AftonBladet (March 17, 2002)

Foppa abolishes other laws. But he weighs heaviest in the hockey world at the moment. He said a few well chosen words to Selänne a few times after the slashing. But after the finishing signal they talked for a long time, very friendly. Foppa forgives, Also. Peter and Freddie - Now they rule the athletic world. You don't even have to be a true and true Swede to think that.

The MONEY

Foppa: Has an abundance of money. His latest contract with Colorado gives him over $10,000,000 USD in one year. He chose to give up many millions when he last fall stayed home in Örnsköldsvik instead of returning to Colorado and remain on the paylist. Is building a golfcourse home in Övik for $4,200,000 USD.

Freddie: Has alot of money. Signed a five year contract with Arsenal, worth 4 million dollars a year, running up to 2006. He also has the contract with Nike, that gives him big bucks.

FAME

Foppa: Doesn't like the limelight. Is a shining star in Colorado and has to accept that he is always noticed. Something he doesn't always enjoy. Like the peace and quiet home in Övik.

Freddie: Doesn't like the limelight. A rather shy person, who rarely gives long interviews and is unwilling to let media up close and personal. Deals with celebrity with a shy style.

The DOO

Foppa: When it comes to hair, most of the issues has been about Foppas facial hair - the beard. Often he lets his hair grow, both on the head and in the face. Seems to go for a scruffy style, wether it is consious or unconsious.

Freddie: Kid Vicious is a fashion lion and goes in hard for his hair doo. A red streak across his scull has been copied by many Arsenal fans. Earlier he had a clean shaven head but now he has let his hair grow.

The INJURIES

Foppa: Concussions and Bloodshed. Injured left shoulder and bruised all of his back. Strained his groin, injured elbow and injured feet and at the tip of the injure list a ruptured spleen. Foppas career has been lined with injuries and he has missed almost 200 games in eight seasons in NHL.

Freddie: Straines and small injuies is an everyday event for Ljungberg. Thehard football in Premier League has been tough on our Swedish ball magician. At present he has trouble with his injured back. It was an injured ligament that prohibited Ljungberg from attending a Handball camp as a fifteen year old and made him choose soccer instead.

The BABES

Foppa: "It is a bit comme si comme sa, at present", Foppa said in an interview in 'sportbladet' (Swedish mag) a month ago, when asked if he was still single. Earlier he has had a three year relationship with american Koli Chapel.

Freddie: VERY quiet on his personal life. Has not shown himself in public with a girlfriend.

IMPORTANCE FOR THE TEAM

Foppa: Is a given key player. Is given alot of time on the ice in Colorado and is both a worker and a scorer for the team. The clubs biggest profile.

Freddie: Has earlier been a joker in a starfilled Arsenal. Has during this years season grown to become a key player and a scorer.

POPULARITY

Foppa: Loved by the fans, both in Colorado and home in Sweden and Örnsköldsvik. A fighter who gives a lot for the team and because of that much loved.

Freddie: Loved in Arsenal, but at home in Sweden the feelings are mixed. Hasn't performed as well in the national team as in the club, but if success comes in the world championships he will be just as popular here in Sweden as he is in the North of London
