Athletic Bilbao Defender De Marcos Signs Off With Emotional Speech
Jose Angel Iribar: Athletic Bilbao defender Oscar de Marcos gave an emotive final press conference on Thursday before he plays the final game of his long career at home to FC Barcelona on Sunday.
The 36-year-old announced several months ago that he was hanging up his boots at the end of the campaign after 16 seasons and 572 first-team appearances. His record sees him as the outfield player with the most matches for the Basque club, with only goalkeeper Jose Angel Iribar ahead of him.
Sunday will see De Marcos play his 573rd and final game, but in a press conference held with current and former team-mates, the defender insisted he stuck by his decision to retire, reports Xinhua.
