Still Unsure of the Future: ‘I Didn’t Talk to Jean’
the lion. Martin Olson was thinking about the future of his national team.
Then it was suddenly taken again.
– I didn’t think Janne would take me out, says the 34-year-old.
Jan Anderson She’s always been weak to Martin Olson He always pulled the left-back when he was available.
But just as at the last meeting in June, Olson often had to say no because of the injury, and not because of the often minor injury.
At the end of June, Sportbladet spoke with Olsson about the future in the national team, if he is ready to invest more towards EC 2024 when there was no toilet in Qatar.
– You’re always eager to wear this shirt, but it’s a good period until the next tournament. Now I have time to think, he said, so we’ll see.
“I am happy to join”
On Wednesday, the surprise Olsson was named to the national team again.
– I thought I would have some time to decide how to do it, he says after losing to Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League.
Should it continue or not?
– exactly.
But you never asked the question?
– it is what it is. I am happy to join. It’s a fun thing.
Are you surprised?
– I didn’t think he would take me out. We played a lot of matches, so I didn’t have time to think about the national team. But now I’ve been called, which is fun.
I got the message from Beijmo
Did you know the selection was on Wednesday?
– He usually does that on Tuesdays. Then I saw that it wasn’t every now and then, and I didn’t know what day it would be.
How did you know you were selected?
Felix (Bigmo) said ‘Congratulations’ on the flight when we landed here in Belgium. I asked “for what”. He replied, “The national team.”
Jan has always wanted to be with you, right?
– yes. But there were some minor injuries that made me refuse. Once I played under Yan’s leadership, I also played piano. He knows where he is with me.
Do you aspire to the European Championship 2024 now?
We’ll take this group first and then we’ll see, says Olson.
