Vieri: I felt really badFormer Juventus and Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri has revealed that he came very close to retiring from football after it was confirmed that he would miss out on representing Italy in the World Cup.
Vieri said: “I never saw an entire match of the Nazionale, not even the Final. I only managed to watch short parts of it,”
“I felt like a caged lion, I just couldn’t sit still in front of the TV, I felt really bad,” added the striker who was rumoured to be appearing in the Italian version of ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here!’
“I spent entire nights dreaming of the World Cup and that is when I really thought that I would retire from football. In those moments I thought a television career could be an alternative, although I never considered the option of starring in a reality show. Then I convinced myself that football is my life, it’s what I know how to do.”
