The last few years have involved great contributions from Hampus Wanne.

As recently as January, he was named the World Cup's best left winger and since then he has continued to impress.

Wanne has scored goals for the German big team Flensburg and was awarded in May with the award for player of the year in Swedish handball.

- Now I think I have met a level that is very high and I am very happy about that, Wanne says to SVT Sport.

However, the 27-year-old has had to fight to reach the level he holds today.

"It was a fight"

- The 92-litter was very, very good.

Then I got to be there and I was born 93. Then they took very big steps in Sweden and I did not do it in the same way.

Then Ljubomir Vranjes (then coach in Flensburg) saw something in me and chose to invest in me in Flensburg.

The first three years there were no glamor, it was a struggle.

Then all of a sudden you were in one of the best teams in the world and I was still a little boy.

- What "Ljubo" taught me was to be persistent and believe in myself.

It has given me an amazing amount and it feels like it takes a lot to upset me.

Had any doubts that you would really be here?

- Yes of course.

Three years is still a lot of matches.

I always had the attitude that I would never give up and I did not intend to lose the fight.

I bit together and when I got the chance I had decided to take it.

Maybe I became an arrogant little kid there when I demanded time to play.

- The new coach Maik (Machulla) has also given me a lot of confidence in the last five years and I have played basically every match.

"Got help from the old big edge"

Wanne feels that he has now found a routine and a way of thinking that works. At the same time, he wants to continue to develop.

- I have invested a lot in my penalty shootout and received help from the old big man Lars Christiansen who is sports director down in Flensburg.

On Wednesday, Sportbladet wrote that the national team star is ready for Barcelona, ​​which he has been rumored to for a long time.

SVT Sport also experiences that an assignment in the Spanish big club will soon be waiting for the national team star.

- You will not get any comment about that, neither from me nor Hampus, says the player's agent Martin Klette to SVT Sport.
