Hearing the text message notification sound from under the pillow.
Capello turned his head for a glance, noticed that his wife Laura was still fast asleep, then rubbed his eyes and fumbled for his cellphone.
Usually, Capello was very careful not to let work disturb his private life.
But today, he had a reason to not turn off his phone.
Seeing that the message was from Huang Kaiwen, Capello reached for his glasses on the nightstand, put them on, slowly moved out from under the covers, and got out of bed with light steps.
Navigating with the faint light of the cellphone, he tiptoed out of the bedroom.
If he were at his home in Italy, he could walk out with his eyes closed.
Fabio Capello had just left the bedroom, when "sleeping" Laura Capello slowly opened her eyes and gazed at the ceiling.
It must be that young man who made Fabio go from disdain to taking seriously, and ultimately trying everything but failing to beat.
