It is “fun” to be praised by Pep Guardiola

Lucas Bergval says that receiving praise from Manchester Pep Guardiola is an enjoyable experience.

The young Tottenham midfielder won the admiration of the Spanish coach after his impressive presentation against City in late February, despite Spears’s decrease to a 1-0 defeat at home.

While Tottenham holds a frustrating evening, Bergval’s performance in the midfield has emerged as a highlight of the AnglyCoglou team.

His influence on the game caught the attention of Guardiola, who spoke greatly about the Swedish international at his press conference after the match.

Guardiola said: “Bergval, every time he owns the ball and escapes, cannot be stopped,” Guardiola said.

“Spence, Pedo Porro, Udogie, Kulusevski, Son.

Currently on international service with Sweden, Bergval was asked about Guardiola’s statements and participated in his view of receiving this appreciation.

“Of course, it is fun, but in the big picture it really doesn’t matter,” SVT Sport told SVT Sport. “I just try to play football and develop all the time and help the team.

Despite Tottenham’s struggles this season, as the club was sitting in the fourteenth place in the Premier League, Bergval and his young colleague Archchi Gray made some optimism.

Postecoglou was forced to move in a season suffering from injuries, and Bergvall believes that the conditions were especially difficult for some players.

“I don’t think it is a fair season to be honest.

On the international theater, Bergvall made four matches of Sweden but has not started yet.

However, this will change soon, as national team coach John Dal Thomason confirmed that he will be in the friendly starting lineup in Sweden against Luxembourg.

“It is fun, but it is not something that I thought a lot,” said Bergval. “John and I spoke a little but nothing more specifically, we will do it during the days here.
