It was a meeting

Now they have that session, Jean Palau confirms.
We sat down and held a media meeting. On how Djurgården operates as an association and how we can better support Hedvig. It’s rather what we had, it wasn’t an extension call, but how we can support our players, he says.
We want to be there and be there for the players. They are our main ambassadors and they have to make sure we are represented on the pitch. Of course we make sure to help them off the field.
“I hope you learned something”
She told Expressen that her statement did not go well. Are you holding on to it today?
– What was said then and there… We had a media meeting and we’re trying somewhere to target the future and make sure there are good matches. We have Eskilstuna away on Sunday and the fans will come with us there, and we were able to get a bus together. I think it would be a good support for the team to reverse that trend we’ve been in.
Do you see any danger of a possible pro campaign against Hedvig or do you think it will settle down?
– I don’t know what I have to be there…somewhere we want her to do well, Hedwig. This is still Sweden’s best goalkeeper, according to Djorgaard’s captains. So we hope to work forward.
However, do you think it will work?
We hope we learned something from this situation.
