The Farewell of a Football Legend: My Last Game with the National Team

Haha understand that the day eh Friday me yes, I found it hard to say no, that which will be my last game with with the national team of my country, but it is something that I’ve been thinking about it, I had been analyzing it. It is time, I think indicated, because I have my reasons eh. There is no one who to make the decision not to be myself and my family, which is difficult, yes, it is very difficult, but it is the time when eh I can play the last game with the national team. Quiet, I’m going to play it with the same illusion that I played my first one. match with the national team in 2007, with the same desire, with the same illusion that I had that child who started 19 years old eh. And that already a veteran player, old man, whatever you want to call it, with an incredible trajectory in the national team, is going to leave life on Friday. Why? Because they taught me all that since I started here. to give myself always throughout my country of which I am. I don’t want to start saying goodbye, thank each and every one of the officials, colleagues, all because they already know it, because I was informing each one of them that they found out from me, from my mouth, of my, of my retirement from the national team, but I leave with the peace of mind of that until Friday I gave my all I could for the selection and the Maximum eh? I have nothing to reproach myself for at any time. and what I do want to thank eh to each one of the Uruguayan fans who that encouraged me these last few days, what were very encouraging messages eh? That it reflects what I represented for for my country and that’s what I’m doing will make me very proud after Friday
