Martin Jorgensen is now 33-years-old, but he believes he still has plenty to give to both club and country.
According to the newspaperNuovo Corriere di Firenze, the versatile Dane has spoken out about his future.
“I was told I was not ready to come back to the national side,” he began, “But then the coach saw me play against Inter and changed his tune.
“It would be incredible to play the third World Cup of my career, but whatever happens it is fantastic to be here and to see that things are back as they once were.”
Jorgensen, who plays in midfield for his club, but is often used as a striker by his country, has come back after a long injury, and is clearly glad to be playing once more.
It was feared that he might not be able to play at the top level again, but Martin is proving his doubters and critics wrong.
When the Viola played Palermo, Danish boss Morten Olsen, said Jorgensen was clearly not in a condition to be able to deal with the rigour of international games, but much to the Fiorentina player’s delight, cap number 86 now seems on the cards and perhaps goal number 13 for his country as well.
