Morata: I suffered from acute depression, I wanted to quit football

Milan striker Alvaro Morata has returned to Madrid to play for the national team and has decided to do just one interview.

He chose the radio program "Herrera en Cope" where his confession began with these words: "When you go through really difficult times, with depression and panic attacks, it doesn't matter what work you do or the situation you experience. You have to fight against that other person inside yourself every day and every night. For me, the best thing was to leave Spain because I couldn't take it anymore. "

After the victory in the European Championship, Alvaro immediately admitted that without the help of Iniesta and Bojan, two teammates who suffered from severe depression, he would not have been able to go to Germany.

"I felt terribly bad. I thought I wouldn't be able to put on my shoes and go down to the field. But thanks to many people like Koke, Simeone, Miguel Angel Zhil, my psychiatrist, my mental coach I made it. We are what we see on television or on social networks, but sometimes real life is very different. You have to give a certain image because it's your job, but I was bad. I exploded and at one point I couldn't even tie my shoes. And when I did, I wanted to go home because my throat would dry up and my vision would get blurry," the Spain captain explained.

Honest words with the transfer to Milan also in danger as the 31-year-old continued: "Just three months before the European Championship, I wasn't even sure I could play a game again. I didn't know what was happening to me, it was a delicate and complicated moment because what I loved had become what I hated the most. Even when I went out for a walk with the children, I received insults and became an easy prey for anyone who wanted to make fun of me."
