Nicklas Bendtner hangs up his boots. After a year and a half without a team, the forward has decided to put an end to his football career. A career that has given him a lot. It was at Arsenal, Rosenborg and Wolfsburg that the Danish international shone the most. He also played for Juventus, Birmingham, Sunderland. But they have been their scandals off the pitch, which has contributed pepper to his excellent football career.
His nocturnal adventures will be remembered for years, as will his 116 goals plus the 30 he scored with his national team throughout his career. Sleepless nights at the casinos; poker gambling; messes in the changing rooms of Juventus and the Danish national team; conviction of assault on a taxi driver with an electronic anklet; problems with alcohol and prostitutes; photos in his social networks almost naked; UEFA fine for showing his underpants in celebration of a goal … There has been no mess where Bredtner had nothing to do with. The publication of his biography was the time of year in Denmark and much of the UK. In it he confessed that he had to pay “a breast operation to avoid blackmail by a prostitute”.
The last that the Danish giant counted were his pluses and minuses with Arsene Wenger at the ArsenaHim: “I called Wenger an asshole to sell me, but it didn't work out.”
The Copenhagen-born man had not found a team since the beginning of 2020. A year and a half without playing a game and that is why at 33 he has decided that his time as a footballer is over. But now he is preparing a super bomb, which coming from him will surely give a lot of play in the future. He wants to be a coach. Bendtner, who has played under Wenger, Steve Bruce, Antonio Conte, Solbakken or Morten Olsen, wants to jump into the dugout. “Soccer is a big part of my life and I can't give it up. That is why I am in the process of learning to be a coach. I hope he gives me as much or maybe more than what he gave me as a player. That way, I will always be a part of soccer. ”Prepare that there is Bendtner for a while.
