A young Real Madrid player has announced that he is ending his football career.
This is very sad news. Aged only 19, Marc Cucalon, Real Madrid's great hope, was forced to prematurely end his promising football career. He announced it Tuesday evening on his social networks.
The reason for this sudden stop? A little over two years ago, Marc Cucalon suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a match between Real Madrid and Celtic Glasgow in the Youth League. And unfortunately for the man nicknamed the “Xabi Alonso of La Fabrica”, he was infected by bacteria at the time of the operation, causing damage to the cartilage of the joint.
“I was very, very happy”
“I didn’t know where to start this letter. So I will do it by thanking everyone. From the bottom of my heart. For all the support you have given me throughout this time. I arrived at the Real Madrid training center in the summer of 2016 as a child with a backpack full of dreams and I was very, very happy », Wrote the now ex-midfielder on Instagram.
His former coach with Real U19s, Alvaro Arbeloa, paid tribute to him. “ You don't know how many times this match comes to mind. It's hard for me not to think about the huge player you were going to be (and already were), but you always have to look to the future, wrote the ex-Spanish defender. You know that better than anyone. You deserve the best, Marc, we will always be there for whatever you need. »
