Summary
“I know you. I fucking trust you. And I know you’re not supposed to show any weakness. You can only show it when it’s with somebody you trust.”
1995, Donostia. There isn’t much to note about Unai Emery, the Real Sociedad player whose time at the club is now reaching the beginning of its end. As the new season starts, Unai meets somebody who sees something special in him — a thirteen year old footballer, a hardy, promising talent at Antiguoko, who’s searching for the kindness Unai had shown him when they’d first met seven years ago, who’s lonelier than he’d have anyone else believe.

It makes the cushion more comfortable, the evening darkness softer, and he hears his favourite music, and the distant rolling waves, and a dream enters him like a demon.Nobody is happy with how the 1999-2000 season at FC Barcelona concludes. Whether he likes it or not, 18 year-old Mikel Arteta will have to face the decision about his future there.
