The national team star ends his career

The national team star ends his career

Sebastian Andersson33, ends his professional football career. Andersson’s career has contained powerful moments, but unfortunately it has been lined with many injuries.

“It’s been time for a while”

In an interview with The football channel he opens up on the decision to end his career:

– I’ve really put it down a while ago. It’s been time for a while. It has been a lot of injuries, a lot of wear and I have not really been able to move as I wanted. It was fun in many ways in Nuremberg, but after that I felt that it was basically over. Now the decision is made.

He goes on to tell about the thinking:

– I have received some offers in recent months, but I have not had the craving and did not want to move from the family. There have been many factors that have recorded. The feeling has been the same, that I don’t want to play anymore. It is a long period that I have known that, but I have not really wanted to close the door, as football has been a big part of life. But I have to do it now.

“Working in football is a natural step”

What is waiting for Andersson is not yet clear.

– I’ve started playing a little paddle and training a bit. Then I try to figure out what I want to do and feel some stuff, but everything must take its time. Working in football is a natural step, but right now there will be some more things that have nothing to do with football to get some perspective. Then I will probably be naturally drawn to football eventually.
