Gudjohnsen forced to wait

Icelandic hit-man Eidur Gudjohnsen is happy to wait for his chance to star in the first team at Barcelona.

He said: "When I signed, I knew I was coming to a great team - the reigning champions of Spain and Europe. Here there are great players, and to get into the first XI is difficult for any footballer who has newly arrived.

"But I will wait for my opportunity and, when it comes, I will be ready. I believe that in the minutes I have played, everything has gone well.

"Really, I am enjoying being with this team, and can say that it is fantastic to be able to play alongside the best players in the world.

"I am very well in this city, where everything makes me feel welcome.

"Each morning, when I rise, I do it with a smile on my face, and when I return to my house, I have that same smile."

He added: "I do not believe there is much difference between playing at Chelsea or at Barcelona,"

"In my opinion, Rijkaard and Mourinho are two trainers with a concept of the game that is quite similar, although Rijkaard is more relaxed and Mourinho shouts and moves more, because he is more expressive."
