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…
@Letter_to_Jack A bit unrelated, but just watched an episode of Supernatural where Chuck(god) wondered if he’d made a mistake using carbon instead of silicon for the basis of life and now I’m seeing this, just find the odds funny😅
I don’t get why people have to train for a marathon. It’s like super simple.
There’s just like 2 rules to running a marathon.
1. Start running.
2. Don’t stop.
