Dear soccer fans all over,
I have some words for you, words of an aging star who
understands your frustration or probably your anger about my latest
performances. I want to remind you that I still love the club and the fans that
have given me everything. But also I want to remind you that soccer players are
also human beings and we age as well.
Soccer fans I really appreciate all of your support over the
years; together we have lived great moments. Do you remember that goal that
made you stand up and jump around? I remember that one too. Those great moments
of glory will not easily vanish! I cherish them as if they happened yesterday.
But reality strikes; and those moments are long gone, as I age they’re just
part of a collection of great memories.
Dear soccer fans I do not ask you to forgive me for my
recent mistakes on the pitch as I have clearly acknowledged them myself. Nor I am looking for excuses of the
poor results our team has delivered lately. I just want to remind you that
things change for all of us too. Things change for us just the same way things
change in your family.
My intention on the pitch is always to bring out the best of
me but things don’t always work that way. The years take their toll in all of
us! And stardom is no guarantee of bringing success as expected. Age does not
discriminate and therefore it will take away my precision and finesse.
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do against it, but I want to remind you
that I keep you in my heart the same way when we enjoyed the juices of victory.
Dear fans I hope you can understand me! Together we have
been great, together we have risen, and together we have failed. Someday a new
star will take my place it is just part of life, it is part of the beautifulgame.
