Nietzsche wrote that the future is a leap. The appointment may well illustrate the situation of a child prodigy who you surely sound. Freddy Adu. No, I do not mean the child of "Hi, Adu, Merry Christmas" , the famous ad from years ago. I speak of young American of Ghanaian origin, which named football as the new Pele. Adu is one of the names that have moved in this winter market monopolized by Fernando Torres .
At 21, Adu leaves the discipline to go on loan to Benfica Caykur Rizespor lifetime.
Change the Turkish Portuguese league. Well, by the Turkish second division. Whenever a player changes club, is said to have been a "qualitative leap". Where Adu has made the leap? "Vacuum?
When you put on top, comes the fall. Sooner or later. It happened to Ronaldinho, a premature decline, or rather, in a stupid self-destruction. And will happen to Messi, who knows when. The stars go blue as the sun off someday. It's natural. It's happened to so many other players. But it's not normal that a player with such projection up at a second of Turkey.
Adu became the youngest player in Major League Soccer when it debuted 14 years. It was in 2003 and soon to be designated as the heir to Pele O'Rei . Four years later would jump to Europe, where more than one had long followed. There was talk of interest from Sir Alex Ferguson. Including that of Mourinho, who was then coaching at Chelsea. But in the end it was decided to Benfica, the club still belongs.
Since his arrival in Portugal, Freddy has been bouncing from team to team. AS Monaco, Os Belenenses of Portugal and Aris Thessaloniki, Greece. Release here, transfer there, Adu had lost the name in your country. The U.S. team, which debuted at 16, not invited to the World Cup.
American striker hopes to find in the regular Rizespor was not in Ligue 1 or the Aris, under the command of Hector Cuper. Coincided with another technician known: José Antonio Camacho. In Murcia on the bench for Benfica, Freddy got its best numbers on the European continent: 5 goals in 19 games. But it never fulfilled the expectations. Perhaps because he weighed O'Rei crown too.
Adu is too young. Although right now is in the Turkish second division, still has time to prove whether he deserves a place in a top-level league. You never know. The future is a leap. I just wrote part of his past but he can only write what comes. We'll see if next season Benfica Adu again or still in the Rizespor, which could give effect to the option on him. Or go back to God knows where assigned. By the way, where he is now a child of "Hi, Tom, Merry Christmas"?
