I wrote this because I can’t speak about it. I wrote this because I want you to know that I will make sure that you live on.
Yan Diomande RB Leipzig | Ivory Coast Jun 17, 2026 Pour lire en français, cliquez ici . Dear Roxane, Remember when somebody bought me a fake United jersey, and I wrote Ronaldo 7 on the back with the black marker? We didn’t know rich or poor. We just knew happiness. Remember 25 people sleeping in one house back in Abidjan? Mum wanted to watch her soap operas. Everyone else wanted to watch movies. Remember how I always used to fake like I was asleep and then go into the TV room after midnight? I’d put the TV on real low. Just like 2 volume bars. I’d watch football in the dark and dream. Remember
