No doubts about your talents, your class, your good intentions, and the glorious past moments that you lit up for us. We remember everything. You were indeed the Master. One of the bests in the history.
But a humble request today: a lamp should light another lamp, which will live longer and brighten up the space that it (the lamp) loved so much. The space which sheltered you (the lamp) in turn.
Yes, now is the time!! Before the lamp, the lamp that you are, fades away, light one more. A small one perhaps. Let that new lamp do the job that you always wanted to do but you were perhaps not destined to do, and left unfinished. (You know I am talking about the task of bringing the WORLD CUP back home).
For all that you were and for all the love and support we showered on you, it is a humble request. Please do not leave us in darkness. Make space for a new lamp, a better one and let us march forward.
We assure you we will love you as much, or perhaps more.
