Deisler ends his career

Deisler is forced to end his career due to his injuries (N24).

WTF! is this true!

He was so young ... not the first time this has ever happened in football .. a shame, so talented and gifted.

Shit, poor bloke, he really hasn't had much luck, has he?

What a shame and totally unexpected, so short after his comeback and one day after completing Bayern's training camp in Dubai without any problems...last time he played for Bayern in the Bundesliga he seemed so happy to me.

Yeah, I can't believe it either. I'm still in shock. What a great player and what an abrupt end of his career. I wish him all the best.

That is v sad news. Its such a shame when a player doesnt get the opportunity to fulfill his potential.

At least he's alive and (relatively ) well to get on with the rest of his life.

Would have been a better player than Ballack for sure...

Well for the first time, I have to agree with you.

Bayern have refused to tear up his contract- which runs up to 2009 - giving him the option to come back if he feels up to it.

You are talking about Deisler the wind-up merchant...., right?

No unfortunately not. It's indeed Sebastian Deisler who announced his retirement...

Midfielder ends career
Injuries prompt Deisler to quit the game







16.01.2007

Injury-plagued Bayern and Germany midfielder Sebastian Deisler has announced his immediate retirement from professional football. The 27-year-old informed Munich general manager Uli Hoeneß of his decision on Monday evening, before going public with the news the following day.

"It's not a decision I've come to overnight. I've taken my time over it," Deisler told a news conference at Bayern's Säbener Strasse headquarters on Tuesday lunchtime, revealing he had considered calling time on his career after his last major injury, a lacerated knee cartilage. "I had to push myself hard to get back up to speed."

The injury cleared up and Deisler made a successful Bundesliga comeback last autumn, "but I no longer have real faith in my knee's ability to cope with professional football," the player explained. "I'm not playing with the enjoyment you need any more. I don't want to do anything by halves. That doesn't help anyone," Deisler continued.

Hoeneß expressed deep regret at the player's chosen course of action. "For me, the decision is incomprehensible. We've done everything we could, and we regret this decision enormously," the board director declared. Deisler's contract, which runs until 30 June 2009, will not be dissolved but will instead be "suspended", Hoeneß announced. Should Deisler ever feel capable of playing at the highest level again, "he can take up this option at any time and come back to us."





BOLLOX!!!!!!!

They guy simply never had the physics and the mentality to become a top player. Was a shame, cause for a German midfielder he was very gifted, shame his body dont think that way.


Poor Bayern, they need to buy an entire midfield next year....

than I feel very sorry for Mental Bassie.... I hope he can cope with this huge dissapointment....

Sad news.

Never realised his potential to be a top class player.

Ironically in my Championship Manager game 01/02 season, he always retired at the age of 27 in it

I always thought it was a game fault....

I'm completely shocked.

Shame...

Just be grateful that you teutons have a production line of silky skilled midfielders.

to Deisler.
The brightest prospect that German football had in recent years.
Really a shame, cause he never had a real chance to show his true abilities.

does this mean the poster deisler also has to retire from this forumm?

You're scaring me... my tiny 'poster' brain cannot cope with these concepts oh mighty one.

If he fully recovers he's still got the time to make a come back if he wishes too.

Life some times isnt fair at all , another great talent not fulfilled.

That's the thing. He is not injured. He is retiring because he doesn't have faith in his knee anymore and can therefore not give 100%. He doesn't want to do anything half-assed as that wouldn't be good for him or Bayern.

I wish him all the best. There's more to life than football. (Yes, really.)

It just means he'll have more time to come on here and post wind-ups

I saw the game, on TV, in Dubai between Bayern and Benfica, and although it was only a practice match, Deisler never twisted or turned, or indeed ran. It just looked like he was protecting his knee.
Great players, when they lose the desire, or confidence that they will play to their full ability, usually retire. To finish at the top.

poor old deisler, absolute tragedy for football him having to retire, good luck to him for the future.
