The Atletico Madrid man has decided to retire from international football with immediate effect. "From this moment on, and due to personal reasons, I will not be available to officially represent the Portuguese national squad," Simao's letter to the Portuguese Football Federation reads. "After a deep reflection, I believe the time has come for me to put an end to my presence as a professional player in representing our national team on the field, this way also opening up room for new talented players to make their own successful path, just like I was given that same opportunity in the past. "It was a tremendous honour and pleasure to wear the shirt of the national team and represent and serve Portugal during all these years, and I am extremely proud to have been part of such extraordinary teams who conquered so many victories in this world of football." The 30-year-old Simao made his official debut for Portugal's senior side in November 1998 and has since made over 80 international appearances for the national team. ===== 有點突然...感謝Simao過去對國家隊的付出~ and明天會公布預選賽的名單。 --
