New Delhi: Sunil Chhetri who represents the face of Indian Football and is known for his strong fitness goals and rigorous hard work has left everyone in tears after announcing retirement from the game. The legendary footballer said the match against Kuwait will be his last game. He made the announcement by posting a video in his social media handle.<\/p>\n
Soon after he posted the video, the entire social media started buzzing with reactions from his fans.. take a look<\/p>\n
He said in his video \u201cWhen I did decide that this is going to be my last game, I told my family about it. Dad was normal. He was relieved, happy, everything. It was my wife, strangely. I told her. \u2018You always used to bug me that there are too many games, there\u2019s too much of pressure. Now I am telling you that I\u2019m not going to play for my country anymore after this game.\u2019 Even they couldn\u2019t tell me why there were tears. It\u2019s not that I was feeling tired, not that I was feeling this or that. When the instinct came that this should be my last game, I thought about it a lot, eventually I came to this decision\u2019.<\/p>\n
He adds Will I be sad after this? Of course! Do I feel sad sometimes everyday because of this? Yes!\u201d Sunil Chhetri added in the video. \u201cDo I feel like I\u2019ll miss the train and there\u2019s just 2o days of training? Yes. It took time because the kid inside me never wants to stop given a chance to play for his country.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have practically lived the dream. Nothing comes close to playing for the country. So the kid kept fighting. But the mature inside knew it that this was it. It wasn\u2019t easy,\u201d Sunil Chhetri admitted before adding: \u201cEvery training that I do with the national team, I\u2019m just going to enjoy it. I don\u2019t feel that pressure. The game demands pressure. Against Kuwait, we need the three points to qualify for the third round. But in a strange way, I don\u2019t feel the pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
