AMSTERDAM - To finish with dignity is how Robin van Persie wants to end his playing days on Sunday when he hangs up his boots after an 18-year career.
“The goal was go out with honour because football is my passion,” the 35-year-old told Dutch media on Saturday before he plays his last game for Feyenoord against ADO Den Haag in Rotterdam. He also played in Turkey before returning to his first professional club to see out his career, making the decision to retire one year ago already.
“If I had only taken the decision a few weeks ago, it would have been difficult to let it sink it in such a short period of time,” he told a news conference.
