on september 3rd, beijing time, uruguayan famous striker suarez announced at a press conference that september 6th will be his last game for the national team.

suarez's decision to quit the national team was made after careful consideration. he said at the press conference: "i think the greatest pride for a person is to know when is the right time to retire. now, i would rather choose to retire than be stopped or forced to retire due to injury in the future."

as one of the most successful strikers in uruguay's history, suarez has dedicated everything to the uruguayan national team. the 37-year-old has played 142 games for the uruguayan national team, contributing 69 goals and 39 assists.

is suarez out of gas? not yet. looking at his performance in miami international, he is still one of the best strikers in uruguay. why did he announce his retirement from the national team at this time? suarez's football philosophy is simple: he does not want to be kicked out when he can no longer play. if that happens, no one will be able to save face.

the same thing happened to kroos of the german team. the german team's midfielder announced his retirement from the national team after the 2024 european cup. earlier, he announced his retirement from real madrid. you know, he is only 34 years old this year, much younger than suarez. according to professionals, he can still play for at least two or three years. looking at real madrid's struggling performance in la liga in the new season, you can see how important kroos is, but none of this matters anymore.

a few days ago, when attending an event, kroos was asked whether he would make a comeback. his answer was very firm: "when i make such a decision, it is final."

coincidentally, ronaldo, who is preparing for the european nations league cup with portugal, was also asked when he would retire. his answer was: "i think i am valuable to the national team now, and the coach's words also show this. when i feel that i am worthless, i will take the initiative to leave and leave with a clear conscience."

although ronaldo is two years older than suarez, he still thinks he can still play and give more help to the portuguese national team, so he will continue to play. in fact, ronaldo's performance in the european cup was mediocre, and many fans called on ronaldo to withdraw from the national team to make way for more young players.

in terms of personal ability, ronaldo is undoubtedly stronger than suarez and has achieved greater success. ronaldo's status, value and his past glorious achievements make this decision extremely difficult.

but in order to create more records, ronaldo's decision is to some extent a risk. one day in the future, i wonder if ronaldo will regret why he didn't make the same decision as suarez?
