Manchester City star David Silva officially announced through social networks that he is giving up the national team of Spain. A few days later, Barcelona`s defender Gerard Pique also did so.
Silva spent 12 years in La Fouria and has recorded 125 games according
contacts with best football tips with 35 goals, and two European titles from 2008 and 2012 and one World Cup since 2010. Statistically, he is the sixth player with most matches in the history of the national team and the fourth on the La Roche hits. It`s not easy to write this after all I`ve been through. I`ve been thinking about it in the last few weeks, I`ve been thinking about what the national team means to me. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most difficult decisions I have made, doing it with humility and gratitude. The national team gave me everything, and I learned how to grow up in the youth formations to the men`s team. I can proudly say that I have recorded 125 games, scored 35 goals in the last 12 years, in which we twice won the European title and once the World Cup.
I`m happy with everything I`ve done with the team, everything I`ve ever experienced with the team that will never be forgotten. I put an end to this stage of my life, full of emotions, thinking of the unforgettable moments like Luis Aragones, the teacher we will never forget.
I can not leave without thankful to the teammates and the coaches who have faith in me for the employees of the federation who made our lives easier. Thanks to my family for support over the years, without their help I would not be part of the great history of the national team. Of course, I thank all the fans who supported me while I was wearing the national jersey, Silva wrote.
