Childhood Dreams
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Who can imagine to find a soccer field on the top on the massive Dubrovnik city walls?
They say the street forges football champions more than gyms and proper soccer field.
There on the ramparts I remembered 1996; in Juventus FC there was a Croatian player called Jugovic, a tough midfielder with a really gentle behaviour outside the stadium.
It was the year of the only Champions League victory I saw in my life, and Jugovic had the duty of shooting the last penatly kick. The camera stood on his face before the shoot, trying to figure out his emotions in that moment that can choke your throat and tie up your stomach into knots, and well, Jugovic was smiling.
I wondered where that gentle midfielder was nowadays. I hoped he was teaching football to young boys that some years before were playing in that field in the medieval streets of Dubrovnik, and I imagined those young boys asking him how he was able to smile before that penalty kick.
