In an interview with Il Posticipo, former Inter striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo has spoken on how free he has felt in the years since giving up football in favour of pursuing a career in the music industry.
“People just don’t understand it, you know, they look at me like ‘you’re crazy. You had everything. You played in some of the best teams in the world and you decided just to quit to do this? You’re nuts’. People don’t understand. But it’s my passion.”
Osvaldo then spoke about his footballing life and one of his main gripes, all the rules he had to abide by.
“There are so many many rules in football. So so many rules. And I’m not good with the rules. I like to be free. I am proud of my career and I owe everything to football. But in football you have to live a life that’s not real.
“You have a price, a value. It’s crazy. If you’re good you’re worth 50 million and if you’re not good you’re worth nothing.
“The only thing that matters about you is Daniel Osvaldo the football player. I didn’t like that. I’m a sensitive person. I was tired. I was going crazy and I decided to live the musician’s life instead.
“I left football and I don’t feel heavy any more. I feel free and relaxed. I’m so happy now.”
