Before Lewandowski .. 8 times the clubs failed their legends and left them
Polish striker Robert Lewandowski ignited the world of football, with his statements in which
he confirmed his unwillingness to continue his career with Bayern Munich, because the club “let him down”.
Details have not been revealed yet, for the reason for the dispute between Lewandowski, the best player
in the world, and the Bavarian giant with whom he spent 8 seasons, but reports indicate that the dispute
began when the administration began negotiating with Norwegian striker Erling Halland months ago,
which revealed to Lewandowski the team’s desire to replace him.
Lewandowski’s disappointment was repeated a lot in football, and legends who made club glories with
their feet, had already left through the small door, in “humiliating” ways.
Pride of Ferguson
Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is considered one of the legends of Manchester United in the 2000s,
and led them with his goals to the English Premier League title several times.
But after 5 seasons with the “Red Devils”, Nestleroy entered into direct confrontations with the legendary
coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who accused him of creating problems and affecting the general atmosphere of
the team, which led to his complete marginalization and inappropriate treatment.
The controversy inflamed during the League Cup final against Wigan in 2006, when Ferguson decided to
make the league’s top scorer on the bench and not play him during the match.
And Nestleroy suffered from Ferguson’s “penalty” after that and remained in reserve until the end of
the league, to leave the club’s headquarters hours before the last match, and then signed months later
with Real Madrid, at a sad end for a historic scorer for the English club.
Ronaldo shocking exit
Ronaldo shocking exit
Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo, achieved all possible titles with “The Royal”, and led the team
to the top of the European pyramid.
But his end was very sad, when club president Florentino Perez decided not to meet the Portuguese star’s
financial demands, and opened the door for him to leave without holding on to him, to go out to Juventus.
Casillas’ tears
Casillas’ tears
Like many Real Madrid legends, legendary goalkeeper Casillas “humiliated” his childhood club, due to
the treatment of club president Perez.
Casillas held a sad press conference, which no one from the club management attended, in which he cried,
and announced his departure after 16 seasons with the team, due to the decline in his level and the club’s
desire to find a replacement for him.
Leaving without a meeting
Leaving without a meeting
Juventus legend, “Loyal” Del Piero, refused to leave the club when he was relegated to the second division
due to the “Calciopoli” scandal, but he walked out of the small door years later.
Suddenly, Juventus president Andrea Agnelli decided not to renew the contract of Del Piero, who was a key
player despite his old age, without even sitting with him for discussion, and since that day, Del Piero has not
come to Turin to watch his team, to avoid facing Agnelli.
Abandon Ramos
Abandon Ramos
The historical leader of Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos, wanted to stay in the “royal” club, and extend his contract,
last summer, but Perez refused to give him the three-year contract, and offered to give him a one-year contract.
Perez raised the astonishment of the “Royal” fans, especially since Ramos is still a solid defender, and is one
of the legends of the club that has won all the titles, so Ramos left in a sad way to Paris Saint-Germain.
Even Cruyff
Even Cruyff
Even the legend of Ajax Amsterdam, the late Johan Cruyff, sadly left his club, in 1983, when he won the league
and cup title, to be rewarded after renewing his contract.
Ajax did not want his legend at the age of 36, so Cruyff decided to take revenge, and moved to rival Feyenoord,
and achieved the League and Cup titles there, and scored a black point against Ajax and the management of
the team.
Real Madrid legend to Germany
Real Madrid legend to Germany
The dream of top scorer Raul Gonzalez was to retire at Real Madrid, but his dream evaporated when
the administration informed him of its desire not to renew his contract at the age of 32.
Raul was forced to move to Schalke 04, leaving the “Royal” behind, in a sad farewell to the club’s legend.
Summer farewell to Messi
Even the greatest football player, Lionel Messi, did not show his club Barcelona a great commitment to him,
because of his financial demands, and decided to let him “go” to rebuild the team with young elements.
Messi’s departure last summer shook the football world, and his tears moved millions. No one expected Messi
to leave Barcelona, no matter how high his salary, and no matter how little the team’s titles were, but he left to
leave, so he moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
