Me and a lot of my team-mates still think and speak about the World Cup in 1994, when Sweden finished third.
The first World Cup I followed was Sweden 1958. I watched the games on TV. Brazil won that World Cup by defeating Sweden 5-2 in the Final and Pele scored twice.
I have my way of doing things, because I am that way, I try to raise my voice to motivate team-mates and make them aware that if they lose a ball it is not a problem, so I try to motivate my team-mates and to speak to them and, because I see the game from the back I see everything in front of me; communication on the field can help a lot.
I try to speak with my team-mates a lot because I need them everyday.
I absolutely think I have the ability to be a world-class athlete and make a team. But even if I never make another world championship team or Olympic team, I think there are so many things I can say about the sport that can really excite me and bring me a lot of motivation in the day to day.
I think my best friends are my team-mates in Davis Cup. We have been growing up together since we were 11 or 12.
People talk about me, and that's good, but a lot of it has been down to how my team-mates have supported me.
Sweden is still a very peaceful country to live in. I think that people in Britain have created this mythology about Sweden, that it's a perfect democratic society full of erotically charged girls.
There are teams spending a lot of money and buying top players from all over the world but it is not about money - it is about your team-mates.
You have to think for your team-mates and give them positive response. Whatever happens as a captain you have to take the responsibility. Backing my team-mates and supporting them was the biggest learning.
I couldn't have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn't control my tears of joy.
The only thing I think about is helping the team, respecting all my team-mates, not being selfish.
In football, I've always been about adapting to what's asked of me, to what my team-mates need from me. I'm a team player.
To be honest, the football and the time is going so fast. I don't want to say that I've forgotten about the World Cup, but for me, it belongs to the past. I don't have time to make a step backwards and think about the World Cup.
I speak five languages, which actually makes it easier when you join a new team. You can settle much quicker because you can help team-mates much faster and better. People need to be careful around me, though - I can understand everything.
Of course, I enjoy assisting my team-mates because playing no.10 is the position you have to serve your team-mates.
I am the sort of player that likes to create goals. I think a lot of my team-mates know me as a player who is not selfish.
