MIKAEL LUSTIG can’t wait to get going in the World Cup for his country and he wants to hit the ground running.
Sweden will have to wait until Monday before their campaign kicks off against South Korea and Mikael is looking forward to seeing a familiar face on the opposition side.
“We have South Korea in the first game so that will be a big game for us,” Lustig told the Celtic official website.
“We need to make sure that we don’t lose it or the pressure will really be on when we face Germany.
“I’ll see Ki Sung Yueng again in the South Korea game. I played alongside him here at Celtic before he headed down south so it will be nice to see him again. I haven’t spoken to him since he left but he’s a really good guy and a good footballer as well.”
Sweden are in a particularly competitive group which also has Mexico in it as well as the aforementioned Germany and Korea.
It will be up to Lustig and his countrymen to rise to the challenge.
