NORRKÖPING. Malmö FF was mixed on the pitch. Then the MFF management acted aside and showed the class of champion. Three new acquisitions, led by Mustafa Zeidan, were successful against IFK Norrköping.
Here is Michael Wagner’s five points from IFK Norrköping – Malmö FF.
1. Reboot after restart
Allsvenskan restarted on May 26, but there will be more restarts in July, considering how clubs prepare. The Allsvenskan medal fight is a real-world battle, but this year’s series will be determined in unusually large parts by how sporting directors perform.
So it was a restart at Idrottsparken when IFK Norrköping (and acting sporting director Tony Martinsson) played new acquisitions Laorent Shabani and Anton Eriksson right from the start. Arnor Sigurdsson did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy field. MFF has responded to all three new acquisitions (sporting director Andreas Jorgson) Joseph Sessay, Mustafa Zeidan and Sebi’s lawyer.
The motives for throwing the all-new varied: IFK Norrköping’s compulsion to get the best team together, MFF to rotate and rest the top eleven – at least up front – before continuing with the Champions League qualifiers.
In an entertaining context, sacked coach Rijkaard Norling has been standing as head coach of IFK Norrköping in the team’s official squad.
2. The dream start for the new MFF . acquisition trio
“A lot has happened in the last week,” Jonathan Levy said before kick-off at Discovery. Then he and the other players went out and basically took over the MFF’s new acquisitions.
Mahamé Siby, who was all over the place, started with the nightmare of a straight-to-the-gap pass on Totte Nyman, but then played with some blessing.
Ten minutes later, Sirius Zidane won a duel on his own half, and new acquisition fellow Sesay grabbed the ball on the go – and snatched it from everyone – and showed exactly the best quality he had been recruited for from Lecía Gdansk. Went away. The match was poorly cleared by Ekpolo and gave Mustafa Zidane a start he had only dreamed of. Högaborg’s product was beautifully positioned at 1-0 with his sensitive left foot.
Then Zidane continued to shine with so much fun playing with heel knuckles, chips and corner kicks that it was hard to believe he only trained for a little over a week with Malmö FF. It was instant chemistry. Off the right wing, Sesai has had three duels running so fast that I doubt MFF coach Milos Milojevic is right when he says Felix Pigmo is the fastest in the Scanians.
3…and come over gentlemen
What is Malmö FF without a top scorer? Both the profile and player type are poorer. It will come more to the current champions. If chief scout Ruben Assterhead, sporting director Andreas Jorgsson and sporting director Daniel Anderson identify and recruit the trio on the field against IFK Norrköping, they are also guaranteed to bring a top-tier striker and forward. 17 were scored before the match at Norrköping – of which four (4) away goals are simply too bad and could in the long run be what it costs to defend the title.
When was the last time Malmö FF owned an Allsvenskan shooting king? Correct answer: 2011, Matthias Ranigi.
So the demands of MFF fans and other neutral football fans go beyond the three new acquisitions so far. In particular with 600 million SEK in equity.
4. IFK Norrköping must find the basics
No, IFK Norrköping has not been fully played. But close. And, of course, Isaac Kizhi Theilin made the 2-0 score which Zidane played precisely, of course, from a perfect surface and undisturbed in his No. 10 turn. Zidane Zubrazucci.
Jonathan Levy got a free kick by Johan Dahlin to save a class where it could have been a match, but it was a few times closer to 3-0 than the reduction.
The new acquisitions of Laurent Chabani, he didn’t look like much, and Anton Ericsson, he was busy with Zidane and Sessay. Beijing really needs to deliver the quality and routine of Arnor Sigurdsson on the court. Of course, a new coach is needed as there is a delicate balance between new thinking – boya my pigments? – And the history of the connection of the red thread – Kim Helberg or Oscar Thorvaldson?
There is a peer union in the West that can serve as a deterrent example of how difficult it is to rise from a deeper mathematical and organizational stagnation.
5. It’s going to be an interesting story anyway
Sad for Allsvenskan that Malmö FF is on its way to championship format? Where do I bow to scouts in finding the right (after the match…) with new acquisitions from Sirius, Lycia Gdansk and Strasbourg?
It would take a lot of letters and characters here to explain the different steps of the European Games, as failures later in the qualifiers still lead to various team matches that will tear the MFF apart.
Last year, I wrote an article about how a Champions League match cost 15 Allsvenskan Points. They learned from him and from spring injuries. New acquisitions give Milos Milojevic additional opportunities for rotation.
This does not mean that Malmö FF will be rushing towards a gold medal in Sweden. Hammarby strengthens, Djurgården enjoys stability and luxury and Hekken, if convinced Alexander Geremjev to stay, could challenge all the way to his historic first gold in Sweden.
