“It is with much sadness that I
have decided to retire from
international football. These past
12 years in the national team have
been full of emotions. From my
first call up to my last match I
have always tried to give my best
for my country.
I am very proud to have been
captain of this team for 8 years
and to have contributed to placing
my country on the world stage of
football taking part in 3 world
cups and 2 African Cup of Nation
finals.
I cannot convey enough thanks to
the fans for all the love & support
during these years. All my goals,
all my caps, all our victories are
for you – I love you.
I also owe much gratitude to my
team mates – the players with
whom I have shared all these
emotions and I wish you all much
success for the future & a very
warm welcome to the new
manager.
