Ballack, Deco, Belletti and Cole

[Laylabelle 9,539]

Kinda sad for Joe being really the reason he left was to get more play time and seemed to be the same situation.Been better going Spurs and probably end up there this year!!

Kinda forgot we brought Deco :S kinda shone then faded and never got it back

Talking of Belletti, he's announced his retirement:

http://blogdobelletti.blogspot.com/

Comunico que estou encerrando hoje minha carreira como jogador de futebol profissional por problemas físicos.

Por mais que eu queira seguir, o corpo nao permite. O entusiasmo, a força de vontade e a superação nao conseguem ser mais fortes do que as dores.

Fui vencido pelo proprio corpo. Mais especificamente, pelos tendões de aquiles.

Peço desculpas ao Ceara SC e seus torcedores por não poder cumprir o contrato. E agradecer a diretoria do clube pela oportunidade. Um clube que vem crescendo, e muito, dentro do cenario esportivo nacional.

Não quero estar em campo somente competindo. Cresci ganhando, vencendo. São 22 titulos na carreira nos 16 anos de profissionalismo.

8 equipes: Cruzeiro EC, Atletico-MG, São Paulo FC, Villarreal CF, FC Barcelona, Chelsea FC, Fluminense FC e Ceara SC;

46 gols, 58 convocações para a seleção brasileira. E trabalhei com 29 treinadores pelos quais agradeço a cada um deles pelo aprendizado na vida e no esporte.

Primeiro jogo: 06 de novembro de 1994 _ Cruzeiro 1 x 1 Bragantino

Ultimo jogo: 03 de novembro de 2010 _ Fluimense 0 x 0 Internacional

Comentarista esportivo, auxiliar tecnico ou prestar consultoria para jogador de futebol profissional são opções pelas quais estive me preparando para exercer neste momento.

Futebol e’ minha paixão. Seguirei nele.

Um beijo especial aos meus filhos Dianlucca, Patrick e Joshua: "Vocês alimentam minha vontade de seguir em frente. Amo vocês!!"

I have today I am ending my career as a professional football player by physical problems.

As much as I want to follow, the body does not allow. The enthusiasm, willpower and resilience can not be stronger than the pain.

I was overcome by the body. More specifically, the Achilles tendons.

I apologize to the Ceara SC and their fans for not being able to fulfill the contract. And thank the board of directors for the opportunity. A club that is growing, and many within the national sports scene.

Do not want to be competing only in the field. I grew up winning, winning. There are 22 career titles in 16 years of professionalism.

8 teams: Cruzeiro EC, Atletico-MG, São Paulo FC, ​​Villarreal CF, FC Barcelona, ​​Chelsea FC and Fluminense FC Ceara SC;

46 goals, 58 calls for the Brazilian team. And I worked with 29 coaches for which I thank each of them for learning in life and sport.

First game: Nov. 6, 1994 _ 1 x 1 Cruzeiro Bragantino

Last game: Nov. 3, 2010 _ International Fluimense 0 x 0

Sports commentator, technical assistance or consulting for a professional football player are options for which I've been preparing to perform at this time.

Football and 'my passion. I will follow him.

A special kiss to my Dianlucca sons, Patrick and Joshua: "You feed my will to move on. I love you!"

Juuuuuuuulianoooo Belllleeettttiiiiiii!

What a cult hero, Remember that goal against 'Boro, and many others.

Enjoy your retirement Belleti, almost forgot, When he scored against Arsenal to win the Champions League Final :champions:

[skcollob 7]

Last season showed how much we missed a player like Ballack & how far Mickel still has to go.But being caught out for players to choose from last year because we had let them leave isn't a management high point for the board at CFC.

Biggest disapointment for me was Joe Cole,if Ballack tried so hard to stay with his offer of a pay cut, why didn't Joe make a similar effort about his demands?.I'm not going to slag off a player who at times was an utter joy to watch,(remeber his goal at Old Trafford ,2009-10 season),but the move to the dippers proved that the grass isn't always greener elseware.

[the Blues 11 19]

Joe Cole. He was always a favorite of mine and when he was healthy he was a contributor.

Ballack always seemed to work hard and do the little things that don't always get recognized. Robben is a fantastic player and I miss him.

Deco not so much.

[coolhead23 1,147]

It is so strange that i guess 90% of the fans here feel that Ballack was a very important member of the squad yet a couple of ppl in the board couldn't understand that.

[Domino- 116]

Ballack gave the team a lot.

[Kostas 1,468]

Last season showed how much we missed a player like Ballack & how far Mickel still has to go.c

Last season showed a lot of things, that certainly wasn't one of them.
