Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman have been singing about it in their world hit since 1996: Sooner or later, it’s always “Time to Say Goodbye.” Of course, this also applies to professional footballers. But how hard is it sometimes for the stars to say farewell?
“There are still two months before I retire. I’m not interested in the condition of my knees. If they have to give out, then they’ll give out,” Dante recently explained when asked about his ongoing problems.
