I prioritized the importance of major tournaments and knew that after a World Cup, the games are meaningless, right? For the most part. First thing you play like myself, the friendlies. If there was ever a good time to take a break, it was then.

And in that year, because I chose to take off, the manager demoted me to number two, even though I was number one. So there was consequences for my decision, which I... New going in, right?
