Juventus knows how to do it on the market, but the Lady also had her good flops. On 31 August 2011, the Lady announced the arrival of the Dutch Eljero Elia, purchased from Hamburg for 9 million. Perhaps it was better to spend them in another way, considering that Conte quickly passes from 4-2-4 to 3-5-2, in which the oranje is almost useless. In total, the tulip accumulates just 5 appearances for black and white, before leaving Serie A to return to the Bundesliga and at home, with experiences also in the Premier League and Turkey. Now, however, the former Juventus player has announced the end of his career live on ESPN’s show De Voetablkantine.
“I felt like an ex for a few years”

“I’m leaving football. I’m so busy that I haven’t even had time to do it. But it’s time to let all of the Netherlands know that I’m no longer a footballer.” A decision that was motivated by a career that has gone more and more into a nosedive, to the point that Elia explains that, despite the fact that he played until January 2022, he has been considering himself an ex for a while. “I’ve stopped in my head for a few years already. I haven’t enjoyed myself at all in recent seasons, I haven’t even had a happy moment at Utrecht.” That is, his penultimate club, with which he played until mid-2021, before moving to ADO Den Haag and seriously injuring a ligament.
Rapping career

Well, he might as well stop playing. But what is it that keeps Elijah so busy that he can’t even bid him farewell? As BILD explains, it’s a career as a rapper. Last August, the Dutchman released a hip-hop album titled “Molenwijk”, dedicated to the Hague neighborhood where he grew up. In the song of the same name, Elia sings about how he once crossed the streets of Molenwijk with the number 10 tram, and now he does it driving a Bentley, thanking his father who has always supported him. Even in this field, however, things are not going too well for the former Juventus player. For him, Spotify’s numbers are low, with his most played song stopping at just 55,000 plays. But maybe now Elia will have more time to devote himself to music and things will improve!
