Manchester United player Eriksen recently gave a clear answer to the question of whether he is considering retirement in a media interview. He said that at present, his physical state and game state are very good, there is absolutely no intention to retire.
Eriksson said in the interview, "In terms of my body and match fitness, I feel very good. Initially when I first joined the national team, I had very little playing time and people said it would be a problem, but now there are people who say I might be getting too much playing time. This is actually a side effect of the fact that my form is gradually picking up." He further emphasized that being able to play consecutive games is very important for him, not only does it help him get back in form, but it also allows him to maintain the pace and feel of the game. Now, he has been able to adapt to the rhythm of playing one game every three days.
Speaking about his age, Eriksson said that he doesn't feel like a 32 year old and doesn't have any sense of impending retirement. He mentioned that perhaps because he is 32, outsiders may feel that he is nearing the end of his career, but he believes that this is sometimes a misconception. Eriksson emphasized that age is just a number and is sometimes more misleading than a player's actual status. When considering a player, it is important to take into account factors such as his type and position, which are all very important.
He added: "Although you have soccer experience, if you still have speed, agility and running ability, I don't think there is really much difference between 32 and 29. Age is not the only factor that determines whether a player can continue to play football or not, it's more about his physical condition and athleticism."
