Ramos retires from international football
This Thursday, the PSG player announced his international retirement. ” The time has come, the time to say goodbye to the national team, our dear and exciting Roja. This morning I received a call from the current coach who told me that he does not count and that he will not count on me, regardless of the level I can show or how I continue my career. With great regret, this is the end of a journey that I had hoped would be longer and which could have ended with another flavor, worthy of all the successes we have achieved with our national team. I humbly believe that this career deserved to end because of a personal decision or because my performances were not up to what our national team deserves, but not because of my age or other reasons that , without having heard them, I felt. Because being young or old isn’t a virtue or a flaw, it’s just a temporary characteristic that isn’t necessarily tied to performance or ability. I look with admiration and envy at Modric, Messi, Pepe… the essence, tradition, values, meritocracy and justice in football. Unfortunately, that won’t be the case for me, because football isn’t always fair and football is never just football. “, wrote Sergio Ramos on instagram.
