• Left Siglufjörður(1500 inhabitants) when he was 15 years old to play with IA Akranes. Lived in a garage with a family. Decided to focus on the full back position after he damaged crusiate ligaments.
• ,,I never compared myself to the players i played with. Instead i played against imaginary players from all around the world.
• To be the best i had to train more and better than others. Not only more.“
Alfreð Finnbogason

The importance of Role models
Alfreð Finnbogason Heerenveen
„ A lot of people told me that i was not big enough or strong enough.
It only encouraged me more. Where i am today was only a distant dream when i was a teenager. I was never picked for the U17‘s or U19‘s but i was near it. At that time i needed to use my brain a lot to compete against others.
So i emphasized on being technical and quicker in my mind. So i could see what would happen next. Altough you are not the fastest on your feet you can still be step ahead.“
