Sven Goran Erikson: What Mathias Almeida wrote in his autobiography about Swedish coach

He had lived up close to Sven Goran Erikson, winning with him the Italian league with Lazio. What AEK’s autobiography had written about the great Swede, who left life on 26/08/2024 after a major battle with cancer. Matias Almeida had made a special reference to Sven Goran Erikson in his autobiography. The AEK coach had worked with the great Swede in their joint term in Lazio, which was accompanied by winning the 1999–2000 championship. Argentinos wrote apothetic words about the former coach, revealing how he had worked the Lazio Championship with the too many stars: “The Swede transmitted a terrifying calm and inner peace. He had 24 international players on the roster and he had everyone happy because we were playing two or three different events. He never raised his voice, worked with the ball in the exercises and stopped to correct the mistakes. He didn’t like possession football with the many passes, his system was simple. The goalkeeper gave it to Mihailovic and the Serb with a long shot was trying to find Vieri, Boksic or Salas, depending on the season, and we media claimed the second pass or rebound. Sometimes, when we got the rebound, we’d move the ball around a little bit, but he didn’t like to build the passes from behind. So he conquered the schudeto and entered the club’s history. He is very dear to the world.”
