Caroline seger is about to dor history in Europe, where she is close to becoming the player with more internationals If you play for your Sweden today (6:30 p.m.) against Norway and next Tuesday, June 15 (6:45 p.m.), against Australia. Both parties will be his 214th and 215th participation with your selection, something that only Birgit Prinz (Germany) and Therese Sjogran (Sweden) have achieved, with 214 appearances for both.
In this way, Seger has in his hand to overcome the record of both players, already retired, and lead the list of footballers with the most games played in Europe alone and actively. It should be remembered that Sjogran was Seger's mentor in midfield in his early years with the national team and is now the sporting director of his club, FC Rosengard, as well as his best friend.
“The fact that the person who holds the record is now my best friend means, as you can imagine, we've joked about it many times. But honestly, It is not something I have focused on until recently. Reaching 200 was a big thing for me, and doing well in tournaments is always the most important thing of all, “Seger said in an interview published by FIFA.
The veteran player continued to emphasize that she really wants to break this record that makes her historic. “When you get close to a record, you want to make sure you pulverize it and don't end up falling short. It's a great achievement and now what I want is to see my name above Therese's at the top of that list! (laughs) It will be fine and clear that I am proud to do a little history. But I'm not going to settle for the record. I think I need to continue a few more years to increase that number and Make sure they don't get me off the top right away! (laughs), “Seger said.
