In the case of ‘skyblue’, without him they would not have reached that number and therefore, they would not have been able to compete at the national level. That’s why he keeps renewing even when he’s not playing. Although not many remember it, almost 20 years ago, in 2005, a historic team that was a part of it, the Liverpool. They won the famous Champions League in Istanbul where they lost 3-0 at half-time against Milan. He wasn’t even a star there because of his pauses.
It was exactly in the Champions League that he played his last game more than two years ago when he entered the green in place of Ederson with a 5-0 score against Sporting Club de Lisbon.
