But it was his choice-- it's his finger, and in my opinion the ultimate decision of what to do with it is rightly his and his alone, not the club's. So long as the decision was Pozzi's and the club didn't force him into it, I respect the club for giving him this kind of freedom.
And as for Pozzi himself... incredible!!! Now THAT is passion and dedication! Maybe he'll regret it, maybe he won't-- it's true that he'll always have a dead finger to remember this decision by, but had he decided to operate, who knows if he would regret that even more? He'd have that movable finger to remind him of the road not taken.
It's a reckless choice, but I can't help but have an incredible amount of respect for a guy with that level of commitment. Simply amazing; I had never paid much attention to Pozzi before, but now I plan to watch him next time they show Empoli here.
