Cagliari, Yankto: “Coming out? It’s nice that everyone supports me, I’m very happy here.”

Jakub Jankto, gave a long interview to BBC Sport, in which he spoke about his departure and return to Serie A in Cagliari. These are his words, collected TuttoCagliari.net: “Every time I opened TikTok or Instagram, the first video was about me. I knew that it would be like this for the first two, three weeks, but I needed time for myself to take a little break, to recover. When you reach thousands, maybe “, millions of messages from people saying they appreciate me and thanking me, you’re happy, but you also feel a little pressure. It’s not easy to be the first on my level to say, ‘Yes, I’m gay.'” I was 13 or 14 years old when I realized that something was… not unnatural, but different. When you’re a kid, you don’t really think about it. But when I was in my first relationship with a girl, this was not the case. like with a boy, you know? And then when I got into professional football teams, being gay was still considered ‘abnormal’, football is still a bit homophobic I think. So I was scared when I was 18 or 19 and I was around other kids and I couldn’t open WhatsApp messages because I was always afraid that someone might see the boy’s message or photo.”
