He was a person who was with me throughout my entire time in Sävehof's A-team, he was always there with a smile on his lips. A good guy, says a moved Karlsson in the mixed zone after the victory in Paris.
Right-back, since last year in French Montpellier, is one of several players among the blue-yellow handball masters who have a past in the Partille club.
Karlsson and "Jonte" (Carlsbogård) gave each other a pretty long hug yesterday, says Karlsson, who sent his thoughts to Berg's family.
It's tough, but I know he was sitting up there today and looking down at this match and shouting "damn, what great guys".
Sweden defeated Spain with 29–26 – a big step in the right direction after the opening loss to Germany.
We know how good we can be at handball and we got out parts of it today anyway, says Karlsson.
The defense game is working very well and offensively I also think we're doing well. When it's time to decide, we run and are bloody clinical in the finishes.
Sweden meets Slovenia next on Wednesday.
