Mihajlovic, two thousand people for the last farewell to the warrior. Also present Liverani, Mancini carries the coffin

Also present were the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, the minister for sport and youth, Andrea Abodi, the president of Coni, Giovanni Malagò, the players of Lazio, with the management and the president Claudio Lotito, the coach of the biancocelesti Maurizio Sarri, the former president of Sampdoria Massimo Ferrero and again Francesco Totti, Bruno Conti, Daniele De Rossi, Urbano Cairo and Gianni Morandi.

In the face of illness, the archbishop said, Sinisa "never ran away . He faced it courageously, giving it to others as well. He did so by showing the sweet fragility of a warrior, which is such because he knows how to get up or tries. Fragility is a door, not a wall." A thought also for Mihajlovic's family: «We gather around them and those who are related to him. Sinisa wanted to grow old with so many grandchildren, he was someone capable of giving a chance to those who had never had one and I would like you to feel the affection of Mother Church today. Precisely because she is a mother she will never give in to her children's pain. It is a painful greeting that leaves us incredulous».
