COMPLETE LIBERATION

The time has come, the time to say goodbye to the national team, our dear and exciting Rouge. This morning I received a call from the current Coach telling me that he does not count and that he will not count on me, no matter how good I can show or how I pursue my sporting career. regret, it’s the end of a journey that I had hoped would be longer and which would end with a better taste in the mouth, on par with all the successes we have achieved with our Rouge.

I humbly believe that this trajectory deserved to end due to a personal decision or because my performance was not up to what our national team deserves, but not due to 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 will not be my case, because football is not always fair and football is never just football. For all this, I assume it with this sadness that I want to share with you, but also with my head held high and very grateful for all these years and for all your support. I take with me indelible memories, all the titles for which we fought and celebrated together, and the immense pride of being the Spanish player with the most caps. This shield, this jersey and these fans, all of you, have made me happy.

I will continue to encourage my country from home with the emotion of the privileged person who was able to proudly represent it 180 times. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who have always believed in me!
