'Thickening in the heart' Thuram has quit playing after being diagnosed with a heart problem during a medical with Paris Saint-Germain FC last month. He has a thickening of the walls of the heart, though not the same condition that claimed the life of his brother. "I wanted to be the Paolo Maldini of PSG but this won't be possible," said the 142-cap French international. "It is not the same illness [as my brother] but there is a thickening in the heart." Transfer called off The former AS Monaco FC, Parma FC and Juventus right-back or centre-back had been expected to complete a transfer from FC Barcelona to PSG until doctors detected the problem. Thuram also cited "family reasons" for deciding to hang up his boots while PSG club doctor Gerard Saillant confirmed that the Guadeloupe-born player had a chronic condition. It was anticipated that Thuram, who captained France at UEFA EURO 2008?, would sign an initial one-year contract with PSG after ending his two-season stay at Camp Nou. A 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA EURO 2000? winner with Les Bleus, his only two international goals were scored in the 1998 semi-final against Croatia, overturning a 1-0 deficit. 唉、、、雖然上個月體檢出問題時，大概就覺得差不多了 但現在看到這消息還是很遺憾 謝謝他在過去一百四十二次為大雞雞做的一切努力 沒有他，我們不會拿到九八世界盃冠軍，也無法擁抱兩千年歐洲盃獎盃 祝福這位有思想的後衛鐵漢，在退休之後的生活更為寬廣 嗯、、、要參政嘛XD -- ██ ▂▂▂▂▂ █ ◣ ▄ 【★ ██ I▓I █████ ◆▄ ██ ▆▆▆▆▆ █ ◤ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄EURO 2008 ▄ ◎ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ █████ ▄▄▄▄▄6/07-6/29 ▄ --
