00:00It's hard for me to say that it will be my last game with my country's national team.
00:16I love that my kids are everywhere with me, that they are all alive, but today especially.
00:30I asked them not to be here because I don't want them to go through this moment.
00:46It's difficult, yes, very difficult, but it's the moment in which I can play my last game with the national team,
00:55and I'm going to play it with the same enthusiasm that I played in my first game with the national team in 2007.
01:03They don't take away my injuries, as has been said many times, that they stop calling me for one thing or another,
01:10that comforts me a lot.
01:13For me, individually, it helps me a lot to want to take that step aside and feel ready.
01:21It's difficult, because it wasn't an easy decision, but with the peace of mind that until the last game I gave my all,
01:30and that flame didn't go out little by little.
01:34I was lucky enough to win a lot of titles in my career, but I didn't change the title of the Copa America for anything in the world.
01:42It was the most beautiful moment.
01:45What I experienced in my career as a professional player was a Copa America with the national team.
01:54The Uruguayan player who, in a few months, sees me as one more player,
01:59because I'm going to be one more player, always wishing the best for the national team.
