Here's what Cafu said:

'Five years ago, I chose to come to Milan because I knew that it was a serious club, important, and that I could have the chance to demonstrate everything that I'd learned in my footballing past. I've had five marvelous years in which we won everything. It'll remain an incredible memory for me. When I arrived in the summer of 2003, Milan had just won the CL at Manchester and today Milan is still for a few days CL champions, after the final in Athens. With Milan we've won so many titles including World Champions and Italian champions. I think that what'll remain with me forever is the joy for all the titles I've won with my teammates. The time has come to leave, it's sad and difficult, but I knew that sooner or later the time would arrive to return home, to return to Brazil to my family. My children have enjoyed Italy, especially Milan.

When I arrived in Milan, I found Coach Carlo Ancelotti who has also known the Roma atmosphere. From the first game in rome, there was the curiosity of seeing the reactions in our comparisons of the Roma fans. At Roma, I had six wonderful years, won the Scudetto and what will remain with me from the Roma fans as well as the Milan fans, is certainly a wonderful memory.

The time for salutes is here. I don't know if I'll play in Brazil. Sunday will be my last game, I don't know if the coach will play me or not, but I'll be ready for this important game, which will not only be my farewell game but an important game for Milan. Carlo Ancelotti can count on me. It won't be easy to salute the fans who've supported me in such a fantastic manner, I hope I haven't disappointed anyone. I will continue to support Milan.

In my career, I've won 32 titles, it's certainly very satisfying from a personal point of view as well as a professional point of view. This shows that my career has been a victorious one, I've won everything and can only be happy about that."

Here's what Serginho said:

"After the problems with my back that have lasted two years, I haven't been able to regain optimal form, and because of this I tihnk it's the right time to leave. I arrived in Milan in the summer of 1999 along with Gattuso and Shevchenko, I was 27 and I've spent 9 wonderful years here. I must thank the club and the fans for the fantastic way in which I have been welcome here. At Milan I was also able to find a bit of Brazil in Italy and that was wonderful.

In the last two years, I've suffered because my back prevented me from maintaining my fitness. I've tried everything without success. Today I'm 36, in the past I didn't have any problems, but I've decided to accept this one and to return home.

I'd like to thank Milan for what it's done in these 9 years, I've always done the most and dedicated myself to this jersey. Also Silvio Berlusconi has shown his esteem and this is immensely satisfying because it's not easy to please such a demanding person.

I came to Milan with the goal of completing a mission, and today that mission is complete and with much calmness I accept that my career is finished. Sunday will be a difficult moment for me because San Siro is my home and all the fans have always supported the group. Farewells are always difficult, but I am calm about what I've done and what I've created for this team. I leave calmly knowing that I've given 100% of my ability and today because I can no longer give 100%, the most intelligent decision is to leave."
