>> The dream of the legendary coach came true, who said that he has not much left to live – He will sit on the Liverpool bench

Liverpool Legends – Ajax Legends 4-2 – Bohdan Lobon scored four goals

Former England coach Sven Goran Eriksson announced two months ago that he had been diagnosed with cancer and had just a year to live.

The Swede’s biggest regret after an impressive career is that he never managed Liverpool, the team he loved from his youth.

His dream came true on Saturday when he sat on the bench for the Cormorants in the game between Liverpool legends and Ajax Amsterdam.

At the break, Ajax led 2:0 after goals by Berrigter and Mustapa, and in the second half, the “Ulans” sent Bohdan Lobonets into the goal.

The former Romania international was powerless in the face of Anfield’s attacks, conceding four goals from Gregory Vignal, Djibril Cisse, Nabil El Jar and Fernando Torres.
