Tonight was bittersweet. For so long, soccer (or calcio in italiano) was a such a major part of my life but I haven't played since my injuries in 2010 (ruptured ACL followed by a ruptured 2nd Achilles tendon; 2 tough surgeries and a long recovery). It may sound foolish but since then, it has been pretty difficult for me to even watch a game....I guess keeping my distance has been sort of my defense mechanism because I miss playing. Needless to say, I was hesitant to buy a ticket for tonight's game. I wondered how I would feel being so close to the action again. All feelings and hesitations immediately disappeared when I walked into San Siro Stadium.
It was such an amazing feeling to be surrounded by fans who
share such a passion for the sport that I have loved for so long. This was my first AC Milan game but it won’t be my last. I feel so blessed
to have had the opportunity to go. J
