John Stones a fait ses adieux \u00e9mouvants \u00e0 Manchester City, d\u00e9clarant : \u201c Je suis arriv\u00e9 en tant que gar\u00e7on et je repars en tant qu\u2019homme. \u201d<\/p>\n
Le d\u00e9fenseur international anglais a officiellement mis fin \u00e0 son passage de neuf ans \u00e0 l\u2019Etihad, cl\u00f4turant ainsi un chapitre riche en troph\u00e9es qui a fait de lui l\u2019un des joueurs anglais les plus d\u00e9cor\u00e9s de sa g\u00e9n\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n
Stones, 31 ans, a rejoint City en provenance d\u2019Everton en 2016 pour un montant d\u2019environ 47,5 millions de livres sterling. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, il \u00e9tait un d\u00e9fenseur central prometteur mais encore brut. Sous la direction de Pep Guardiola, il est devenu une figure cl\u00e9 d\u2019une \u00e9quipe qui a red\u00e9fini le football anglais.<\/p>\n
Dans son message d\u2019adieu, Stones a r\u00e9fl\u00e9chi \u00e0 son parcours. \u201c Je suis arriv\u00e9 ici en tant que gar\u00e7on, et maintenant je repars en tant qu\u2019homme \u201d, a-t-il \u00e9crit. \u201c J\u2019ai tout donn\u00e9 pour ce club et cette ville. Les souvenirs resteront avec moi pour toujours. \u201d<\/p>\n
Pendant son passage \u00e0 City, Stones a remport\u00e9 six titres de Premier League, deux FA Cups, quatre Coupes de la Ligue et la Ligue des champions en 2023 dans le cadre du tripl\u00e9 historique du club. Il a \u00e9galement jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le crucial dans la premi\u00e8re victoire de City \u00e0 la Coupe du Monde des Clubs.<\/p>\n
Sa polyvalence est devenue une marque de fabrique du syst\u00e8me de Guardiola, lui permettant souvent de glisser au milieu de terrain pour cr\u00e9er des sup\u00e9riorit\u00e9s num\u00e9riques. Cette \u00e9volution tactique l\u2019a rendu indispensable durant les p\u00e9riodes les plus fructueuses de City.<\/p>\n
Stones a \u00e9galement rendu hommage aux supporters. \u201c Vous m\u2019avez soutenu dans les hauts comme dans les bas. Je vous en serai toujours reconnaissant \u201d, a-t-il d\u00e9clar\u00e9. \u201c Manchester City fera toujours partie de qui je suis. \u201d<\/p>\n
Le d\u00e9part du d\u00e9fenseur marque la fin d\u2019une \u00e8re pour une \u00e9quipe de City qui a domin\u00e9 le football anglais. Bien que le club n\u2019ait pas encore confirm\u00e9 sa prochaine destination, des rapports sugg\u00e8rent qu\u2019un d\u00e9part \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger est probable, plusieurs clubs europ\u00e9ens ayant exprim\u00e9 leur int\u00e9r\u00eat.<\/p>\n
Stones quitte le club en tant que l\u00e9gende, \u00e9tant arriv\u00e9 comme un jeune prometteur et repartant en tant que vainqueur mature et aguerri. Son h\u00e9ritage \u00e0 l\u2019Etihad est assur\u00e9.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
