Zlatan Ibrahimovic breaks down im tears during press conference after his return to Swedish national team after 5 years

Zlatan Ibrahimovic broke down into tears during a press conference on duty with Sweden as he returns to the national team five years after retiring.

Recall that the 39-year-old called time on his international career after Euro 2016. 

But he has made a u turn after five and He is now in line to feature in the qualifiers against Georgia, Kosovo and Estonia this week.

While speaking to the media on Monday he broke down in tears as he admitted his 12-year-old son was upset that he was going away.

"Vincent cried when I left him," Ibrahimovic said."To play in the national team is the biggest thing you can do as a football player, and as I was following them (Sweden), inside me I was feeling I think I can help them, I think I can do something," he said.

The forward has two sons with partner Helena Seger – with Maximilian two years older than his brother Vincent.

Ibrahimovic added: "Obviously it's not up to me, what a player wants and what a coach wants, it has to go together.

"I've got the opportunity now to play for my country and I do it with honour, but it's not only about that – it sounds like I'm only happy to be here, but I'm here to get results, to bring results for the coach and my team-mates and the whole country.

"As much as I talk here, if I don't bring results, here it means nothing."
