Martin Olof Lorentzson, born 21 July 1984, is a Swedish footballer who currently plays for Örebro SK. He has one international cap for Sweden, although it was awarded in an appearance in the 2013 King's Cup, and as such is not recognised as a full international by FIFA.
Career
Lorentzson started his professional football career in Norrköping with IK Sleipner. In 2007 he left Sleipner and joined Södertälje side Assyriska Föreningen.
In the summer of 2009, AIK, Swedish champions of 2009, announced that Lorentzson will join them in 2010. Lorentzson enjoyed a successful career at AIK and was fan favourite known as 'Lorenzo' and 'The Swedish Zanetti'. He was also vice captain in his final season. In October 2014 AIK announced that they were not extending Lorentzson's contract even though he himself wanted to stay.[2]
Lorentzson made his debut for Coventry City on the 30th January 2016 against Scunthorpe at the Ricoh Arena. At the conclusion of the season, the Sky Blues announced that he would not be retained upon the conclusion of his contract. [3]
Style of play
Lorentzson is known for his pace, stamina, crossing and aerial prowess from set pieces. [2] During match against Malmo in 2011 he broke the Allsvenskan's all-time record of kilometres covered in a game. In his earlier career whilst playing for Assyriska Föreningen he operated as a right-forward and right wing back and he has played in the centre back and defensive midfield positions for AIK. The latter being a position he expressed a desire to adapt his game to as he gets older.
