The Uruguayan star is happy to be able to retire in good health.
His age is 37 years. No injuries. It wasn't that long ago. You can continue playing for a few more days if you want. Even one club is interested in him. Despite all the favorable conditions for the game to continue, Diego Gadine has a different idea.
The star defender of Atletico Madrid and Uruguay wanted to hang up his boots while he was healthy, and that's what he did this time. Gadin said goodbye to a two-decade professional career today.
Gadine spent 9 seasons at Atletico and last played for Argentine club Veles Sarsfield. Gadine retired after playing in Velez's 1-0 loss against Huracán today. Gadine, who captained Atlético in club football and Uruguay in international football, played a total of 882 matches in his professional career.
Won a Copa America, two Europa Leagues, three UEFA Super Cups, one La Liga, and a total of 15 trophies. Gadine has 52 goals as a defender, including Atletico's equalizer against Barcelona on the final day of the 2013–14 La Liga season. Gadine's team won the league by three points ahead of Sebar Barca.
Not just that one match, Atlético Gadine is remembered for many more memorable moments. Gadine was at the center of what Diego Simeone's side emerged as a force in European football after 2010.
Gadin became emotional after the match after retiring from football today. In an interview given to an Argentine TV, however, he also said that he was satisfied, "This is how I wanted to make the decision to retire." I wanted to leave healthy.
Gadin said that he will leave football and give time to his family in the coming days, "My priority now is to give time to my family in Uruguay." I recently became a father. I want to relax, enjoy other aspects outside of football. I tried to leave the field with a good image.
Earlier, Reuters reported that the Uruguayan club Nacional is thinking of taking Godin to the team.
Gdin left the Spanish club in 2019 after spending 9 seasons at Atletico. He then spent one year at Inter Milan, two years at Cagliari and six months at Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro. And was a member of the 2011 Copa America champion and 2010 World Cup semi-finalists on his way to 4 World Cup appearances for Uruguay.
