Swedish 18-year-old rising star Belivar will officially join Tottenham this summer. He accepted an interview with Tottenham and team reporter gold.
At the reception of Djurgarden Club, Berivar first signed autographs and took photos for a group of excited young fans, and then smiled and accepted the offer to conduct the interview in English. He said: "I am very happy to do this interview. I need to practice My English."
Feelings about recent games
Maybe they are trying to target me more now but it's not a big problem, it's not that they do it too much and the Premier League doesn't do it less. There will be much more. It's the best league in the world, so that's probably good for me!
On receiving a text message from Son Heung-min after signing his contract with Tottenham
This is crazy. I'm from Sweden! He is one of the best players in the Premier League, a real legend and he texted me after I signed. It was really sweet of him to do it while he was at the Asian Cup and I think it was a big deal for him because he was so busy. He wrote to me and made me feel very comfortable and was a really nice guy.
About the frequent games recently
We have had a lot of games in recent weeks, so I think it was a good decision for the coaches to take me off.
On returning to Bromma Pokana
They were my boyhood club. It’s really fun to come back here and do well. Really happy.
How life has been since signing for Spurs
It's a lot to deal with, especially in the last few weeks when you're preparing for the trip to England but also playing a lot of games. It's really hard, but that's okay. I think I've gotten over it and now I have three races left and I'm really happy to be in it.
I'm trying to do the best I can for the fans and the team. I have three games left, so I try to put all my energy here and try to be at my best so that I can channel Tottenham in good form.
Then I'll have another preseason. This is double pre-season for me! In Sweden, you have three to four months of pre-season from January to April before the league starts. So I'll have another preseason, but I won't complain! I can't complain!
Regarding Spurs they will make sure he gets the rest he needs and he will have a short break before joining the team
Spurs have done a great job with this and given me a few extra days to rest if I I can take a break if I need to, but I think I have two or three weeks off, so that's good, I'm going on vacation with my family and my girlfriend. I will take a break after the Hammarby game and then maybe 10 days of international duty before starting training with Tottenham on July 1, so I will take a break first.
But it's okay, I like it. I love football, but I wanted to take a mental break to recharge. It will be a very exciting new season with a lot of good impressions to make on a lot of new people, so I have to be mentally prepared.
On the conversation with Postkoglu
This conversation was very good. He is a very honest and kind person. We talked a lot, he was very happy, and I was very happy of course. Really good. .
I like to keep the ball at my feet and make a lot of runs. I play in midfield, but I can come out wide and receive the ball, but we haven’t discussed that much yet. I wish I could be a midfielder!
About fellow countryman Kulusevsky
He is also from Bromma Pokana. Same club! I've met him a few times and he's a very nice and kind man. I talked to him and he said if I had any questions I could come to him.
His time at Tottenham was great. He talked a lot about the club, which is at the beginning of a new era, with Postkoglu as the new coach, and they are trying to build something. They wanted me to be part of the process, so he spoke about the club and their goals for the next few years.
Levi is not a terrible negotiator
Yes, but so am I.
Regarding Postkoglu’s recent angry remarks
I’ve been watching a lot of games.I watched the last game against Manchester City and they played very well but it was difficult at times. I saw he was angry and I read it was all about Arsenal. I agree with him, I think you should always try to win every game like he said.
What Tottenham fans can expect from you
A very hard working lad who wants to push the ball forward and score goals, fight for the team and Postkoglu.
After saying this, he left. Bergvall put his hand on the reporter's shoulder and said with a smile: "See you in the preseason!"
