“Is a great compliment”

Now Samba Sam.

– The fans replaced Allbäck against my name. It is a great compliment. Only do not think I’ll do 25 goals as he did …

How reviewing your premiere?

– Well, I could have played a little better football, I made a few technical mistakes. But it’s hard to whine with the start. Some features I invited on, but there is more Sam Larsson to give the audience. It takes time to get used to the gameplay. This team prioritizes a bit more of the ball than my previous club. I think that will suit me very well when I get into it. I will get the ball higher up the pitch.

How do you celebrate?

– Right now I and lounging on my half-worn hotel room in front of heavy TV: n, but we’re going out for a walk around town … village (Heerenveen has 28 000 inhabitants). It gets quiet. Tomorrow (Sunday) I’m going to Amsterdam and meet Sanaa. Nice to have this start with him then … says Sam Larsson.

Heerenveen victory is the first for the season after a loss and a draw in the introduction. It also meant a dream start for Sam Larsson and a nice neutral for Swedish goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt.
