"They will do everything to try and beat us'

Football

With owners who are pumping money into the club to be Sven-Goran Eriksson, 63, bring back to Leicester City football parlor.

VF-sport training legend tells why he turned down premier league stars, the relationship with the owners and why they will go up this year.

- I think we have a much better chance next season than we had last said Torsby Son.

FACTS

• Sven-Goran Eriksson on ...

... What a day looks like.

- It's very much to do now that the transfer window is open. The call agents constantly looking to make money. Then when the series started up and the transfer window closed, it becomes a bit easier.

... To be in Sweden, and Uppsala.

- Uppsala seems very nice. I've been here and played football for a long time ago with KB Karlskoga. But it seems fine to walk and the plan was really good.

... That the English tabloid News of the World put down.

- I do not mind it at all. They have not been particularly friendly, but it is in England, says he is well aware that he probably belongs to the crowd who had been bugged.

- I would guess it. Who knows? But probably I've been there.

UPPSALA (VF's posted) Calling Sven-Goran Eriksson, 63 years old feels wrong. But to call him 63 years young, feels much more appropriate. Although it is 34 years since he began his managerial career in Degerfors's hunger is still there. Similarly, the glow in his eyes when he and the other ledarstaben leads training session in the Students' IP for a further pre-season.

Yet ask a little guy Vermlander after the pass ...

• Are you retired?

- Ha, ha. No, but I may look like one. But I may not have as much time left.

Though despite the merit list includes both Swedish and Portuguese and Italian championship titles, there is one thing, "Eriksson" never done: He has never led a club up in the top division.

Last year was his Leicester a while and challenged at the top but then fell back when they only won two out of eleven matches. Now, "Eriksson" learned its lesson.

- The reason that we went to play off and was promoted was that we had for the young and inexperienced players who have never played in the league before. For many of them, he says.

It is with these thoughts in mind, we enlisted the players are now recruited, finally Matthew Mills from Reading for BY RUMOR 5.5 million pounds.

- We have brought in many players, and above all experienced players. It's the big difference from last year. I hope it will get better.

• Any solicitation you are particularly satisfied with?

- They look good all of us that we have set. We'll see after Sweden and Austria tour how good they are.

Leicester is in Sweden to play Sthlm Football Trophy which is against Mallorca and Vasalund but before then expect a friendly game against Sirius on Tuesday evening.

- They will do everything to try and beat us, I'm convinced. But I look forward to the match, especially when we have new players and you'll see how they work. I was going to play a team in the morning and one on Thursday. But we have some flaws so we'll see who starts, but I was going to give them new, so many minutes they can manage, smiling Värmland.

Six new acquisitions are already completed and more are notoriously entering. National teams qualified Englishman Michael Ball is having to Sweden and the sample plays while the South African center-back Tsepo Masilela underwent medical examinations in Stockholm on Monday.

But even then "Svennis" satisfied. Two other players rumored is injured Owen Hargreaves who was released by Manchester United recently. But the rumor he fades down.

- First, I do not think he is really quite yet. I know he is up in Canada and working out. Then if he would feel fully fit I think he wants a little higher. He is not the old guy.

The more interested he is in the Bristol City striker Nicky Maynard.

- I would love to have him. He is one of those on our list. But so far is the price that they demand too high. But he wants to us.

Swedish players have been relevant, but so far no one held up.

- We have some on our list that could be interesting but I'm not sure. It's such a tough league. We had some Swedish guys to the test game in the winter but I do not think they were good enough, and then it was still premier players. The standard is so high in the Championship.

• You have acquired quite healthy in recent weeks. How free rein do you have?

- I do not have free rein. I suggest players and then get the owners to decide if they are willing to pay that amount. I really have no budget but it is case by case basis.

Thai owners Vichai Raksriaksorn said to be good for 180 million dollars and makes a very ambitious and serious effort at Leicester. Opposite of what 'Svennis' experiences with the somewhat mad Thaksin Shinawatra at Manchester City.

- Yes, yes. These things have been so very, very good for the club all the time. There is money behind, and their goal is only one, and it is going up in the Premier League.

- And so far they have been fantastic, not only for me but for the club in general. We are in and based on the Training Centre now, all plans are on there and the stadium. So they invest a lot of money, not just the players but to really make the club better.

• It seems like a pretty wise investment?

- Yes, they wanted the top of the Premier League and they want to stay there. It is the goal. And they will succeed, I'm convinced.

• How confident are you that you are the manager who will "succeed" with them?

- You can not be certain in football. But I think we have a better chance - a much better chance - next season than we had last.

• What do you see as the biggest competitors?

- If you look at the size of the clubs in our league, you have West Ham are a big club, Birmingham as well. From below comes Southampton who are a big club. So it will be tough and a more difficult league than it was last year.

• But you see you as one of the favorites?

- I think in general that there are many who do it anyway.

• Is it urgent?

- No, it's very good, says "Eriksson" and cracking up in her characteristic smile.

As long as Maynard wants to us it will be fine.... in all seriousness though if he does want to play for LCFC he needs to hand in a transfer request, I understand he may not want to upset the BCFC fans but staying quiet is helping nobody! I really like the fact Sven admits bringing in all the young prem loaness last season isnt the formula to get out of the champ and more to the point he is doing something about it in signing quality champ players.

"But he wants to us", in regards to Maynard interesting that little bit unless it was lost in translation

Yeah If there is a Swedish speaker they could translate better, but I should think that Sven says that NM wants to come?

That is exactly what he says. "he (Maynard) wants to come to us."

[thybluefox]

Interesting. As far as I know Sven never comments on players like that, and it seems pretty unprofessional if he has said that.

[B52]

Sven doesn't think Hargreaves is ready, fit, to play yet.

Regarding the comment on Maynard. Maynard can say the same to ten different clubs.

"• Is it urgent?

- No, it's very good, says "Eriksson" and cracking up in her characteristic smile"

Translatorprograms...

Do you feel the pressure? - Is a more appropriate translation and it was a lot of theese "translationproblems" in the article through Google.

True, but in smaller interviews in Swedish I would expect him to be a bit more open. Sounds like NM would be happy to come to us which is promising, just need to wait and see now I guess.
