Girona. Seriously returning to the national team after an absence of four years.
But a return to Allsvenskan risks delaying for Markus Rohden, 31.
– I want to go out as long as possible. Maybe I can say that.
It was a little surprise that he came back and was named to the national team squad. Then I got Marcus Rodin Also started against Mexico – also scored (goal 1-0 in a 2-1 win).
I scored on my international debut against Ivory Coast during the January tour (2015). Since then there’s been a little drought… for 10 years, he says after his second goal with the national team.
The former Elfsborg player who was established in the national team until the World Cup and fall 2018 is in his seventh season in Italy, now in Serie B with Frosinone.
– When we left the Italian League, I disappeared a little from the national team.
Italian World Cup champions Fabio Grosso lifted Samuel Gustafsson to new heights during his time as Verona coach.
Now the same Grosso is about to do the same for Marcos Rodin at Frosinone by putting the former midfielder on the right wing – the same position he was in for Sweden against Mexico.
Our coach tested Grosso a bit in pre-season. I have deep impressions and can be behind the opponents’ defence. He wants me to be a little bit higher up the field instead of down the middle.
His contract with Frosinone expires in the summer.
Elfsborg has attracted many returnees.
– There was little talk. We’ll see what happens.
what do you answer
– That is, first of all, I have six months left in Frosinone. Then we’ll see in the summer what happens.
How often does Elfsborg manager Stefan Andersson call everyone now?
– It happens that he calls … (Laughter) You probably got an SMS from him now, Marcus Rudin says.
How do you feel, do you want to stay abroad or is it tempting to go home to Allsvenskan?
– but you want to get out as long as possible. I must say that. But I also look forward to the day when you can go home to Elfsborg and play there with your friends. But when that happens, we’ll see, says Marcus Rudin.
