I was there when the whistle blew and no one said a word. As a former pro gamer turned content creator, I saw how a simple mistake—thinking a second yellow card meant nothing—cost Kovač his credibility. That moment in Dortmund’s locker room wasn’t about tactics. It was about silence. About the players who still believe in something deeper than stats. I told him then: ‘You don’t play the game—you live it.’ This isn’t just football. It’s identity.
