your badge over my heart 200 times.
