The 32-year-old Barcelona captain Shaziro recently announced his retirement, ending his 18-year career in the blue and blue. On Monday (13), a press conference full of emotion witnessed this moment, and from time to time some people at the scene could not help but wipe their tears, a scene reminiscent of three years ago when the captain of the United States left the team.
Shajiro joined the Barcelona B team in 2006 and after four years of honing his skills, he was finally promoted to the first team in 2010. In his career, he made 373 appearances, scored 19 goals and gloriously won seven La Liga titles, two Europa Leagues, two World Cups, two UEFA Super Cups, six Copa del Rey and six La Liga Super Cups.
During the press conference, Shajiro could not hold back his tears several times, he said emotionally: I was in the same locker room with my idols, world-class players and coaches, and it was my greatest honor to go from being a debutant to captaining the team and winning all the honors. Although I chose to leave, I am still proud of my heart because I always put the interests of the club above my own.
After Shajiro announced his departure, Mez sent a text message to console him: I wish you all the best for your new journey, all the best, Shajiro Batu! Meanwhile, Barcelona celebrity and former coach Xavi also appeared at the conference, which was Shajiro's first public appearance since his departure.
While the final leg of Shaji Roberto's career is yet to be decided, he has a number of options to choose from, such as joining forces with International Mayami or moving to Saudi Arabia to explore new horizons. Anything is possible.
