Temporary Arsenal manager, Freddie Ljungberg has come out to say that he has stolen ideas from ex-coach, Sven-Goran Eriksson as he presently tries to make Arsenal better on the pitch.
He believes Eriksson is intelligent and also disclosed he had several discussions with him when he was England manager.
Freddie added that he is yet to chat with Arsene Wenger because of his tight schedule at the club since he took over from Emery.
His words, “Sven is intelligent, I spoke to him a lot when he was the manager of England because he was watching our games,”
“I know in the past, some stories of how he treated players and how he made them feel good and things like that. I have stolen a little bit of those ideas. He’s a great coach. It’s been a long time and I hope I can speak to him soon.”
“I don’t know why that is,” the former winger added when asked why there has been a lack of Swedish coaches in the Premier League. “I think there are a lot of great Swedish coaches. Of course, it’s an honour and it feels special.
“I lived here for a long time now and I’ve just being trying to work as hard as I can to get a chance and they gave me a chance. At the same time, I don’t think it matters where you’re from, I just try to do a job.”
On Wenger, “I would really like to speak to him. I’m in contact with him but I haven’t spoken to him yet because it’s been a bit hectic. But it’s on my list to do so.”
