RSC Anderlecht said on its official website on the 25th (Korea time) "Belgium's legendary national team and our captain will take off his soccer shoes at the end of this season. Vertonghen decided to retire as a professional player at the end of this season. This means that the player who made the most impressive career in Belgian football history has decided to end it,' he said, announcing Vertonghen's decision to retire.
Vertonghen "It has become clear in recent weeks that this season will be my last game. It's never an easy decision, but it's the right one. I realized it's getting harder and harder to physically prepare for training sessions and matches and show myself as a player I want to be. It was not just for fans and fellow players, but for themselves. I'll finish this season"He explained why he made the decision to retire himself.
Vertonghen went on to say "I want to do my best over the last 11 games and experience a few more great moments with my fans and teammates. I am very proud of what I have experienced and what I have achieved. Also, I want to thank everyone who supported me from deep down in my heart," he said, greeting his fans as well.
Vertonghen grew up in the Dutch prestigious Ajax and made his first team debut. Vertonghen, who grew at a tremendous pace in Ajax, jumped to the starting lineup and played an active role in Ajax for five seasons. Vertonghen's heyday began when he moved to Tottenham in the 2012-2013 season.
