Experienced player stated that it might be time for him to retire from the national team.
“Yes, this is probably a farewell. I do not know what will be my future, but I do have 32 years now. I will always have the will to play for Brazil, but I do not know whether I will be able to handle it physically. I had three knee surgeries and for a 32-year old guy that is not a very simple thing. These were great years and the Olympic gold may be the perfect way to finish my career,” said Lipe for globoesporte.globo.com.
