The Parma midfielder tells his story: “Buffon had written me a message but I didn’t have his number. After two months I still hadn’t responded to him. What a figure”
Adrian Bernabé, Parma’s talented midfielder and protagonist of the splendid ride, spoke to Cronache di Spogliatoio: “When I arrived at Parma in 2021, I had a serious health problem. I was really afraid to quit. One of the worst days of my life was when I had to tell my family who were still in Spain. At that time they were all happy for the new contract, for the possibility of playing and they certainly didn’t expect such news. I was scared for 2-3 days, then the doctors told me that there was the possibility of resolving everything by operating. I said “Okay, I want to do this as soon as possible“.
GIGI BUFFON – “Many wrote to me in that period including friends, footballers and family and I didn’t have time to read them all. But then there was this Italian number that I didn’t know whose it was. I was scrolling through the chats and I don’t know why I stopped to read. “Hi Adrian, I’m Gigi Buffon. I’m waiting for you and can’t wait for you to come back with us”. Almost two years had passed and I hadn’t even responded. My goodness, what a figure“.
HAIR – “If we go to Serie A, I’ll cut my hair“. Then there were those who said: “I instead dye them white”. Someone had already done it, then he came to me: “Come on Adrian, braid your hair or cut your hair”. But they don’t care, my hair can’t be touched”.
