FREDERIKSBERG, denmark (Ekstra Bladet): Ragnar Sigurdsson could well have chosen a place where the money was better. The 33-year-old icelandic could have also chosen a club that was ready with a longer contract.
But this time chose Sigurdsson clever of damage to ignore its internal bank representative.
instead, he let the heart choose, and the icelandic heart has pounded hard for FC Copenhagen since he fell in love with the club and in the Danish capital at the beginning of the 10's.
As he in 2014 left the FCK, it was with the words that he wanted to come back one day. The dream has now come true, but Sigurdsson regret that it has not happened before.

already in the summer of 2017 attempted Stale Solbakken to persuade him, but then brought the purse to him to the Russian football ...
- It is a decision I have regretted ever since. It is something that I have thought over 1000 times, and there were many things in it. Fulham would have that I switched to Kazan, for it would give them more money.
- I also got more money, so it was a difficult situation. Often it's all about the money, but I do and have thought a lot about it, said Ragnar Sigurdsson after his first day of training back in the familiar surroundings.
- I would really like it. I have been a long time in Russia, and it is a slightly different culture. I would like to to something I know well, said Ragnar Sigurdsson after his first workout back in FCK. Photo: Jonas Olufson
He had terminated his contract with the Russian Rostov just before the turn of the year, and Stale Solbakken had already last year said that there was a contract of six months and waited, if he would.
It was not, however, a contract which economically could compete with some of the other offerings, as the experienced icelandic landsholdsstopper had on hand.
But with Nicklas There's departure there was after all some air in the budget, and Sigurdsson chose to follow with the heart of Copenhagen.

- I knew that I would return, and when they decided that they would it, it was a very easy decision.
- But you could probably also have selected something with more money this time?
- Yes, I could. There is always some opportunities, but I don't want to talk about money. Now, I hope that it goes well for me here and also goes well for FCK, so everybody is happy.
In its first period in the FCK he got a special relationship with the club's fans, and he has ’S12’ tattooed on the upper body. He loved to play for the copenhageners and loved the Danish capital.
Ragnar Sigurdsson has for several years had an apartment in Copenhagen, but it will not be the one as he moves into.
- It is rented out, so I have to find another apartment that I can rent, said with a laugh from Sigurdsson, who both from Russia and England have followed good with how it has gone to FC Copenhagen:
- The first few years I was on the site all the time because I missed it. So I was more used to it, but the last few years I have followed very with again, even though it has been difficult to watch the matches.

In Russian Rostov, he was the captain and was obvious to the team. There was no great competition, but it is in copenhagen, where Sigurdsson, Bjelland, Papagiannopoulos and Nelsson must share the only two seats in the partnered at the back between themselves.
- It is a big club with big competition. It becomes something than in Rostov, and I have to really work hard to get a space, said Sigurdsson, who saw and say a bit like Nicklas Bendtner is on trial at FC Copenhagen.
the Contract will expire after this season, but it stands to the two, must the marriage with hjerteklubben like to be longer:
- This is what I bet on.
