Freddie joy at Emirates return

Fredrik Ljungberg has admitted returning to The Emirates with Sweden is a nice feeling.

Ljungberg gave sterling service to Arsenal during a nine-year stint in North London, before leaving The Gunners for West Ham last summer.

The midfielder spent the majority of his Arsenal career at Highbury, but played one season at The Emirates and he admits it was nice to meet up with some familiar faces in training ahead of Sweden’s clash with Brazil.

”It is a nice feeling to be back, seeing familiar faces, and I had a good chat before training with the physios,” Ljungberg said on Setanta Sports News. “It is special.

“We were back here before the Northern Ireland game, but it is nice.”

Setanta readers' comment of the day

“Quote: 'History recognises the winners, so if you take someone who won the Champions League 20 years ago and ask them who their opponent was, they don't remember." ' Really? Anyone remember with affection the German side that won the World Cup in 1974? They had one gifted player - Beckenbaur (spelling?) the rest were just a good team playing well for each other. The Germans are like Chelsea, they bludgeon their way to finals and trophies but no-one remembers the attractive footbal because there isn't any. Anyone remember the Dutch team that won nothing that year? Cruyff et.al. They were the stars of the tournament with their total football, they are the team that people remember because of the football they played. They are the team that people hold with affection because watching football played with artistry is pleasing and lifts the spirit. Arsenal are more like Brazil. They play attractive football, but don't win everything. Sometimes they do. Arsenal will win again.”
