Malmo / Stockholm. Emma Berglund is not allowed to play the Series Final against Linköping.
Paken was in tears after beating Häcken – and faces a yellow card.
– I can’t buy it, it bothers me very much, to put it mildly, says Berglund.
Emma Berglund He received the captain’s armband from injured Caroline Seeger and had a nice evening with Rosengard as the team defeated Haken. But despite winning 2-0 and reclaiming the top spot, Emma Berglund wasn’t just happy.
When Berglund arrives at Sportbladet after the match, it is the situation from the 57th minute of the match that rages on.
Shall we start discussing your warning?
– Yes, we would be glad to do that.
“I can’t buy it”
Emma Berglund’s answer comes quickly and bets before the yellow card is described, meaning she is now pending in Sunday’s series final at home against Linköping.
– She (Judge Maral Mirzai Bani) thinks I am cheating and on my part I think she is under pressure from the side. They obviously want us to move on with the match and I understand that, it’s totally ‘good’. But it is the judge who should make the decision, not listening to what they are shouting on the podium, says Berglund.
In the case that led to a yellow card, Berglund chose to give up a free kick for goalkeeper Tejan Mika.
I might stand next to the ball for a couple of seconds before we make the decision to put it away. Then I get a card. So I can’t buy it, it bothers me too much to say in moderation.
I cried after the match
The effect of the comment on Berglund.
– I was in tears after that actually. I definitely don’t want to put the team in this situation, it annoys me.
Even coach Renee Sligers was upset by the warning.
– I think it’s really strange. I have to read the entire report to say it correctly but for me it is not a yellow card. It is very unnecessary. It’s sad that there are judgments like this that will affect us, but we have many good leaders and players on the team, so we’ll have to measure without Emma against Linkoping, says Sligers.
Rosengård leads the women’s league, two points ahead of Linköping.
