"Milan" and Argentine national team forward Hernan Crespo admitted that due to constant injury problems, he had considered ending his career. The 29-year-old player moved from Milan's "Inter" to London's "Chelsea" in 2003, but had physical condition issues there and played only 19 matches, scoring 10 goals, after which he was loaned to the Italian champion "Milan". However, back in Milan, Crespo still struggled with the problems that had been bothering him for some time, and for this, he received quite a bit of criticism in the press, with some believing that the best years of his career were already behind him. "When I kept getting one injury after another, I even thought about ending my career. I couldn't play two matches in a row and it weighed me down. I saw no light at the end of the tunnel. My successful game was always followed by poor performances, and I was completely dissatisfied with myself." - said Crespo. However, at the end of last year, before Christmas, the Argentine recovered and slowly started scoring goals again. Recently, it was his precise strikes that led "Milan" to victory in the Champions League quarter-final match against "Man Utd", and now Crespo has a total of 15 goals to his name. "Now I feel happy and proud, because I am again the player I used to be. I am in good physical condition, and I really needed this moment, because I was already thinking that I would hang up my boots in June." - said the Argentine national team forward - "But with hard work, everything changed, and I feel that I am alive in football again." Crespo also thanked his current club "Milan", where he hopes to become a full member soon, although that requires "Chelsea" and "Milan" to agree on the transfer fee for the player. " "Milan" was patient and treated me well. Thank God they gave me this opportunity. They only cared about me regaining good form. They gave me the strength to continue my career." - thanked Crespo the Italian club."
