Dear football,
Today, I want to share with you that this season will be my last as a professional footballer. After so many years living my dream, I feel it’s time to start a new chapter in my life.
Being honest, even though I have been preparing myself for this moment, I found it hard to write this letter. After 20 seasons , many people have played an important role in my career.
When I first kicked a ball as a child in Pamplona with my schoolmates, I never imagined the amazing journey ahead. I’m grateful for every moment: the wins, the tough losses, the challenges, and most of all, the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve made along the way.
To my teammates, coaches, and every staff member at all the clubs I’ve been lucky to be part of, thank you for helping me grow as a person and a player every day. Wearing the shirts of CA Osasuna, Olympique Marseille, Chelsea FC, Atlético de Madrid, Sevilla FC, and representing my country at the biggest stages has been a true privilege. Every moment has meant so much to me…
Diego Forlan: "In Spain they always criticised me for not kissing the Atlético Madrid badge, but I always followed my parents' example:
I wasn't a fan of the club, I didn't grow up there. My parents taught me to respect symbols, and my way of respecting it was by not being fake or populist and by being professional.
I only kiss the badges of Peñarol and Uruguay because I grew up there and I'm a fan." 👏👏
Me da asco, pero muchísimo asco, que alguien trabaje un mes para cobrar 1400€ y vaya a por unas gafas para su hij@ y le cobren 400, no se puede trabajar una semana y media para algo que es totalmente necesario.
Y ya de dentistas no hablamos.
Daniel Siebert, el árbitro que pitó el Arsenal vs. Atlético de Madrid en Londres, "premiado" por la UEFA con ser el encargado de dirigir la final de la Champions League. Lo hizo tan, pero tan bien, que le permiten pitar la final. Asusta al miedo. De verdad, da auténtico asco.
Sobre Koke, lo único que puedo decir es que en agosto se pensaba que el doble pivote sería Barrios-Cardoso y la realidad es que el capitán ha vuelto a ser el más fiable en el momento decisivo para el Atlético. Es, literalmente, insustituible. Y con un rendimiento más que notable.
@BenditalocuraAt@SergioAsenjo1 Lo cedimos al Málaga para recuperar sensaciones, y se volvió a lesionar.
Luego en el Villarreal le volvió a pasar.
Gran portero, con muy poca suerte con las lesiones
