So the thought of retiring has come into my mind because everywhere I go, people are asking when I’m retiring,” he continued."But for me, I’ll just take one step at a time. I’ve got a family and a team that supports me. It’s nice to be in a family like TS Galaxy. You feel important and you feel wanted.“Truly speaking, I can’t say I will retire tomorrow or next week. At the moment, I’m still focusing on my career, and whatever happens tomorrow is in God’s hands."
