Former Italian national team player Dani Osvaldo ended his professional career very early. It happened when he was 30 years old and now the athlete has opened up about the reasons for this decision. "I just couldn't be in this sports world. I had quite a few offers from Chinese and Champions League teams, but I turned them down. Football deserves respect, and I prefer bbq and beer over money," said the former "Roma" and "Southampton" striker. He also recalled a funny conversation with "Sevilla" coach Jorge Sampaoli. "The strategist invited me to come to Spain and promised me complete freedom both on the field and off it. But then I reminded him that the "Cosquin Rock" festival was happening and the coach assured me that I could participate in it."
The career of D.Osvaldas ended due to the desire to live freely
