In an interview with R-Sport correspondent Nikolai Ryazantsev, he shared his impressions of his debut in the team, told which players he was equal to and expressed his readiness to compete for a place in the main squad of the “red-blue” in the near future.
- Carlos, I congratulate you on your debut with CSKA, are you satisfied with how you played this half (CSKA beat Danish Aalborg 4: 2)?
I am very glad that the coach believed in me and allowed me to spend 45 minutes on the field, I think that I could have played better, but the main thing is that the coach trusts me. The game was difficult, but our team showed themselves on a good side, we realized our chances, so everything turned out well.
At the end of the match, you had a good moment when you hit the goalkeeper with your right foot, can we say that your left kick is much stronger?
Yes, of course, but still, I think if I were in better shape, I would have distinguished myself in that moment. So far, preparations are still underway for the resumption of the season, so it will be better in the future.
- You have already spent several days with the team, share your first impressions.
The team received me well, everyone is very friendly, they treat the young players very well, there are a lot of them at the training camp. So everything is fine.
- Surely your compatriot Pontus Wernbloom took patronage over you?
Yes, of course, he has been in the team for three years and knows everything about how things work here and helps me.
Until the age of 12, played in two positions: goalkeeper and striker
- Tell us a little about how your football career began?
He started playing football at the age of six, played for a small Swedish club (Bakka) until the age of 16, after which he moved to Hecken, where he spent two years. And now I am here and grateful for being in such a good club.
- Did you do any other sports as a child?
Yes, as a child I also played handball and bandy. Basically, of course, handball, because all my friends were doing it, and it was a fun time. Most often he played as a goalkeeper or line player.
- Have you tried on the role of a goalkeeper in football?
Yes, when I was little, I don't know why, but I liked to stand at the goal, so as a child I combined two positions at once - goalkeeper and striker. At the age of 11-12, I still had to choose, and that's how I became a forward.
You have only spent one season in the elite Swedish division, and you are ready to fight for a place in starting lineup CSKA?
Of course, I think that I am ready for this challenge, otherwise I would not be here. I think that moving to CSKA will make me stronger as a football player. The team plays in the Champions League, is the best team in Russia, so this is an ideal step in my career.
- What are your strengths on the football field?
I play well with my head and like to run behind the backs of the defenders.
- Leading striker Seydou Doumbia has recently left the team, so you can hardly avoid comparison with him, what can you say about his performance?
Doumbia played very well for CSKA, he is a great striker, so this is a serious comparison. But, as I said, I am ready to do everything possible to deserve a place in the main squad, and I will give all my strength for this.
At some point, Borussia Dortmund showed interest in you, were you upset that you could not get there?
The transition then fell through due to a small detail on the basis of a medical examination, nothing serious. Of course, at that time I was disappointed, but this is already in the past, and I do not think about it.
In football, I have two idols: Samuel Eto and Henrik Larsen
Kim Chelström, who now plays for Spartak Moscow, has also played for your former Hecken club, is he still a big star in Gothenburg?
Yes, of course he plays for the national team, he is a great player and role model for Swedish footballers.
- Do you already know who is CSKA's most fundamental rival in the domestic arena?
- "Spartak" Moscow (smiles).
In Russia, there are several footballers from the Swedish national team, in this regard, the Swedes are watching the Russian Premier League?
Of course, many people watch matches of foreign championships, including the Russian one. The Swedes love football and watch a lot of matches.
- Do you have any idols among football players whom you can consider as role models?
Yes, there are two of them: Samuel Eto and Henrik Larsson. Henrik was a fantastic striker who was always in the right place on the field, and he not only scored goals, but also had a great passing control.
Did you watch the 1994 World Cup matches when Larsson started his career with the national team and helped the team win bronze medals?
Yes, I watched their matches on videotape. When we were at the youth world championship in Dubai two years ago (the Swedes also won bronze at it), we were shown a lot of matches, and in particular them.
- Do you think that team is better than the current one with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the same Chelstrem and other stars?
Oh, this is a difficult question, I cannot answer it.
In March, the Swedish U19 national team will play against Russia, Belgium and Lithuania in the elite round of the European Championship qualifying round. How do you assess your chances to play in these matches and Sweden's chances of winning?
There is very serious competition in the Swedish national team now, we have at least four excellent strikers, including Alibek (Aliyev), so it will not be easy. We came across a difficult group, so it will not be easy with anyone, and we will have to give all our strength to win.
Swedes are very fond of snus, but I don't use tobacco
Pontus Wernbloom recently posted a photo of a minibar full of snus (chewing tobacco) packages on his Instagram account, and do you have any bad habits?
No, I do not use tobacco in any form, I carry healthy image life. But, in principle, there is nothing like that in this, in Sweden a lot of people use snus.
- Instagram is very popular among Russian footballers, do you use it yourself?
Yes, I do, just on arrival here I got myself a page, so while I'm new to this business.
- How do you prefer to spend your free time?
Depends on what I was doing, after training I just like to relax and watch some movies.
- Will you live alone in Moscow?
At first, yes, if it is difficult, then let's see what can be done.

Sergio Carlos Strandberg(Swede. Sergio Carlos Strandberg; genus. April 14, Gothenburg) is a Swedish footballer of Mozambican origin, striker of the Moscow club CSKA and the Swedish youth team.
Club career
Career in Sweden
Carlos grew up in the dysfunctional Bakke district of Gothoborg, his father is Swede and his mother is Mozambic. From the age of six, Carlos played football at the football school in his city. In 2005, his club was merged with Hisingstad in Hissingsbakku, where the player continued his path to big football. At the age of fifteen, Carlos made his debut for Hissingsbakku in the fifth Swedish division.
CSKA (Moscow)
In 2014, the almost completed deal on the transfer of Carlos to Borussia Dortmund fell through.
On February 2, 2015, he signed a contract with Moscow CSKA for a period of 5 years, the transfer amount was $ 500 thousand. He made his debut for CSKA on March 14, 2015 in the match against Mordovia (4: 0). He scored his first goal for CSKA on March 21, 2015, in an away game against Arsenal Tula in the 88th minute of the match. On April 5, in an away game against Zenit, Carlos, replacing Zoran Tosic in the 71st minute, scored a goal from Alexei Berezutsky's pass in the 81st minute of the match, but could not save his team from defeat with a score of 1: 2. Per good game PFC CSKA fans named Carlos Strandberg the best player in the team in April.
On August 21, 2015, he moved to Ural on a leasehold basis until the end of 2015. For the Ural club, the player almost did not play, only coming out as a substitute, and therefore the club did not renew his lease. On March 31, 2016 it was rented by the Swedish club AIK until the summer of 2016.
Sweden squad
Carlos played for the youth teams of his country, won bronze medal World Youth Championship 2013.
Play style
In addition to size, Carlos's advantages include sharpness and technical equipment. Leonid Slutskiy noted that one of his main qualities is speed and work with the ball, and also compared him with Dame N'Doye. Carlos himself describes himself as a classic striker. He possesses the ability to correctly choose a position, and due to the work of the corps - which is also part of Carlos's arsenal - the Swede is easily freed from his guardians. Able to accurately punch in one touch even on an inconveniently flying ball or strike from under tight guardianship. Strandberg is left-handed. Also, Carlos is good at playing along and is always ready to give a pass to his partner who is in the best position. Dribbling is not Strandberg's strongest weapon, although it is present. When playing one-on-one, Carlos prefers to act at the expense of speed and his texture, pushing his opponent.

Notes (edit)
Excerpt from Strandberg, Carlos
- With my baby, - was the answer.Her name was Veronica. And, as it turned out, this sad and so beautiful woman died of cancer almost a year ago, when she was only thirty years old, and her little six-year-old daughter, who thought that her mother had abandoned her, did not want to forgive her and is still very deeply suffered from it. Veronica's son was too young when she died and did not understand that his mother would never come back ... and that for the night now he will always be laid by strangers, and some stranger will sing his beloved lullaby ... But he was still too young and had no idea how much pain such a cruel loss could bring. But with his six-year-old sister, things were completely different ... That is why this sweet woman could not calm down and just leave, while her little daughter was so unchildly and deeply suffering ...
- How can I find her? I asked.
"I'll take you," whispered the answer.
Only then did I suddenly notice that when she moved, her body easily seeped through furniture and other solid objects, as if it were woven from dense fog ... I asked if it was difficult for her to be here? She said yes, because it was high time for her to leave ... I also asked, was it scary to die? She said that dying is not scary, it is more scary to watch those you leave behind, because you still want to tell them so much, and, unfortunately, nothing can be changed ... I was very sorry for her, so sweet but helpless, and so unhappy ... And I really wanted to help her, only I, unfortunately, did not know - how?
The next day, I calmly returned home from my friend, with whom we usually played the piano together (since I did not have mine at that time). Suddenly, feeling some strange inner jolt, I, for no reason at all, turned in the opposite direction and walked along a completely unfamiliar street ... I did not walk long until I stopped at a very pleasant house, completely surrounded by a flower garden. There, inside the courtyard, on a small playground, a sad, completely tiny girl was sitting. She looked more like a miniature doll than a living child. Only this "doll" for some reason was infinitely sad ... She sat completely motionless and looked indifferent to everything, as if at that moment the world around her simply did not exist for her.
- Her name is Alina, - a familiar voice rustled inside me, - please talk to her ...
I went to the gate and tried to open it. The feeling was not pleasant - as if I was forcibly breaking into someone's life without asking permission. But then I thought about how unhappy poor Veronica must have been and decided to take the risk. The little girl raised her huge, sky-blue eyes to me and I saw that they were filled with such a deep longing that this tiny child simply should not have. I approached her very carefully, afraid to frighten her away, but the girl was not going to be frightened at all, she just looked at me in surprise, as if asking what I needed from her.
I sat down with her on the edge of a wooden partition and asked why she was so sad. She did not answer for a long time, and then finally whispered through her tears:
- My mother left me, and I love her so much ... I guess I was very bad and now she will not come back.
I got lost. And what could I tell her? How to explain? I felt that Veronica was with me. Her pain literally twisted me into a hard burning painful lump and burned so hard that it became hard to breathe. I so wanted to help both of them that I decided - come what may, but without trying, I will not leave. I hugged the girl by her fragile shoulders, and said as softly as possible:
- Your mother loves you more than anything in the world, Alina, and she asked me to tell you that she never left you.
- So she lives with you now? - the little girl bristled.
- No. She lives where neither I nor you can go. Her earthly life here with us has ended, and now she lives in another, very beautiful world, from which she can observe you. But she sees how you suffer, and cannot leave here. And here she can no longer stay longer either. Therefore, she needs your help. Would you like to help her?
- How do you know all this? Why is she talking to you ?!
I felt that she still didn’t believe me and didn’t want to recognize me as a friend. And I just could not think of how to explain to this little, crumpled, unhappy girl that there is “another”, distant world, from which, unfortunately, there is no return here. And that her beloved mother speaks to me not because she has a choice, but because I was just “lucky” to be a little “different” than everyone else ...
“All people are different, Alinushka,” I began. - Some have a talent for drawing, others for singing, but I have such a special talent for talking with those who have left our world with you forever. And your mother speaks to me not at all because she likes me, but because I heard her when no one else could hear her. And I am very glad that I can help her in some way. She loves you very much and suffers very much because she had to leave ... It hurts her very much to leave you, but this is not her choice. Do you remember she was sick for a long time? - the girl nodded. - It was this disease that made her leave you. And now she must go into her new world, in which she will live. And for this she must be sure that you know how much she loves you.
The girl looked at me sadly and quietly asked:
- She now lives with the angels? .. Dad told me that now she lives in a place where everything is like on postcards that they give me for Christmas. And there are such beautiful winged angels ... Why didn't she take me with her? ..
- Because you have to live your life here, honey, and then you, too, will go to the same world where your mother is now.
The girl beamed.
- So I'll see her there? She murmured happily.
- Of course, Alinushka. Therefore, you should be just a patient girl and help your mother now if you love her so much.
- What should I do? The baby asked very seriously.
“Just think of her and remember her because she sees you. And if you don’t feel sad, your mom will finally find peace.
- She still sees me? - asked the girl and her lips began to treacherously twitch.
- Yes Dear.
She fell silent for a moment, as if gathering inside, and then tightly clenched her fists and whispered softly:
- I will be very good, dear mommy ... you go ... go please ... I love you so much! ..
Tears in large peas rolled down her pale cheeks, but her face was very serious and focused ... For the first time, life inflicted its cruel blow on her and it seemed as if this small, so deeply wounded, girl suddenly realized something for herself in a completely adult way and now tried to take it seriously and openly. My heart was breaking with pity for these two unfortunate and so cute creatures, but, unfortunately, I couldn't help them anymore ... The world around them was so incredibly bright and beautiful, but for both it could no longer be their common world. ..
Life is sometimes very cruel, and we never know what is the meaning of the pain or loss prepared for us. Apparently, it is true that without loss it is impossible to comprehend what, by right or by a happy coincidence, fate gives us. Only now, what could this unfortunate little girl, cringing like a wounded animal, comprehend when the world suddenly fell upon her with all its cruelty and pain of the most terrible loss in life? ..
I sat with them for a long time and tried my best to help both of them find at least some kind of peace of mind. I remembered my grandfather and the terrible pain that his death brought me ... How scary it must have been for this fragile, unprotected baby to lose the most precious thing in the world - her mother? ..
We never think that those who, for one reason or another, are robbed of us by fate, experience the consequences of their death much deeper than we do. We feel the pain of loss and suffer (sometimes even angry) that they left us so mercilessly. But, what is it like for them when their suffering is multiplied thousands of times, seeing how we suffer from this ?! And how helpless should a person feel, not being able to say anything more or change anything? ..
I would give a lot then to find at least some opportunity to warn people about this. But, unfortunately, I did not have such an opportunity ... Therefore, after the sad visit of Veronica, I began to look forward to when I could help someone else. And life, as it always happened, was not long in coming.
Entities came to me day and night, young and old, male and female, and everyone asked me to help them talk to their daughter, son, husband, wife, father, mother, sister ... I felt that I had no more strength. I did not know that when I came into contact with them, I had to close my (besides, very strong!) Protection, and not open up emotionally, like a waterfall, gradually giving them all my life force, which then, to unfortunately I didn't know how to replenish.

Notes (edit)
Excerpt from Strandberg, Carlos
And Natasha ran down the corridor.Sonya, shaking off the fluff and hiding the verses in her bosom, to the neck with protruding chest bones, with light, cheerful steps, with a flushed face, ran after Natasha down the corridor into the sofa. At the request of the guests, the young people sang the Klyuch quartet, which everyone liked very much; then Nikolai sang the song he had learned again.
On a pleasant night, in the moonlight,
Imagine happily
That there is someone else in the world
Who thinks about you too!
That she too, with a beautiful hand,
Wandering along the golden harp,
With its passionate harmony
Calls to himself, calls you!
Another day, two, and paradise will come ...
But oh! your friend will not live!
And he had not finished his last words when the youth in the hall got ready to dance and in the choirs the musicians began to pound and cough.
Pierre was sitting in the drawing-room, where Shinshin, as with a visitor from abroad, started a political conversation with him, boring for Pierre, which was joined by others. When the music began to play, Natasha entered the living room and, going straight to Pierre, laughing and blushing, said:
- Mom told me to ask you to dance.
- I am afraid to confuse the figures, - said Pierre, - but if you want to be my teacher ...
And he extended his thick hand, lowering it low, to the thin girl.
While the couples were settling and the musicians were building, Pierre sat down with his little lady. Natasha was perfectly happy; she danced with a big one, with someone who came from abroad. She sat in full view of everyone and talked to him like a big one. She had a fan in her hand, which a young lady had given her to hold. And, assuming the most secular pose (God knows where and when she learned this), fanning herself and smiling through the fan, she spoke to her gentleman.
- What is, what is? Look, look, ”said the old countess, walking across the hall and pointing at Natasha.
Natasha blushed and laughed.
- Well, what are you, mom? Well, what kind of hunt are you? What's so surprising about that?
In the middle of the third Ecossaise, chairs moved in the drawing room, where the Count and Marya Dmitrievna were playing, and most of the honored guests and old people, stretching after a long sitting and stuffing their wallets and purses into their pockets, went out the doors of the hall. In front was Marya Dmitrievna with the Count, both with cheerful faces. The count, with playful politeness, as in ballet, extended his rounded hand to Marya Dmitrievna. He straightened up, and his face lit up with a particularly valiantly sly smile, and as soon as the last figure of the Ecossaise was danced, he clapped his hands to the musicians and shouted to the choirs, addressing the first violin:
- Semyon! Do you know Danila Kupor?
It was the earl's favorite dance, danced by him in his youth. (Danilo Kupor was actually one figure of the Angles.)
“Look at dad,” Natasha shouted to the whole hall (completely forgetting that she was dancing with a big one), bending her curly head to her knees and bursting into her ringing laughter throughout the hall.
Indeed, everything that was in the hall with a smile of joy looked at the cheerful old man who, next to his dignified lady, Marya Dmitrievna, who was taller than him, rounded his arms, shaking them in time, straightened his shoulders, twisted his legs, tapping lightly, and more and more dissolving smile on his round face prepared the audience for what would happen. As soon as the cheerful, provocative sounds of Danila Kupor were heard, similar to a merry bashing, all the doors of the hall suddenly became male on one side, on the other - female courtyard smiling faces, who came out to look at the merry master.
- Father is ours! Eagle! The nanny said loudly from one door.
The count danced well and knew it, but his lady did not know how and did not want to dance well. Her huge body stood straight with her powerful arms lowered down (she handed the reticule to the countess); only one stern but beautiful face danced. What was expressed in the whole round figure of the count, in Marya Dmitrievna was expressed only in a more and more smiling face and a twitching nose. But on the other hand, if the count, more and more diverging, captivated the audience with the unexpectedness of dexterous twists and light jumps of his soft legs, Marya Dmitrievna, with the slightest zeal when moving her shoulders or rounding her arms in turns and tapping, made no less impression of merit, which everyone appreciated when her obesity and everlasting severity. The dance became more and more animated. The vis-a-vis could not even for a minute draw attention to themselves and did not even try to do so. Everything was occupied by the count and Marya Dmitrievna. Natasha tugged at the sleeves and dresses of all those present, who already did not take their eyes off the dancers, and demanded that they look at papa. In the intervals of the dance, the count took a deep breath, waved and shouted to the musicians to play as soon as possible. Rather, sooner and sooner, less, less and less, the count unfolded, now on tiptoe, now on heels, rushing around Marya Dmitrievna and, finally, turning his lady to her place, made the last step, lifting his soft leg up from behind, bending his sweating head with a smiling face and waving his right hand roundly amid the roar of applause and laughter, especially Natasha. Both dancers stopped, gasping for breath and wiping themselves with cambric handkerchiefs.
“That's how they danced in our time, ma chere,” said the count.
- Oh yes Danila Kupor! Said Marya Dmitrievna, releasing her breath heavily and for a long time and rolling up her sleeves.
While the Rostovs were dancing in the hall of the sixth angles to the sounds of fatigue of fake musicians, and tired waiters and cooks were preparing dinner, Count Bezukhim was struck sixth. The doctors announced that there was no hope of recovery; the patient was given a deaf confession and communion; they were making preparations for unction, and there was a bustle and anxiety of expectation in the house, which are common at such moments. Outside the house, outside the gates, undertakers crowded, hiding from approaching carriages, waiting for a rich order for the count's funeral. The commander-in-chief of Moscow, who incessantly sent aides-de-camp to learn about the count's position, himself came that evening to say goodbye to the famous Catherine grandee, Count Bezukhim.
The magnificent reception room was full. Everyone stood up respectfully when the commander-in-chief, after spending about half an hour alone with the patient, left there, slightly responding to bows and trying to pass by the gazes of doctors, clergy and relatives as soon as possible. Prince Vasily, who had grown thin and pale during these days, accompanied the commander-in-chief and repeated something quietly to him several times.
After seeing the commander-in-chief, Prince Vasily sat down in the hall alone on a chair, throwing his legs high over the legs, resting his elbow on his knee and closing his eyes with his hand. After sitting for a while, he got up and with unusually hasty steps, looking around with frightened eyes, went through a long corridor to the back half of the house, to the eldest princess.
Those who were in the dimly lit room in uneven whispers talked among themselves and fell silent every time and with eyes full of questioning and expectation looked back at the door that led to the dying man's chambers and made a faint sound when someone left it or entered it.
- The human limit, - said the old man, the clergyman, to the lady who sat down to him and naively listened to him, - the limit is set, you will not pass it.
- I think, is it too late to unleash? - adding the spiritual title, the lady asked, as if she had no opinion on this matter.
“A great sacrament, mother,” answered the clergyman, running his hand over his bald head, along which lay several strands of combed, half-gray hair.
- Who is this? was the commander in chief himself? - asked at the other end of the room. - What a youthful! ...
- And the seventh decade! What, they say, the count will not know? Did you want to unleash?
- I knew one thing: I had unction seven times.
The second princess just left the patient's room with tear-stained eyes and sat down beside Dr. Lorrain, who was sitting in a graceful pose under the portrait of Catherine, leaning his elbows on the table.
“Tres beau,” said the doctor, answering a question about the weather, “tres beau, princesse, et puis, a Moscou on se croit a la campagne. [beautiful weather, princess, and then Moscow looks so much like a village.]
"N" est ce pas? [Isn't that so?] - said the princess, sighing. - So can he drink?
Lorrain considered.
- Did he take the medicine?
- Yes.
The doctor looked at the Breguet.
- Take a glass of boiled water and put une pincee (he showed with his thin fingers what une pincee means) de cremortartari ... [a pinch of cremortartar ...]
- Don't drink, listen, - said the German doctor to the adjutant, - that the shiv remained with the third blow.
- And what a fresh man he was! - said the adjutant. - And who will this wealth go to? He added in a whisper.
“There will be a performer,” the German answered, smiling.
Everyone looked back at the door: it creaked, and the second princess, having made the drink shown by Lorrain, carried it to the patient. The German doctor went up to Lorrain.
- Still, maybe it will reach tomorrow morning? Asked the German, speaking badly in French.
Lorrain pursed his lips and waved his finger sternly and negatively in front of his nose.
“Tonight, not later,” he said quietly, with a decent smile of complacency in the fact that he clearly knows how to understand and express the patient's position, and walked away.
Meanwhile, Prince Vasily opened the door to the princess's room.
The room was half dark; only two lamps burned in front of the images, and they smelled good of incense and flowers. The whole room was set with small furniture, wardrobes, cupboards, tables. Behind the screens were the white bedspreads of the high down bed. The dog barked.
