"I look back with great pride on 82 caps for my home country - a number I could never have dreamed of when I made my senior debut in 2011."
"My highlight was clearly the huge honour of being able to lead the team as captain at our home European Championships this summer!"
"But even before the tournament, I felt a certain tiredness in my body, and also in my head, which made me think, and the games at Euro only confirmed this."
