I am officially announcing the end of my professional career! It was a real pleasure and it was a perfect time in my life! I really love this game and I am happy to have been part of so many great clubs! Every single year in my career was very special and different. I love all the steps and transfers I made. All the clubs and people, in all the countries I have been, showed me a lot of respect, love and gave me a lot of energy! I always was and will be an honest and correct person, who wanted to win and do the best for the club and my players/friends around me. I was never scared to tell what i think and feel. I have the feeling that a lot of clubs appreciate the way I am (was)! It was an honor to be the captain in so many of my clubs! I was always trying to be an example for everyobdy in and outside the pitch. I would like to say thank you to all the players, coaches, directors and clubs I have worked with! One more time: Danke, Thank you, спасибо, Рахмет, aciu, paldies! #austria🇦🇹 #kazakhstan🇰🇿 #lithuania🇱🇹 #latvia🇱🇻 @fk_rfs @firstviennafc1894 @fcaktobe_official @fctobol @fkaustriawien @scwienerneustadt08 @oesterreichische.bundesliga @pflkaz @optibetalyga @futbolavirsliga @championsleague @europacnfleague #respect #love #noracism @pumafootball

Danke Jungs ! Danke auch an das ganze Trainerteam und die Vereinsführung, ihr alle habt mich unglaublich schnell und geil aufgenommen !
