Martin Wicklin, presenter of the Sunday show ‘P1’ in Sweden, was surprised when Sven-Göran Eriksson He told her in the middle of the interview that he was suffering from cancer and, above all, he had a year to live. The journalist was not prepared for the answer that the former coach of England gave him: “How are you?” Wicklin asked him innocently. From there, the bomb came.
“I was stunned,” admitted the presenter to ‘Aftonbladet’, remembering that everyone knew he was in poor health for a year but no one expected the illness to be so serious. “When the interview begins… The initial plan we had was to simply rule out that he would talk to us about something serious, but everything ended differently.”
Wicklin and his producer prepared to do an interview about his career and life. They wanted to address the issue of health problems, but they didn’t expect ‘Svennis’ to have anything to say. “I don’t know why he chose to tell everything, maybe he felt confident at that moment. Then I asked him about it and he said that there are a lot of people who wonder what he has.”
Wicklin admires Eriksson’s optimism: “He was always optimistic, even when he was a coach. This suffering, which is the hardest, most difficult that a person can have, he faced calmly and with a good outlook on life. I hope that Now that he said it, he felt everyone’s appreciation for him.”
