Eriksson ready to blossom again: Melancholy last fall – Göteborgs-Posten

From given in the starting line to the stuck on the bench. Last season developed in the wrong way for Sebastian Eriksson. Now he’s ready to blossom again.

– I think it’s fun to play football again, he said.

Sebastian Eriksson returned home from Serie A and Cagliari last season. Then it was over 30 appearances for the injured midfielder – most of them from the start. Something he had not experienced since the 2010 season.

– It really feels better and better every match. I start looking back more and more to my game, says Eriksson.

Back on Comrade farm last season, it was a given start location along with Gustav Svensson Jörgen Lennartsson’s midfield. In late summer, were picked Mads Albaek in and sent Sebastian Eriksson right out of the starting line and at a fixed place on the bench.

– It was a little sad in the fall … I checked a little too much back in the rearview mirror and thought of what had happened. Now I am looking forward to the season coming. I’m glad that I’m fit and healthy and can play. It may go better than last year and I’m starting to get back to myself, he says, and goes on.

– Then it’s clear that I knew it would be tough. There will be a reaction when you play so many matches. Then I’m satisfied regardless of the performance was a bit up and down. It was an important season for me in many ways.

Now, Gustav Svensson out of the picture since the move to China and is now expected to Sebastian Eriksson take place in central midfield with just Mads Albaek.

– It feels good, we are well trained and are very good in phase. Then, I hope it becomes more and more football now in the preseason, Eriksson says with a smile.

During the preseason, it has become much playing time for Eriksson, who also begins to take a little more place in the team. That he is hungry for revenge, no further secret.

– It will be fun once it starts! I do not

think it’s just me who is really psyched on the season. We really stumbled at the finish line last year, but now we start with basically the same team. You start to notice how everything sits and I think we will grow even more during the season.

But the match against Frey is a must game?

– There will be. We have to win and have a little knife against the throat. But I’m not worried, we created so much last game and I’m sure we’ll do it again. This time we will definitely score more than one goal.
