He said: “The other day, people said I was crying [on the touchline] because I’d been given a yellow card.

“What nonsense is that! I was crying because my country, with me as captain, had got into the semifinals. 

“I could never criticise someone who was crying because of that.

“But I’m criticised, when I’d cut my hand off to win the Euros.

“I try to enjoy this tournament, which could be my last games with the national team, and in the future, what will be, will be.

“Maybe one day they’ll even miss me.

“Each day, the moment for leaving is closer, that’s why I enjoy it, that’s why I’ll cry at whatever comes next, for good or bad.”
