Larsson feeling strong

Henrik Larsson says age is no barrier as the 34-year-old prepares to spearhead Sweden's attack in Germany this summer. The World Cup is likely to be Larsson's last major tournament and some have suggested that the striker's best days are behind him.

Larsson claims he does not consider himself in the veteran stage of his career and feels he will prove the point this summer.

"I feel good and have no problems with my age," Larsson said on Tuesday. "I'm not quite 35 yet so I don't think I'm really that old.

"I don't have any problem with my age. It's more the other people here who think about my age.

"I feel good and it's no problem for me."

Larsson has left Barcelona to head to his native land with Helsingborgs and he has no regrets over the decision.

"It's purely a decision that we took as a family," said Larsson. "We're going home. I want to enjoy the last years I have playing football in Sweden."
