Because Bryan, the Juventus youth champion, born in 2004, of Ivorian origins, was struck by a tumor in 2015. And for six years he fought, even managing to defeat him. But only once. Returning to limestone, in 2018, the fields of Vinovo, where at the time the young Juventus promises trained, among the ranks of the Under 15 team.
And where he met and became friends with Pogba. A champion inside and outside the green rectangle, endowed with great sensitivity: and he is not for everyone in a world, that of football, made up of appearances.
Yesterday, Saturday 4 September 2021, Bryan died at the Regina Margherita hospital in Turin.
Just Pogba, now ace of Manchester United, wanted to remember him with a long post on Instagram, proposing that photo of the post-goal exultation in the derby. And that “Bryan I’m with you” shirt.
“The saddest news of all. All my thoughts and prayers are for whoever was closest to you. Losing a person home is never easy, I will never forget you. You fought a lot, you were strong, an example for everyone. Hello my little friend. Rip Bryan, we’ll miss you, ”he writes on his Instagram profile.
