Read Moses’ retirement announcement
“This is a moment of gratitude. I say that our career is not based on success. We have a career of victories and defeats, of sacrifices, struggles and achievements.
So, I am very grateful to football. I am very grateful to America. This club will be in my heart forever. It doesn’t end in the most perfect way possible, because my dream was to come, return with the club to Serie A, and end my career there.
But like I said, an athlete’s life is not based on success, it exists on defeats. We have to understand this. I am grateful to God that it was the way it was. I have no right to be sad about this.
I know that all things work together for good for whoever believes in God. I know that everything that happened in my career was his permission. Both the victories and the defeats.
I thank all those who supported me, athletes, employees, directors, presidents, technical committees. I just have to thank each and every one. I become a better person, a better athlete. I believe that in my best dreams, I didn’t imagine getting where I am. I’m happy with the successful career I’ve achieved.
I want to leave a message for those who continue: it is not easy. Today, even more difficult. Be resilient. Give up immediate pleasures. If you want to achieve something, in any area, you need to make sacrifices, you need to dedicate yourself, work and do more than others.
I got where I am because I always did more. I always trained more, I always rested more. I gave up several things, leaving. Really give yourself 100%, because it goes by quickly. As I said, the other day I was playing for junior.
Once again, thank you. Father, mother, you especially… It was worth the sacrifice you made so that I could train, do what I loved most, which was playing football. I have a brilliant career. I will only keep good things.
The difficulties passed, but I can say that I ended my career in style. Thank you to all the clubs I’ve been to. Now, it’s time to see football from another angle, a little calmer. These years I lived were intense. Now I can relax and enjoy it a little.”
