In an interview, Manchester United midfielder Sven-Goran Eriksson talked about his current form, saying that he does not feel like a 32-year-old player, nor does he feel like ending his career.
Eriksson said: "Physically and from a football point of view, I am fine, the last time I went into the international break, I played very little and some people said it was a problem, now I probably play too much. It's great for me to get consistent minutes and keep the rhythm so I can play every three days again."
"I don't feel like a 32-year-old, I don't feel like I'm finished yet. But it's because I'm 32 that people think from the outside that you might be done playing, and I think that's sometimes a bit of a misunderstanding. A lot of times the number doesn't reflect the player."
"I think it is very important that you think about the type of player, the position played and so on. You have experience and if you still have speed, agility, good running ability, then I don't think there's a big difference between 32 and 29."
