Time to say Good Bye

It’s time to say farewell after another incredible championship round at the European Championships in Germany, our neighbor, where I formerly played in the Bundesliga for years that will never be forgotten. I held great significance during my tenure on the national team. I proudly reflect on the numerous priceless experiences we had, including the thrilling games, our shared successes, and the hardships we overcame as a team. Since I was 15, the national team has played a significant role in my life. I competed in every World Cup and European Championship final round throughout my 10 years as the team’s number one, starting in the U16s and continuing through the U21s. We made it to the quarterfinals twice and the round of 16 four times.
