I looked at it, and it was like, 'Can I push and make the Olympic squad?' It is tough going from 18 players, including Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. I thought that might be a push too far for me. I had no Champions League with Chelsea. I lost my motivation.

I will have some time off, do some media works, and I think, for 17 years, I have given everything I could.

When you have given all you can and no more, then you should just stop. I am an all-in type of person, so I will enjoy rest and family time.
