"AC Milan announces that the player, Emerson Ferreira Da Rosa, has successfully applied to resolve his contract with immediate effect, because of personal reasons," "We thank him for his experience demonstrated during his time as a Rossonero and Milan wishes him the best in the future."
The above is a statement is by AC Milan Football Club. News that elated me during a time of true personal trauma. Emerson, a.k.a Puma, is a player who has experienced what being world class is. Few can boast of the defensive abilities as a midfielder that Emerson once possessed when he played at Roma. He has played for the biggest clubs in the world, such as Juventus, Real and most recently Milan. He was bought some 2 seasons ago, at the age of 31 and was the only other purchase apart from Pato. Why he was bought from the Bernebau remains a mystery till date, considering a strong contingent of defensive midfielders were already plying their trade at the Meazza.
He has been a handy player so far. He has made 35 appearances over his tenure as a Milan player, but he has become a little bit demanding of late. He wanted to start every game, and wanted to be a regular in currently the best midfield in world. Now, that's asking too much, isn't it? He actually went to the extent of saying, if he played every game then Milan will win silverware. Though i found that incredibly funny, I did feel he has a streak of humour in him that is a rarity in defensive midfielders. Well, it wasn't much later that I realized he was actually being serious. I have heard that all good things come to an end. Its nice to know that all bad things come to an end as well.
