Mihajlovic, the pain of the daughters. Virginia: «My super hero». Viktorija remembers him with Montale's verses

“My heart is broken today, shattered. My soul worse, and I can't keep talking about my super hero, for me dad, for you Sinisa Mihajlovic. It hurts too much, too much ."

Thus begins the heartbreaking post on Instagram by Virginia Mihajlovic, daughter of the coach and former footballerwho died yesterday at the age of 53 due to leukemia.

"It's tough dad, it's tough. In this moment of immense suffering I just need your hug . Not just any hug, yours. Mixed with your perfume, which, like your soul, remained on. And anyone who knows you knows what I'm referring to," writes the second of the five children Mihajlovic had from Arianna Rapaccioni.

«Impossible to accept all this but I find - continues the post - the strength in the immense love that you have given me in these years of life together , so strong that it will accompany me for the rest of my days. After having discovered your destiny, I thank you for having had you with me for these years, in which you have given me everything, everything a father could have given to a daughter, indeed much more. You loved me immensely, with all the strength you had. You protected me from everything, everyone and everything. You have been too much. Too much for me. Too much for us. Too much for everyone ».

Her older sister Viktorija, on the other hand, relies on the lines of a poem by Eugenio Montale : «I've gone down, giving you my arm, at least a million stairs and now that you're not there, every step is filled with emptiness. Even so, our long journey was short. Mine still lasts, and I no longer need the coincidences, the reservations, the traps, the scorns of those who believe that reality is what you see. I went down millions of stairs giving you my arm, not because with four eyes maybe you can see more. I went down with you because I knew that the only true pupils of us two, although clouded, were yours».

And then he concludes: « I love you with all my heart dad, pure, rare soul, pride of my life, my hero, my great love. Wherever you are I know how to love up to there ».

"When you are no longer part of me, I will cut out many small stars from your memory, then the sky will be so beautiful that the whole world will fall in love with the night", wrote his wife Arianna instead, posting a photo that portrays them smiling.

Sinisa and Arianna Rapaccioni had been linked for 27 years, they had five children: in addition to Viktorija and Virginia, Miroslav, Dusan and Nicholas. Mihajlovic in 1993 had had another son from a previous relationship, Marko.

Tomorrow the funeral home will be set up in the Campidoglio, the funeral in Rome on Monday.
