You are a legend, Michu
"Dear Football,
According to medical reports, the current situation of my right ankle has come to a point where is has forced me to say goodbye to you as a profesional footbal player today. Even though I am saying farewell to you with much sorrow, I konw that we will always be united. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the magical moments that you have given to me during all this time. I feel priviliged to have fulfilled a dream that is shared by so
many of us since childhood. The dream of becoming a professional player in this sport. Because of you, the public have given me an invaluable affection that I will never be able to
repay. Indeed, I feel I have done nothing to deserve it all.
You led me to Vigo to play for Real Club Celta, to Madrid to play for Rayo Vallecano, to Wales to play for Swansea City, to Italy to play for SSC Naploi y and to La Felguera to play for Unión Popular de Langreo. You even allowed me to represent my country by wearing the national team football shirt, sharing the dressing room with colleagues who were world champions. It is thanks to you that I have visited many wonderful countries and cities, but I am especially thankful for the people taht I have met through you, whom I will keep in my heart my whole life.
I wish to make special mention to Real Oviedo because this club has taught me all taht I have been able to do on the pitch. I also address a special thought to all its supporters around the world. Without them, I would have never been so happy throughout this journey. Each and every encouraging word has helped me to move forward whem others might have given up. Before I conclude, I would like to tell you that I consider myself an honest guy thanks to the education I received from my family and that I have always tried to do my best for every club that you have led me to. I wholeheartedly apologise if, at any point, my acts may have upset any of your supporters, who love you madly as I do. Endless thanks to you, my friend. I will always be in debt with you!.
Always yours,
Miguel Pérez Cuesta, “Michu”.
Julio 2017.-"
