"Milan Sports Newspaper": "Kevin has earned a considerable amount of honors; he is truly a medal collector. This ceremony at St. Peter's Square is a milestone for Kevin. As a football player, his skills, his character, and his influence have reached a point where the Vatican has to acknowledge him. So, it's not surprising that the new stadium is named St. Kevin Stadium; this was already within our expectations."
"Turin Sport Report" Buffon column: "The Pope has made it very clear that Kevin should use his influence to guide more people to become better versions of themselves. He shouldn't limit his vision to Europe. Just as temporary ceasefires once occurred due to Pele playing a match, I believe Kevin can achieve the same. There are still many people's homelands embroiled in war in this world. Even a temporary ceasefire for a few days saves many lives, and this is what elevates football beyond life and death."
