The Ginger Prince back to retire again. Who knows that in season 2012/2013, there are many signs at the first until the last day. We did not realize that at the first time, God showed us a signs.
Robin van Persie choose the number 20 (and United won the 20th title in England), Lindegaard choose number 13 (and United won the 13th title of Premier League), and Kagawa choose number 26 (Fergie retired on his 26th years at United). Like a pattern of retirement who continued by Albert Morgan (the Kit-man of Manchester United) and the legendary Paul Scholes.
Scholes taught us that a football player not all about celebrity, money, paparazzi, red carpet, bad boy, or any negative think. He taught us about professionalism, loyalty, be humble person, and be a legend. Why Scholes choose this season to retire? Because he taught that the camera will not go to him if Ferguson retired and Rooney wants to transfer. A humble player.
On the last Fergie’s speech at Old Trafford last week, he said that we must respect for Scholes’s decision. Maybe, if Fergie did not mention that Scholes will retired, we didn’t know that there is a legend who will retired end of this season.
Scholes also said that this season was not a good season for him. His knee injury make him absent for four months and he can’t go back to his best perfomances after that. And with the EPL title this season, Scholes completed his journey in Manchester United with 10 titles, 98 yellow cards, 4 red cards, 498 matches, and 107 goals.
A reporter have asked Zidane about his feeling to be the best midfielder in the world. What Zidane said was ” The best midfielder? Ask Scholes!”
