On Tuesday, Zlatan Ibrahimovic won the Gold Ball for the twelfth time.
In connection with receiving the award, he did an interview with Aftonbladet and then told that he misses the national team and opened for a comeback.
- I had answered "Give me time, I will think about it".
But it must come from him.
Because if he thinks I'm a distraction - then I'm not interested.
If he thinks I can contribute something - then I will think about it, Zlatan told Aftonbladet.
"I'm happy"
Federation captain Janne Andersson replied that it "feels natural that we have some form of contact in the future".
Then he acted.
Yesterday, Janne Andersson and the union's general secretary Håkan Sjöstrand traveled to Milan to meet Zlatan.
- When Zlatan opened up for games in the national team, it felt natural and important to meet and discuss this as soon as possible.
I am glad that we managed to get a meeting so quickly, Andersson says to svenskfotboll.se.
- The meeting was very good and rewarding, and we agree to continue the dialogue going forward, says the league captain.
The Swedish men's national team will meet again in March 2021.
