"You must not give up, you must have courage! These are predictable words, but they're true," wrote Francesco Acerbi in a post from his own social media account.
This message of affection for Sinisa Mihajlovic is one of many that has arrived to the Bologna manager after it was announced that he was suffering from cancer. "Mister, I allow myself to tell you to take on this truly ugly phase, not caring about what you have! Live as if you have nothing and always think positive, COUEAGE," added Acerbi.
These are sincere words from the Lazio defender who he himself defeated cancer years ago, returning to play and also wear the Nazionale shirt. It's a true battle that now Sinisa will need to win, with the strength and tenacity that defines him.
