    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Bergvall only joined Spurs in the summer, after turning down a move to Barcelona, and has gone on to make 38 appearances in all competitions for Ange Postecoglou's side. The teenager is now with the Sweden squad on international duty where he's been quizzed on Guardiola's comments.

  • WHAT BERGVALL SAID

    He told : "Of course it’s fun, but in the big picture it doesn’t really matter. I just try to play football and develop all the time and help the team. It’s always fun to get praise and you should take it in. But I try not to put too much emphasis on it."
