Deulofeu: My career has been exciting enough, but I am only 31 years old and still want to try

Hupu News on October 17th Many people will remember Deulofeu as one of the most talented players produced by La Masia. He had opportunities in the Barcelona first team and left his career mark in teams such as Sevilla, AC Milan and Udinese. By January next year, he will have been sidelined for three years due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.

Injury status

"I know I'm trying something special, and this may be the toughest recovery ever. If I can make it back, it will be more than a thousand days. But I believe I can do it. If anyone can do it, it's me. This is not an ordinary injury, the knee may be completely useless, and now the infection is getting worse ".

The support of Udinese

"They were waiting for me, they gave me time to recover and I am very grateful to them for helping me and allowing me to stay here, which allowed me to train every morning with Udinese's fitness coaches."

Looking back

"Now that I had to take a break, I can now see how wonderful my career has been. I am very proud that I come from Barcelona. Ronaldo, people noticed me and maybe a lot of people would say I could have been more successful, but it’s important to note that I’ve played for Barcelona, I’ve played for AC Milan, I’ve won the Europa League with Sevilla, I’ve played in the Champions League, I’ve played and scored for my country and I’ve reached the FA Cup final with Watford. Well, of course it could be better, but that's just maybe, maybe. What more could I ask for in my career than all of this? ".

Why continue

"Sometimes I also think that way, and there will be thoughts like: Oh, end it, just end it, because you have already had a good career and you have a family. But if I tell my wife that this is too difficult and I don’t think I can go back, she will say: Let’s give it a try, you will succeed.”

The good side

"My son and I came to this stadium a few weeks ago. He was very young when I last played football and we watched the game and he asked me: When are you coming back? I'm working on it, I'm working on it. I'm watching my kids grow up and that's the most important thing. You don't see that when you have to travel and play every three days. . This is the good side of the injury period. "

Looking ahead

"I am preparing to resume training in a few months and see how it feels. If not, maybe I have to make a decision. But I am only 31 years old and I just want to try it. I have time and the club has given me time, so I don't want to set a deadline."
