Andrea Ranocchia announces the retirement: 'Something has died in me'

A decision that came after a long reflection.

Andrea Ranocchia the day after his contract termination with Monza, announced that he had decided to leave football.

The announcement entrusted him to the Instagram profile, with a double long post in which he traces his career.

After the last 12 years at Inter Ranocchia this summer had moved to Monza, the first shot of the freshman from Brianza who arrived at the historic promotion to Serie A. Ranocchia had arrived to give experience to the defense and had played on his debut in the Italian cup in the victorious match against the Frosinone.

In the first league match at home against Turin, the coach Stroppa had left him on the bench and the team had lost 2-1.

On the second day at the Maradona in Naples Ranocchia had returned to the field, but in the recovery of the first half he had sustained a serious injury, with the compound fracture of the fibula of the right leg and the sprain of the right ankle.

A long stop that prompted the 34-year-old defender to reflect on the future and on the need to start looking at his life from another perspective.

The confirmation is in the video posted in which Frog confesses: "It is as if a switch has gone off inside me. I don't think I will play football anymore."
