Raphael Varane he retired from playing football after a summer in which he signed with the How and he seemed ready to embark on an adventure in Serie A: “Maybe we won’t be able to change the world – he says in an interview with The Team -, but we have to do differently starting now. I also talked about it when he was playing, and it wasn’t to highlight my problems, but those of football in general. It’s overrevving and the car could explode. And I also talk about the mental health of the players.”
Varane goes into detail: “There are fewer and fewer brilliant players, we see less creativity and more and more physicality. Football should be a game of mistakes and instead today there are few of them, it’s all very robotic. Which leaves more freedom to its players to move and create is Carlo Ancelotti, not like the new generations. At the beginning of my last season at Manchester United I told myself that I would have liked to end my career there, to prolong my adventure a little. This didn’t happen and the summer was very eventful. I was looking for something special and I found Como. With United I ended up with a victory in the Cup, but I already knew that the club’s project wasn’t for me. it wasn’t exotic, it wasn’t an economic discussion, but on a human level everything made sense.”
Finally he explained the reasons why he left the sport: “I hoped to be able to play again, but when I got injured on July 11th, I realized it was over. I knew it, it wasn’t a serious thing but the fact that it was a left knee problem for me was a sign. My left knee has compensated for the right one since 2013, it was thanks to it that I found balance in the imbalance. So, if the left knee tells me it’s fed up, I have to listen to it This injury made me go back into a spiral and the balance between sacrifice and pleasure was lost. My future will be at Como. I still have a lot to bring to football in search of creativity and freedom and balanced.”
