The homepage of Vilniaus Zalgiris Club (Lithuania) confirmed that striker David N'Gog has ended his professional football career. Notably, the 31-year-old player retired just 5 months after a failed attempt at Ho Chi Minh City club due to injury.
David N'Gog joined Zalgiris in February 2020 and has only played twice, scoring 1 goal. After 4 months, the 31-year-old striker won a Super Cup with Zalgiris.
The striker born in 1989 made a big impression when he wore a Liverpool shirt to compete in the Premier League. N'Gog's name is best known after Liverpool's main goal to seal a 2-0 win in the 90+6 minute against Manchester United in October 2009. However, due to not being able to maintain stable performance, N'Gog only stayed at Anfield for 3 seasons.
Leaving Liverpool, N'Gog drifted to Bolton, Swansea (English Premier League), Reims (Ligue 1), panionios (Greece), Ross County (England), Budapest Honved (Hungary) and Zalgiris, respectively, the last teams he played for. Having tried out a job in Ho Chi Minh City, this striker was not signed a contract due to a history of injuries and did not show the ability to adapt to the harshness of the V.League environment.
