Monday April 15thduring a program of Tele Radio Stereo by title “I’ll give you Tokyo“, the microphones collected the testimony of a boy. He says his name is Edward and says that he chose to carry out the assisted suicide in Swiss the next 22 maggio. Not a random date, but the day on which, a Dublinthe final will be played Europa Leaguethe European competition for which the Roma, Edoardo’s favorite team, is still in the running. “I didn’t want to talk about Udinese, but I wanted to say something more general – says the boy, when he is given the floor – I have a terminal illness, such that it doesn’t make me die but the quality of life is what it is.” Silence falls between the hosts, the conversation continues: “I went to a clinic in Swiss (for assisted suicide, ndr) and they sent me some dates. One was the 22 maggio, but in my head I said to myself, ‘I have something to do that day.’ I remembered that it’s there the final in Dublin“. “If there’s one thing I would like, even if it’s the last thing, it’s coppa” says the voice again which at that moment seems broken by emotion.
The phone call, which ended a few seconds later, went around the web and searches began to track down the young Roman, who has not been heard from since. The program “I’ll give it to you Tokyo” published a story on Instagram with this message: “We urged Edoardo to contact us, but we have not received any communication. Know that if you change your mind, theAs Roma awaits you and all of us with her.”
The conversation, in fact, could not fail to reach the club and the coach Daniele De Rossiwho in the press conference on the eve of Rome-Milan, quarter final return of the Europa League, he declared: “Apart from promising victory, which is something I cannot do, I would like to assure that we will give everything for that fan and for all the others. The issue has touched us and the company is trying to track him down, as long as he wants it. If he wants it, we are here. We respect his desire to remain anonymous, but if he wants we are ready to welcome him.”
