On Thursday, Napoli Femminile midfielder Michela Franco issued a heartfelt statement announcing her departure from the Azzurre.
Football, like life, is made up of choices, and it’s up to us to understand if it was the right one or not.
I spent a difficult year in Naples, a year that put me to the test, but in all of this I had a great response: the esteem and affection of my companions, whom I thank for all the beautiful moments shared together.
In addition to them I will also bring the memory of some people who have always supported me and I will forget instead that of others I have been disappointed by. For the rest, I feel that the time has come for a change, not only in the team, but above all in the choices I will make.
For many years I have been part of winning groups, just like this year..
But in addition to being recognized as a point of reference in the locker room, a character that comes naturally to me and of which I am proud, I realized that this is no longer enough for me, because today I feel that my abilities need to feel more stimulated compared to what I still want to achieve and what I can give, especially as a player on the field..
And if unfortunately this does not happen, I will be ready to make important decisions and choose what will be best for my future, always putting my values and my natural way of being first.
