[LNB]"I'm tired. Tired of always being here, of fighting to be in the team. There comes a time when your body starts to drag you down. [LNB]"The physical side doesn't help. I'm not here so I can get kicked and have to get up and continue for 90 minutes. [LNB]"I am at a club in which I have not won a lot and we have not won anything, but even when I was winning everything and I was a big player, I still had to fight with the national team. [LNB]'Today I have to keep on fighting and it gives me cause to stop and think about not playing (for Argentina) anymore. [LNB]"It's something I think about and I will do it one day, but it is easier to say it than to do it. [LNB]'I don't know if I have the balls to do it. I won't lie. I'm here more for the people and my family than for me."[LNB]
