He explained: "I can't take it anymore, I've decided.

"I have been in this situation for four years. It is a drain, it is getting worse, more and more continuous, more intense. It is complicated, when you complete the match, you have two or three days where you cannot walk , which is difficult. For me these six months were a very big challenge, I wanted to be with the team.

"Hopefully I can make it to December, because each match starts to be difficult.

"My life is football, I know it will be very difficult. I made that decision because it is something physical. You all know me, I like to play sports, but it is getting complicated little by little and I don't want to not be able to play with my children tomorrow. Every day I am in that situation, but I am pulled by the fact that I can't take it anymore."
