Paul Scholes' Words

“I didn't leave the national team because of this,” Scholes stated.

The athlete emphasized that this decision was not the reason for his departure from the team.The sportsman remains an important figure in the history of English football. Scholes actively shares his experiences and thoughts on modern football, reflecting his deep interest in the development of the sport in the country.
