Freddie Ljungberg has been one of the most prominent Arsenal players for a long time. Despite the fact he has been officially retired for 3 years, Swedish bookmakers still believe that he is going to come back to the Big Game. And they have reasons for that. After successfully playing for nine years at Arsenal FC and then going on to play for other international teams, Freddie Ljungberg has announced his retirement in 2012. Naturally, that was not a good news for football clubs which were counting to sign him – just after the player quitted from the Japanese club Shimizu S-Pulse.

To the fans’ delight, after not so long time Freddie’s name appeared in the newspapers again. In May 2013 he was announced the official ambassador of Sweden’s Arsenal. While that was not exactly the news Freddie’s fans wanted to see, at least that meant he is not going to leave football completely.

However, Freddie’s supporters were again defeated by the news of his marriage next year. In June 2014 the magazines around the world trumpeted about 37-year-old Freddie Ljungberg marrying beautiful 26-year-old Natalie Foster, a daughter of the London taxi tycoon. After all, why should one continue playing football when they have such a wonderful young wife?

Actually, it was only one month that Freddie lived the “ordinary” family life. In July the same year he was already signed by Mumbai City FC which turned out to be a real revelation among both Freddie’s and Indian fans. The former were happy to see him back on the field while the latter were more than proud to have this strong international player engaged in their football team.

All that could be a happy ending of the story, however, it didn’t take long for Freddie Ljungberg to quit. After only four games played, he decided to end the contract and return to his home in London.

What is he going to do next? Apart from shooting for Calvin Klein’s underwear or representing Puma and Pepsi, Fredrik still can make another unpredictable twist and come back to playing football. After all, the man who has been successfully playing professional football from 14 years cannot just quit and fully forget about his passion. Freddie’s admirers still hope that he will think everything over once again and come back to the field – at least to let those enthusiastic bookmakers to have more confidence in their stakes.
