Originally posted by iTim:Juan Sebastián Verón has called it a day, playing his final game for Estudiantes whilst Gabriel Milito plays his final game for Independiente. Two players I'm sure Pato will know all too well. Verón obviously played for some of the supported clubs here, Man Utd and Inter as well as other high profile clubs like Lazio and Chelsea. Milito on the other hand spent most of his career in Spain with spells at both Zaragoza and Barcelona. The shame with Milito is that he is only 31, his older brother Diego is still going strong in Serie A.
Obviously I have more of an interest in Verón, didn't have a great spell at United but no-one can deny that he was a talented player and at times, although few and far between, he showed exactly what he was capable of.
Tim :
Both still can play here in Argentina but lot of injuries stop their carreers now. Verón made a great effort by his club resigned and invested money for your club to improve and he did win titles and playing a World Cup final against Barcelona clubs (lost narrowly) , here is very respected and in Estudiantes is a full idol ....
And Milito has a really sad history .... he is 31 , a year ago was in Barcelona winning titles , then went back to his first club Independiente - where he is loved- .But his knee and others injuries bothered him much and he say stop . In Argentina ´s level he could play 5 years more ...
