Guthenberg. Djurgården turned around and won against Häcken in front of a large crowd away.
Now “flipping” Victor Edvardsen invites fans to fill up Tele2 Arena for the Europe meet with Rijeka.
– I expect a lot of support on Thursday, he says.
Djurgården is a team with a tailwind. Against Häcken on Sunday, the team secured their sixth straight win in Allsvenskan and on Thursday the new league leaders could also advance to the next round of the Europa League qualifiers.
Djurgården had a large following in Croatia as well as in Gothenburg and now he wants it Victor Edwardson That fans fill Tele2 for the rematch against Rijeka.
– There were 1,500 animal keepers in Croatia and what is this day? 3000 maybe. It’s very magical, and now I’m expecting a lot of support on Thursday as well, he says.
Edvardsen is getting started in earnest after the summer break. In Rijeka, he was responsible for goals and assists, and was playing against Haken until Emmanuel Banda’s 1-1 goal.
I will watch it for as long as possible.
In total, there have been six goals and five assists so far in Allsvenskan.
However, among Animal Farm’s many supporters, he is now called “Floppen,” which Edvardsen happily embraces.
We’ve got a buzz we’ll watch for as long as we can, that flipping doesn’t do the trick. But I clearly show that I got through with running, goals and assists. In my first European match, I’ll go 1+1, so we’ll watch this for as long as it lasts, says Edwardsen with a big smile.
Who called you to flop?
– You can read it in all the forums.
So this is the new nickname?
– Yes, we’re going for it.
Djurgarden beat Rijeka 2-1 and are now in good shape for Thursday’s comeback, which is broadcast by Sportbladet.
Rijeka is a good team. They have outstanding players who have played in the best leagues in the world. We got a good result from there. Now it’s all about eating, sleeping and recharging for Rijeka’s match. Edvardsen says it will be very fun to be on Tele2 again.
