He added he wants to fully focus on his Arsenal club.I like to do things fully focused. And a time might come when I need a rest.

Of course, it would be better to say goodbye after a victory.The highlight of Cechs international career came at Euro 2004, when the Czechs reached the semifinals. He helped the team qualify for every continental championship since, and played in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.Cech follows Sparta Prague striker David Lafata and Bordeaux midfielder Jaroslav Plasil, who announced their retirements immediately after the game against Turkey.Also, coach Pavel Vrba terminated his contract with the national team last week to manage Anzhi Makhachkala in the Russian Premier League.Czech Football Association head Miroslav Pelta said on Friday he wanted Karel Jarolim to take over the national team as coach.
