Menez’s farewell letter: “I played to live the 2-3 seconds after the goal or assist”

The playmaker Jeremy Menez announced his farewell from playing football through his social channels. At 37 years old, the French footballer has decided to close a chapter of his life: “After 21 seasons at the highest levels, I announce the end of the first chapter of this magnificent book. I have experienced a lot through this sport that we love and are passionate about. I have always played to rediscover the incredible sensation of those 2/3 seconds after the goal, of the assists that make you touch the stars and experience these emotions.

Then in yet another passage: “I thank all the clubs, the presidents, the coaches, the teammates, the staff, the fans, the supporters, the opponents, the referees, the friends, even the journalists as well as the good and bad matches that took place in this truly special environment but that we absolutely love. Football has given me so much and it’s time to return the favor by opening this second chapter that is about to open and which promises to be very exciting, always close to the green rectangle. I conclude by thanking my children, my parents,. my family without whom this dream could not have been realized.” Menez will now open a new chapter in his career playing in the Kings League.
