[Football] The Milanello Bird-Keeping Handbook

"I make out with eight men at the same time, but we're all good friends."

Phoenix Adams

Many, many years later, Inzaghi appeared as a guest on a talk show. The host brought up his friend and teammate Phoenix Adams. "Pippo, what do you think of Phoenix?"

Inzaghi smiled warmly. "My friend Phoenix is a magnificent lunatic."

The host's eyes widened with excitement, and he immediately pressed on. "What do you mean?"

Inzaghi shrugged. "When we first met, Nix said I had eyes that looked like they were good at falling in love."

The whole audience burst into laughter. Inzaghi added, "Then I said to him, 'Baby, wanna go on a date with me?'"

The host laughed as he asked, "And then?"

Inzaghi rubbed his nose. "Then Paolo put his hand on my shoulder and said he wanted to have a nice long talk with me."

Reading guide

① The main pairing is with Maradona, but the romance is complicated, with one-sided crushes and ambiguous relationships. Don't read if that's not your thing.

② The author is a fake football fan, but will do their best to research. This story will be completed.

③ The kids and Adriana have been written out of this timeline (sorry).

④ This is a wish-fulfillment story (absolutely). It's been so long that my research is a bit off. Sorry.

⑤ The Bird Gang's thought process is very strange. He's a bit abstract, so please don't yell at the kid. If you have to yell at someone, yell at the Americans (the kid came from over there).
