What happened to Madrid’s ‘violent ogre’, Graveson, who had stopped taking his medications?

Michael Lautrup, Henning Jensen, Fleming Povlsen… and Thomas Graveson. Whenever there is a clash between Real Madrid or the Spanish team against the Danish team or the Danish team, these names come to mind again. But Always smiling is the latter: Thomas Graveson, signed in the 2005 winter marketIn January it lasted one more season. In the summer of 2006, during preseason and training in Austria, the Dane got into a fight with his then teammate Robinho. It was his departure from the Blanco Club.

In the 2006 preseason there was an incident between the Danish midfielder and the Brazilian attacker. Graveson hits Robinho and the two hit each other. They had to be separated from their teammates by the then white coach, Fabio Capello, and expelled from training.Felipe Sevillanolike a diary

Following his performances for Denmark ahead of Euro 2004, Thomas Graveson was impressive and feared in the Nordic team’s midfield. Madrid saw that they needed a tough player in the midfield and signed him after a meeting between the then white coach and sports director, Arico Sacchi, and Wanderlei Luxemburgo. The player came from Everton where he played. However, the Madrid duo missed the shot: the aggressive midfielder Lee Carsley, physically similar to Graveson. Thus, in January 2005, Graveson arrived in the Madrid capital with a contract worth 2.8 million euros per season.

quickly, The player was loved by the white fans. Please, his desire, his drive, spirit and attitude went down well in the white stands at that moment. Constellations They have already begun their descent. In June 2005, Luis Figo became the first Galactico to leave the white discipline. ‘mad dog Or the famous cartoon ogre, popularized by DreamWorks, as he was nicknamed, was not shy about giving instructions on how to play: he did it in the middle of the game, with abrupt gestures, the recipients were like soccer players. Zidane, Raúl, Ronaldo Nazario, Guti or Figo himself: “It’s fantastic to play with any of them when you want, but the team fell apart at times because only three ran. If you’re going to be a superstar and earn more than anyone else, you have to get ahead first, and they’re not doing that. “Sometimes they behaved stupidly,” he said in one of his later interviews. On another occasion, he assured that he did not regularly take the drugs or vitamin complexes that the club and national team doctors sent him: “I don’t know what they are made of,” he confirmed.

But Already during his time at Everton he was involved in strong controversies and conflicts: According to his partner James McFadden, He once appeared at a Liverpool blue team match in the city with a paintball gun. “He started shooting at everyone! On another occasion he started shooting firecrackers and a huge rocket. He shot it at the physical trainer!”. He was involved in another incident with the Danish team when he removed his private parts and placed them on top of a teammate’s head.

In Madrid, the great Michael Robinson quickly named his greatest folly on the pitch: against Sevilla at the Bernabéu, and after Zidane made a roulette in the center of the field and gave him the ball, the Dane ran. With the ball under control, he suddenly stuck his knee into the grass as the ball continued its path, getting up and continuing the game to the Sevilla player’s astonishment. They called this technical gesture a tombstone, Whose definition is the past in the future. “Find-triple with patella, meniscus and cruciate ligament at the service of the show.”

But at the end of the 2005-06 campaign, with the change of president and the arrival of Fabio Capello, his time in Madrid would come to an end in Austria: One morning at training, during a minor match, he and Robinho had a bad time. “I admit I did it a couple of times, yes, but that’s football, he doesn’t have any injuries. He lost the ball, he hit me, he kicked me, I went for him, that’s how I reacted. It’s better.” I didn’t understand it, or it’s a shame, you can say, but in retrospect, it’s better not to do it.” He was transferred to Scottish club Celtic. When asked about the incident, Graveson didn’t hesitate: “I know there is. Photos of the episode on Madrid TV, but they do not show them. Why not? It’s strange. “Everyone thinks they want what they want,” he explains. Robinho was his last point in Madrid. But he also had problems with Ronaldo Nazario: he collided with the Brazilian in training, shook him, threw him to the grass and when he got up he hit him on the head, which broke his tooth.

In 2009 he announced his retirement from football after playing one last season with Celtic, in which he learned that his contract would not be renewed. But his career takes a 180-degree turn after leaving the playground. Precisely, the sport that would make him millions and make him a millionaire: sport, especially poker, and a city, Las Vegas, that saw the rise and fall of this midfielder. He accumulated more than 110 million dollars, practically in euros, in profits between investments and games of chance: then he lost almost half (it is said that he lost close to 60 million…). While playing for Celtic, he became engaged to Denmark’s most famous porn star, Kira Eggers: if he wanted to see photos of her, he told his teammates to Google her. With Czech model Kamila Pars. Based in the United States, he lives in a luxury development, with Nicolas Cage and Andre Agassi as neighbors.
