Le dernier challenge de Samuel
Walter Samuel, vainqueur du Festival Espoirs de Toulon en 1998, est en train de vivre les derniers moments de sa carrière. Le joueur de 37 ans a en effet révélé en octobre qu’il raccrochait les crampons à l’issue de l’exercice actuel. « Il arrive un moment où vous devez écouter votre corps », a affirmé le défenseur du FC Bâle au quotidien Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
Durant sa carrière, l’ancien international argentin (57 sélections) a notamment remporté 6 championnats d’Italie. Un avec l’AS Roma et cinq avec l’Inter Milan. Désormais, Samuel espère remporter le championnat de Suisse avec le FC Bâle. Un trophée qu’il a déjà gagné la saison passée.
