“I will miss you so much, marvel. You always had that smile every time you saw us. You have given us so much love, I have no words to say goodbye because it makes me sad and I cannot write the pain I feel . All I know is that I will miss you so much ”.

With a post on Instagram, Giovanni Simeone greeted his Marvel , a two-year-old Australian shepherd who the goalscorer had left at a friend's house since he moved to Verona , the team that redeemed him from Cagliari in recent days.

Marvel was poisoned Sunday night and died yesterday morning in a city veterinary clinic.

"She was killed with a snail poison while she was in the courtyard of the house", explains Simeone on the phone from the place where he is on vacation.

Perhaps it will never be known whether whoever poisoned her knew who the owner was. "Not, but I hope it wasn't an act against me," he says. " A complaint will be filed tomorrow."
