PRAGUE -- Petr Cech retired from international football on Friday after a record 124 appearances in the Czech Republic goal.The 34-year-old Cech announced his decision after he was named the best Czech footballer of the last season for the 10th time in a poll of sports journalists.Its final, Cech said. 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. It may not be now, but the World Cup qualifying takes two years, and it wouldnt be right to announce in the middle of it that I dont feel like playing. Thats the reason for me to make the decision right now. A beautiful chapter is over.From his Czech debut at age 19 in 2002, a 2-0 victory over Hungary, Cech became a mainstay in the team. His last match was a 2-0 loss to Turkey in the final group-stage game at the European Championship in France on June 21.Cech denied the teams poor performance at the tournament influenced his decision to quit.I made the decision before the European Championship, he said. 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.
