The management owned my flesh and bones, in a sense. A soccer player at my level is a bit like an orange. The club squeezes it until there’s no juice left, and then it’s time to sell the guy. That might sound harsh, but that’s how it is. It’s part of the game. We’re owned by the club, and we’re not there to improve our health, we’re there to win, and sometimes even the doctors don’t know where they stand. Should they view the players as patients or as products on the team?
