SOUNDBITE: (English) Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden team's captain

"The last game for Sweden in Euro will be my last game for Sweden. So I hope it will not be tomorrow. And I will not participate in the Olympics because my last game will be the last game Sweden does in this Euro. So lets hope it goes as long as possible. To finish in a disappointment? Never. Because I am very proud to be the captain of Sweden and what I have achieved. So I want to take this moment and thank all the supporters because they made it possible for me to achieve what I have achieved. Without them it wouldn't be possible. Wherever I go and wherever I come I will always bring the Swedish flag with me and stand with it. So for me a disappointment doesn't exist. Only proudness and gratefulness. I am very thankful. So Thank you."
