This is how Simon Kjaerinterviewed on the Danish television channel 2 Sportannounced his permanent retirement. “It really is a good time to close this chapter. It’s not a decision I made after the summer, but one I thought about before the European Championship“, he added.
The decision of the Danish defender, who said goodbye to l’AC Milan in May, had consequences on numerous events. He admitted it himself:“Many elements influenced my future. Children, family, the national team and Milan, the club of my dreams. There were many things that made it end like this after the Championship. ‘Europe: I waited for something to happen, but I had to decide first for my family and then for the sporting aspect. I don’t miss anything in that sense.“.
The central defender focused on the end of his career with the Rossoneri : “I experienced the end at San Siro and that experience… I knew very well that it was the end. I absolutely didn’t need to report anything to anyone other than myself. Looking back, I could have easily made the retreat even bigger and made an even bigger scene after Milan. But I didn’t need it. It was not important for me to receive such a farewell“.
