Argentina star Juan Sebastian Veron has slammed English
football.
The former Manchester United
and Chelsea flop says his time
in the Premier League nearly made him quit football altogether.
Veron told the News of the World: "I wandered around
Europe like a gypsy, without ever finding happiness or somebody who
understood me.
"That's why I went back to Estudiantes. I was tired of being a
wanderer.
"England has a spectacular Premier League but that's it. They
don't train very much and there were no proper warm-ups at
Manchester United.
"Paul Scholes would turn up and fire off a shot, without warming
up, from 50 metres towards the goal even when it was minus five
degrees. I did that once and I pulled a muscle from my knee to my
hip.
"I was never happy in England and my time there made me question
my desire to continue playing."
