Morata: “I wanted to quit football”

Although it seems that everything is ideal in their world, footballers also have problems. They are people of flesh and blood, too. The latest player to go public and speak about his issues is Alvaro Morata. The AC Milan striker was a guest on the Spanish radio show on the “COPE” radio station, and on that occasion he talked about the numerous problems he encountered.”When it’s really hard for you in a situation like mine, depression sets in, then you have panic attacks. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, what your life situation is, because when it starts, you feel like there’s another person inside you that you have to fight against fight every day and every night. For me, the pressure in Spain was unbearable and leaving my homeland was the best decision I made,” Morata said.#APorLaCuarta#LaPlaylistDeLaVictoria#ad@CervezaVictoria @SEFutbol pic.twitter.com/qVExd0JmMg— Álvaro Morata (@AlvaroMorata) June 18, 2024 The former Real and Juventus player had many problems as soon as he left the house with the children.”Every time I go out with them on the street, in the store, there is an episode with an unknown person who feels the need to approach me and tell me about what happened at the game I played. Often these people are correct, without malice, but in Spain, I can’t even take a few steps with my children without people jumping in and starting to explain to me how I should play,” says Morata before adding:”It annoys me and that’s why I react violently. My children often see this and sometimes they don’t want to spend time with me. People often know that they make fun of me and make fun of me for some things. That’s why I thought about leaving football three months before the start of the European Championship”.##NAJAVA_MECA_8398752####EDITORS_CHOICE##Before the semi-final match against France, Morata stirred up the Spanish public by declaring that he would leave the national team due to too much public pressure. This summer, he left Atletico Madrid and put on the AC Milan jersey.”It was terrible. I thought I wouldn’t be able to put on my football boots and go out on the field again. But thanks to many people: Diego Simeone, Koke, Atletico Madrid president and my psychiatrist – I made it and I’m here again. You watch us on television and on social networks, but that is often an incorrect impression of us and our lives”, believes the Rossoneri forward.
