Christoph Metzelder says 2006 World Cup was amazing – Football news
Former Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christoph-Metzelder-c9168, got his first Germany cap when he was 20, and now he could not have hoped for a better career.
The central defender stated that he does not have the same passion for football that he had 13 years ago when he started as a youngster. On the other hand, he suggested that he will always remember http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904’s amazing run to the last four of the 2006 World Cup once he hangs up his boots.
"I am just being honest with myself and I feel that I am no longer physically able to play consistently at this level,” he said, "And, after 13 years, the fire inside me, which is necessary for this http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684, has burnt out."
The World Cup was a great memory for the veteran star. The seven week long tournament has etched its memory in Metzelder’s mind. He further added that the training session with head coach Jurgen Klinsmann in Sardinia along with the tribute by a million fans at the Brandenburg Gate was the best thing he has come across in his life.

"That is the highlight of my career. Those seven weeks, from the first training camp with Jurgen Klinsmann in Sardinia to the reception in front of a million fans in front of the Brandenburg Gate was the greatest time I ever experienced as a professional footballer," the former Real Madrid star was quoted as saying in an interview.
The experience was just too good and all the team members still remember it. Moreover, he revealed that he penned a diary back then and he might publish it in the not too distant future. Metzelder who currently plays for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Schalke-04-c39204 can help his side win over the weekend in his final domestic league game.
The former Germany international, Metzelder, stressed that the injuries he suffered were part of his career and he stayed strong even after that. He claimed that he will retire at the end of the current season as he knows he cannot play at the top level anymore and is no longer fit.
