National Team

 “What an honour! To be able to play for my country and represent the team was one of the most highest rewards i can have in my career! And to captain the team and in the process to become all time leading goalscorer of my country is one of the things in my career i am most proud of! It didn’t matter if we were wining or losing, every time stepping on the pitch with that shirt represented a great joy and pride for me”
