Isaac Kearney was already known to Liverpool fans. Months earlier, he had visited Anfield with the excitement of any child, and his story stayed in the memories of many.
What he did not expect was that fate had a second surprise in store for him. Trabzonspor decided to invite Isaac and his entire family to Turkey, with all expenses paid.
The objective? To reunite him with Mohamed Salah. When the Egyptian saw him arrive at training, there was no protocol or star distance; he ran toward him like someone seeing a friend.
Sometimes football comes down to that: a club that understands that the gesture is worth more than any result, and an idol who never forgot a child who only wanted to see him again.
