Gonzalez quits at 21
Chile and Liverpool midfielder Mark Gonzalez has quit international football at the tender age of 21, after a dispute with the coach.
The young winger was sent home from the team's European tour by boss Nelson Acosta in May for a breach of discipline.
Both he and team-mate Reinaldo Navia were axed from the squad after being found with three girls in their rooms 24 hours after their friendly win over the Republic of Ireland.
Gonzalez was outraged with the treatment and has always protested his innocence, and has therefore now taken the matter into his own hands by retiring.
"I am not going to continue. I am not going to wear the national shirt again and I don't have to give any explanations to anyone," he told Radio Cooperativa.
"Now the only thing I am thinking of is to keep doing my work in England.
"All that has been said about me during the national team's European tour has hurt me a lot.
"Now it's over and I don't want to talk anymore about what happened but I am sure of two things.
"I am not going to play for the national team again and I don't have to apologise to anyone like the coach pretends to make me do."
The fiery Chilean impressed on loan at Real Sociedad from January last season, he scored five goals in 12 starts for the team.
But Anfield boss Rafa Benitez is anxious to have him at Liverpool as the club prepare for another imminent assault on the Premiership title. |
