Massimo Luongo, the 32-year-old English Premier League midfielder, has made a surprising return to the Australian national team, donning the Socceroos’ green and gold jersey once more. The news comes as a boost to the team’s chances in the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against China and Japan.
Tony Popovic, the new coach, revealed that Luongo was named in the latest squad after the midfielder voluntarily put his hand up to represent Australia again. Popovic dismissed suggestions that a “sales pitch” was needed to encourage Luongo to come out of international retirement, stating that the midfielder’s decision was solely his own.
Luongo’s decision to revive his international career is a significant development for the Socceroos, who will be relying on his experience and talent in the upcoming qualifying matches. At 32, Luongo has regained his spot in the national team, giving fans hope that he can make a meaningful contribution to the team’s quest for World Cup glory.
With Popovic’s guidance and the reintroduction of Luongo to the fold, the Socceroos’ fortunes seem to be on the upswing. As the team prepares to take on China and Japan, fans will be eagerly anticipating Luongo’s return to international action.
