Guthenberg. For midfielder Philippa Cormark, 26, it was a very difficult period.
BK Häcken lost two matches and lost ground in the Battle of Gold at the same time that the midfielder was left out of the European Championship squad.
– You have to fix yourself after such messages, she says.
BK Hacken Thursday’s training was devoted to the press match before the Hamrabi match.
Large elements of the competition were also included during the Hisingssolen burn.
BK Häcken has lost two games in a row at home against Eskilstuna and Vittsjö, and needs to reverse. Friday’s match will be played away from home against Hammarby, in the last round before the European Championship break.
The purpose of the training was to show a little bit of the winning instinct and the will to score goals, says Philippa Cormark.
Hammarby can feel it?
I hope they feel excited about having one last good game before we go on vacation, says the midfielder.
She points out that it is easy to play football in the tailwind.
For the 26-year-old, the recent period has also been difficult on a personal level.
When national team captain Peter Gerhardsson presented his European Championship squad last Tuesday, Philippa Cormark’s name was not included.
‘Tough week’
The next day, BK Häcken lost to Eskilstuna and everything felt black.
Now, a little over a week later, she is ready to talk about her feelings.
– She’s been in your head all year and you fought hard for her. You should always wish you were a part of these things. It wasn’t something I expected, but it was clear that I had high hopes of being there.
How was the week?
– It’s obviously been a tough week for me. You had to accept the feelings inside you. I can see what I can influence, and now he’s a good player and captain for my team, BK Häcken.
Peter Gerhardsson heard from him two days after the selection. Filippa Curmark appreciated the call and is now back at home.
– We talked, it wasn’t more than that. He was asked if you were ready to jump in. I’m ready if the door opens.
Did you get an explanation for the decision?
– I don’t want to go into it directly, but we had a good conversation. It was about what he was thinking and wondering how I took it and how I felt. It’s always good to get an answer and have a conversation. I think it’s important for you to be able to break down and come back.
To divert emotions, to elevate the gaze, Filippa Curmark will do things she knows she feels good about.
– I will go home to my family, spend time with them and continue to go there, she says and points out:
You have to think about what you can do to feel good and not just lie and die. But it clearly takes on us, we are people with emotions. Being a part of this thing is what you are passionate about.
