Hugo Lloris ends his international career.
French goalie Hugo Lloris will no longer play for the France national team.
In an interview with the sports newspaper “L’Equipe”, the 36-year-old record national player (145 international matches) explains his retirement from international football: “I’d rather stop when I’m at the top.” It is not easy to announce his resignation, but “I think I’ve come to the end”. Even during the World Cup, he thought about whether he would continue after the tournament in Qatar.
Lloris, who comes from Nice, first guarded the goal of the “Équipe Tricolore” in November 2008 against Uruguay. He took part in three European championships and four world championships, and in 2018 he was able to lift the World Cup trophy as captain.
In his club Tottenham Hotspur, the 2018 world champion and finalist in 2022 wants to continue. (SDA)
