Free since his departure from Genoa last November, Patrick Vieira is patient while waiting to take on a new challenge. The former midfielder also took the opportunity to give a few interviews. This Friday, A.S. shares statements from the former Manchester City and Arsenal player on his career.
“I only regret one thing: not having gone to Real Madrid. They offered it to me four years in a row, when I was at Arsenal. The last year, I accepted, everything was completed, but I changed my mind. I loved Arsenal too much. During a trip to Madrid as Manchester City ambassador, I was brought an article about the transfer. I was told: ‘you were the only player to have refused Real Madrid.’ A decision he now regrets.
