BITTER FAREWELL FROM BESIKTAS LEGEND QUARESMA: I LOST MY INTEREST

The talented star Ricardo Quaresma, who blew storms in the Turkish Super League for a period and enthroned in the hearts of Besiktas fans, announced with quite reproachful words that he broke away from the green pitches completely. The Portuguese legend, who amazed millions of football fans with his unique dribbling, generic goals and extraordinary style on the pitch throughout his career, did not hide that he felt great discomfort from the point modern football has reached. The successful player, who is the darling of Besiktas fans, expressed with all his sincerity how his passion for sports slowly faded away. The talented name, arguing that the foregrounding of off-pitch events rather than the game on the pitch now kills the soul of football, used the following extremely striking expressions while explaining his radical decision: "I have quit football and I am no longer as interested in football as before. Frankly, football has changed a lot. I hardly have the patience to even watch matches anymore. Football has lost its old joy, excitement and beauty. Nowadays, discussions are talked about more than football itself. Therefore, I have largely lost my interest in football."

These statements of the experienced football man aroused a deep echo not only in the black and white community but also in the entire international sports public. The fact that modern football has completely turned into a tactical chess game continues to push away players like Quaresma. The fans met this resentful farewell of the legendary player with great sadness. The football world is experiencing the sadness of having completely detached such a special talent from sports.
