bonded.

waking up to the news that Theo will be out for at least six months.

i was crying, the boys are sad and we miss him already. Theo is not just some boy running and scoring for us on the pitch. he is our friend, he is one of us.

ever since Poldi and Oli came, so many things have changed. the squad were getting closer to each other and after continuous bonding sessions, they are tight. they are not only partners on the field, they are best friends out of it, they are family, they are bonded, all of them.

they smile and laugh at photos & videos, and that’s not because they want people to think they are happy, it’s because they simply are. with each other, through thick and thin.

they celebrate each other’ birthdays, they miss each other when they are apart.

i have realized that for a while now, but the latest news of Theo bring clearer image.

it’s not about winning the title and everything anymore, it’s about making each other happy, and winning is one of the way to do it. it’s about the will to fight together not because their job description tells them to, but because they want to, because they’d love to.

we’ve been waiting and gone through a lot of pain for this moment to come, and now it is here.

our main target now is to win the league, and the champs league if not too much. but even if we don’t win any this year, we’ll still have each other. and i think that’s good enough.

i know this moment will not lasts forever, and that’s exactly why i want to cherish it while i still can.
