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.”
