# The Secret Diary of Alberto Aquilani

Mercoledì 2 Dicembre (Wednesday 2nd December)

I began to think today abouta time when I play football all the time, it was a longa longa time ago. I was a thinking how great ita would be to kick the ball two time a week. My pasta went cold as I thought; I got annoyed but cannot get angry because my Senor Benitez does not allow me to be angry he say it is bad for my knees. I think this silly but he is my ‘gaffer’, I think this is how you say, but I don’t know.

I very much enjoyed the match, against Liverpool Blues, I had a perfect view of Dirk, we call him Dirty Dirk he is funny. He told me a joke once, but I cannot remember it. I wanted to play on the game but Senor Rafa did not let me, he say my knee is bad and I must sit, so I sit for whole game. I had peanuts though so I no go hungry.

A Roman gladiator like me must think about the reason of life, I tried to talk with my captain, Stevie Gerrard but I do not understand him, I thought maybe Jamie Carragher coulda help me, but he is from another country too and he no speak English as well. Maybe I ask my ‘gaffer’ even though he say I cannot talk to him after 5 o’clock. It is crazy.

Maybe I will play on the weekend, I do not think so, my knee is sore and I have to rest to make sure I do not hurt it again. I will hit the ball to my team mates in the training, for passing. I hope Italia do well in World Cups draw in Friday and maybe Marcelo will get me in the squad to play and win the World Cups as well.

I will go now and watch the Katy Perry, she is my favourite.
