This sparked the interest of the Dutch club Feyenoord. Who paid Henrik a fee of 295,000 pounds. Henrik Larsson’s position on the field is a Right Midfielder, and a Central Midfielder. Henrik subsequently decided to retire from the Swedish international football in 2006 after scoring 36 goals in 93 appearances for his country.

Everyone felt miserable, for they wanted Henrik to return to the team for their campaign at the 2004 European Championships in Portugal. Despite the fact that President Lennart Johannsen UEFA and the Swedish Prime Minister have told Larsson that they need him back on the team. Now that the President Lennart Johannsen UEFA and the Swedish Prime Minister have said that, Henrik could not refuse. So he eventually returned to his team, scoring 3 goals in three matches, which lead Sweden to the quarterfinals. Sadly, Portugal defeated Sweden in a penalty kick by the Dutch.
