00:21After almost 13 years as a member of the Philippine National Football Team,
00:26Patrick Reichelt retired from the Philippine Men's National Football Team.
00:32This was confirmed by Reichelt in his Facebook post last December

00:45According to Head Coach Albert Capellas,
00:47he became a 36-year-old booter supported by the Philippine Football Federation.
00:54From my side but also from the side of all the players, the staff, everyone involved in the federation,
00:59he deserves all the full respect for all his football career with the national team.
01:06He really is a player who did everything for the national team.
01:10Capillas also thanked Reichelt for his service to Philippine football.
01:15He deserves a proper goodbye.
01:18He deserves the appreciation from all footballers in the Philippines and for the country
01:24and also for me as a coach and for all of us inside of the team.
01:29He has contributed with his experience to help the young players.
01:34I feel sad that I cannot count on him more times
01:40but I'm 100% that he will come back in the football world again very soon.
