Former Portugal international midfielder Deco has revealed that he is open to retirement from football at the end of 2013. He admitted that aging could be a factor in stunting his performance on the pitch so he could no longer guarantee the quality of gameplay that once made him a midfield sensation.
The former Porto, Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder told TV Globo :
"In football time is short. It makes me nostalgic thinking about it”
"But there comes a time when you are no longer able to compete with the same strength and intensity.
"I am competitive and I always want to win. I have a contract until the end of the year and I have set myself on having a good Campeonato Brasileiro."
Deco is one of the nine players who have won the UEFA Champions League with two different clubs, Porto and Barcelona.
