MILAN – After shining with the Inter shirt, Kily Gonzalez returned to Argentina but was forced to end his footballing career prematurely after suffering a bad injury in 2011 while wearing Rosario Central's shirt. At that point, Kily Gonzalez fell into depression but managed to get up thanks to the support of his family and his will power. Gonzalez told all this during an interview with La Nacion which was reported by fcinter1908.it.
Below are the statements made by Kily Gonzalez at La Nacion which were reported on the website fcinter1908.it.
"The moment I was forced to retire were difficult, black years. Years when I could not accept the withdrawal, as I had left my team. It lasted for four years. I had a long beard, looked like a shipwrecked man, many days I didn't even want to get out of bed. I fell asleep at 4 am and woke up the next day at noon, a disaster. I stopped playing and I automatically started letting myself go, as if I wanted to punish myself. Now it's much better because I'm busy as a coach, time-consuming is a problem for a former player. I refused to rely on a psychologist, time helped me to accept everything. I had lost self-esteem ».
"The family never abandoned me, but there was a moment when I was angry with the whole world, I took it out on those around me. I came to hate football, I couldn't even watch the matches of the Rosary. After three years he gave me a hand to start boxing because I freed my anger. "
