"After a few weeks of consideration, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to end my national team career," Gündogan wrote, expressing his thoughtful decision.
"I look back with great pride on 82 international matches for my home country -- a number I could never have dreamed of when I made my debut for the senior national team in 2011." This highlights his remarkable journey.
"But even before the tournament, I felt a certain tiredness in my body and also in my head, which made me think," reflecting the physical demands of international football.
"I will definitely continue to be a fan of this national team and I really hope that we can continue the upward trend together... We have a fantastic coach, a really strong squad and a great team spirit." This expresses his optimism for the future.
