One of the Spain’s most decorated football player, David Villa, announced his retirement from International football.
This came as a shocker as he helped his club, Atletico Madrid, to win Spanish League title after 16 years this season.I don’t like to say it, but yes, obviously this will be my last World Cup and my last games with the selection given my age, my level of performance, and everything I have given the team. It is time.
On Monday last week, Villa signed a three-year contract with New York City FC, becoming the first player to join the expansion Major League Soccer team.
It’s one of the reasons I accepted this offer – because I still have a lot of football left in me, Otherwise I would have gone home. I want to make a name for myself in this part of the world.
