I am retiring from football. Unfortunately the injury I’ve had is forcing me to hang up my boots.”
– Federico Balzaretti, 33-years-old.
Grazie Balza…
“ I was able to play my last Roma match at the Olimpico and bring my four kids onto the pitch afterwards. It was fantastic. I knew Roma versus Palermo at the end of May was going to be the last match of my career. I will carry it in my heart forever. Thank you to Roma and to all the clubs I’ve played at. And thank you to the fans – they’re the reason we all do this job.”
