Former Liverpool and Manchester City winger Albert Riera, 32, has been under fire in the past few days. Reason? Well, some claim that his contract with Serie A club Udinese was terminated last Thursday after he skipped a match against Chievo to play in a poker tournament in Slovenia, where he won €3,550 for finishing second.
Udinese announced that Riera was no longer part of the club on Thursday on their website: 'Udinese Calcio announces that the contract with the footballer Albert Ortega Riera has been terminated by mutual consent. Udinese Calcio wishes the footballer all the best for his future career.'
According to Daily Mail, Riera insisted that the termination of his contract had nothing to do with his choice of playing poker instead of football.

Well this shows that poker was a virus for him to miss a game to play poker well he is stupid he earns so much more playing football and it might be the fact he needs the rush of poker that is why he skip football to play poker lol, anyway bad move from him and gambling looks to be a problems if it let you miss your job and you lose interest and so on and just cannot do your work!He's been having problems with the club, having said in public that the italian club that he plays for is the worst he ever represented.From reading some of the newspaper reports he didn't even play a single game for Udinese so I am sure the sacking was due to them not wanting him and from Rieras point of view he obviously didn't want to be playing for them anyway.
He won a bit of money so looks like it all worked out for everyone in the end!Posted by Heskor:

€3,550 is really not a bad payout, but I guess if he plays in the Serie A he should definitely earn more per month than what he has won there. It was just one nights` work but risking to loose the job for it is not worth it.

Haha, looser leaves town. However in this case the runner up does.
Udinese F.C. is a very serious club and demands from all its players who are in the stands to cheer for the team when they do not play . go play poker was not a good idea for Riera
