According to the information, Malmö FF sent demands to Brålanda before the match in the Sweden Cup.
A long detailed list of Swedish wealthy title-holders to the little bottom club in Division 3.
– They must have contacted some association and asked if this is something you are expected to do. Then they received an answer from the union, “You shouldn’t fix something nonsense, let them fix things themselves,” says Tobias Heisen on the Ljugarbänken podcast.
It was the Ljugarbänken podcast with football profiles Tobias Hysén and Pontus Wernbloom that was able to reveal the list of demands.
They don’t mention it’s about that Malmo FF who sent it to Berlanda before the game in Dalsland on Wednesday night.
Brålanda themselves have listened to the podcast but don’t want to confirm anything either.
– We have no comments. People can guess for themselves what club it’s about, but you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do that. The dialogue with Malmö FF worked out excellently, says sporting director Peter Hector.
According to Sportbladet’s reliable sources, it’s all about the two clubs and the match.
‘Maybe it should have been kept’
List of demands revealed by Ljugarbänken:
“We want the following in our dressing room:
40 large towel brackets
100 pint bottles of plain plain water
30 bananas
2 exercise bikes
1 board with pens
Coffee and cake for the staff
20 kilos of ice and 10 small plastic bags
10 warm-up balls and 5 break-in balls
– We must be honest and say that they are already writing so as not to get upset, we are sending the same to all teams. What I can sense as we go through this list is, maybe not this time. Perhaps this particular match should have been on this list, says Tobias Heisen.
“Someone was thinking”
The list then continues and becomes more prominent in context according to Tobias Hysén.
– Then comes one of those parts where someone should have been thinking, “Look, maybe we shouldn’t be sending this.” For their analysts then, “desk space with power outlets for 2x analyzers. 2x SDI signal + cables for TV to connect laptops and ipad (first camera).”
– “Please send the information about the TV to the production company, we would like to get an ethernet jack from the regulator, through which we can connect a cable to our seat.”
Want grandstand seats
Then, there are more requirements to be resolved in Sörbyvallen north of Vänersborg.
“Council ticket with food
15 executive tickets with seats near the seat
10-20 player ticket for relatives/employees
100 printed tickets that we can distribute to our fans
Three need tickets, which come in addition to the players and leaders
VIP seat with food
– I can’t help but feel that way, of course, fine. You are a bigger club than you are going to. My opinion on this is that in this game, whoever the hell is reading this list and thinks we are sending this list in this game as well. It’s also good, we do it for all the teams, we do it for all the teams. We may also send this list to that club we are going to now, says Tobias Heisen.
‘It could have been more fair’
What it is about is that the list is not mundane and disproportionate.
– What would have been fairer is to email ‘and now that a lot of people have come in, we have a good experience with it. Is this something we can help with, is it something we should ask our supporters to think about when we come to you. How can we Helping you make this the best experience, like, in your club’s history.If you want to be humble in a humble way, says Tobias Heisen.
Niklas Karlin, CEO of Malmö FF, hasn’t heard the podcast and doesn’t know if it’s his club that’s being referenced.
– What I can say is that we do exactly the same way in preparation if we meet with a club in Allsvenskan or in another context. We want the same professionalism before all matches. Then there is communication with the club about what we have proposed and if we can help. Against smaller clubs in Sweden and at the start of the European match, we may find other solutions. The collaboration with Brålanda has worked out in the best way, says Niklas Karlin.
As a representative of Malmö FF, he does not want to comment on the content of any list and confirm that it pertains to his club.
