Hi Roni. my name is Arivan, i'm 17 and i live in Sydney, AU. i was just a little kid when i started building this passion for football, i was born in to a Kurdish family who loved football and were passionate supporters of Brazil, i could remember at those times all i heard around me was the name Ronaldo, like the whole purpose of this game was to pass the round ball to the player Ronaldo, and he would score goals like never seen before. it was World Cup 1998, i started to understand the game more and more, i watched most of your matches and it just gave me great sense of joy to see you stand out in the team and entertain the crowd crazy... and there it all started, i would watch football matches, whether it was World cup, Euro or Olympics, not so much club level competitions. although i did start following Milan games after 2002 World Cup, and became a fanatic of the Rossoneri club... i guess you can imagine how excited i was when you joined Milan last year! to see my favorite player play in my favorite club was more than i could ever ask for... and also you can imagine how hard these last couple of days have been since the match... with all the reports on your injury and how bad it is, how it might take another 8 months to recover and all the stories about you're career coming to an end, i can't imagine the pain you must be going through. but i refuse to believe them. Ronaldo has come through times like this and surely he can do it again. i know that you wanted to win Champions League so bad this year, but Milan will have the same chances that they have this year like they will have next year. you do not deserve to go out on this game like this, you have come so far. and i wouldn't be writing this message along with all these other fans if we didn't believe you couldn't play anymore. so please we ask of you from the bottom of our hearts to come through this hard time and light up the stadiums for a few more times. Thank You.
thanks for this thread Tennie, i hope this gets to Milan. and just an idea; i was hoping you could open a thread at soccerpulse.com so there could be more messages to Roni. (IMG:
