After the press conference of the head coach of the national team and a conversation with the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, I decided to leave the national team. In due course, I will tell the Portuguese people the truth about the reasons for my departure from the national team to which I have always been loyal. Now it is time to wish good luck to the Portuguese team and to all my team-mates without exception.
