I can explain how Djurgården took the match, I have a theory on how to get rid of it, and I saw when they won it.
2-3 against Molde, some mysteries remain:
What about Kim Bergstrand’s pulse? And where is his hat?
Two hours before kick-off, SLO Svein Erik Jenset of Molde tweeted a message to all Norwegians considering going to Tele2 Arena:
The police will be in the area to make sure we don’t completely escape.
fair play. European football is just about that, not getting lost. Don’t lose your head, to get lost.
Molde came to Stockholm with a full semi-round team compared to the last league game, and they can do it here. They know their artificial turf (nine league away matches a year are played on plastic), they know their European game, they set up 5-3-2, they put the match up in the simple and reliable Dynamo sv. The Swedes threw it at them.
It was not a little.
Fifty seconds later, Peter Johansson interfered inside the penalty area, received the ball from Amadou Domboya and was within a centimeter or two of reaching the penalty area. Djurgården went up too high, locking up play and pushing the back line into midfield. The blue striped Swedish flag over Sophia’s pose, chest raised, Dave intended to ride on a European adventure where they simply refuse to apologize.
It was fun to watch.
It was also very dangerous.
The start of the match was one chicken raceDjurgården raised the match to the max, although centre-backs Marcus Danielson and Jesper Lofgren are not greyhounds. Molde was four or five points ahead of the game, and as soon as they started to breathe it looked like they could escape at any moment in the space desert behind Dfave’s backline. In the first five minutes of the match, they had three good chances to punish Djurgarden, with Ole Brynhilsen and superb talent David Fofana.
The teams looked like a near-complete European team this fall. Keeping your focus in every moment is something you only learn from experience, and here they corrected flaws quickly, becoming more accurate in their early and higher defensive play. It got more challenging for a generator, more controllable, and the game in there was blue. Where Molde built games by playing against the wall side and back with a simple but reliable Sivert Mannsverk dynamo, and rarely (except for the opening game) letting a 5-3-2 slip into something else, Djurgården was Magnus Ericsson It floats above the entire court, and can be played at every moment.
it was good. The he is bra.
do hard work
The problem – or challenge – with European games is that it’s very easy to lose matches there.
When the first half whistle blew, Jesper Lofgren clenched his fist and limped out into the locker room, wondering what had happened. Here he had his chance now that Hjalmar Ekdal got hurt and sold Isaac Hen, a big match in the electric lights and the humidity of September, fans squeezed and money into the pot – and so it was enough with a lazy second to put his team in the depths of shit. Brynhildsen changed the pace of the short streak, Löfgren did not keep up and so there was a penalty. Fofana succeeded in this, and the supporters of the teams fell silent and received a yellow card.
He thought it might be worth it.
in half an hour.
Djurgården played against their stands after the break and became less precise with their movements and passes because that was the pressure they wanted. (I asked Thomas Lagerlöf if it was one of the factors they were talking about, that they go out halfway and play in front of their own stands. He replied “You can take care of that”).
The rush led to corner kicks and free kicks, after which Dumboya scored his first goal for the teams. The cork was out, and here it all came in. Domboy scored another goal but saw it fading away. A minute later Fofana received his second yellow card (very cheap, one of several questionable decisions), and another minute later Molde was asleep when Magnus Ericsson fired a free kick to Emmanuel Banda.
2–1, eleven to ten, half an hour left to cover the match.
The hard work has been done.
The simple? Djurgården forgot about it.
The match was won, and it was to be watched at home, but the adrenaline ran out, the power went out, and they couldn’t read the new mode. Djurgården was Totally gone. Where are the police when you need them?
Only one thing is the best
Well, if there is a Nizam power in Dave’s midfield, his name is Rasmus Schuller, when he was substituted he left a hole in Djurgarden’s scale. With one man less, Generator had three or four good chances to easily get back into the match, and when it all crashed Kim Bergstrand From his training hat. Substitute Joel Asoro seized the opportunity, and a Norwegian pass later attacked Molde’s mortal side with five against four defenders. Christian Eriksen received a cross, Emil Breivik sent the second ball into the goal.
Kim
European football is about this: to complete whole matches, not slack and not lose.
European football is about winning anyway.
– I am not happy with the match, but not happy with the decisive moments, said Molde coach Erling Mo.
And the defining moment wasn’t Djurgården’s super minutes, nor was it the defining moment of his birth with Ten Men. The decisive moment was in stoppage time, when Elias Anderson caught a hot cross for a better cross, and when Joel Asuro cut two goals at the far post.
2-3, three points.
There is only one thing better than winning the big matches in football – and that is winning them twice.
Djurgården still has things to learn, but now they know how to win.
