John Gudetti hopes for the match against Degerforce
John Gedetti is hoping for the match against Degerforce.
Now the AIK striker talks about the frustration when he contracted covid-19, that the national team break comes at the right time for him, how he views AIK’s golden opportunities, thoughts about the national team and the end of the Allsvenskan.
– If we focus on our own affairs, good things can happen, he says.
AIK suffered a heavy loss against Varberg in the final round of the Allsvenskan. The club now aims to get back into the fight for first place when the team hosts Degerforce at Friends Arena on Sunday. And the John Gidity He hopes to get playing, despite his hamstringitis. At the same time, he admits that the national team’s break came at the right time and that it is frustrating not to be able to get continuity in either training or matches after contracting covid-19 in mid-August.
– It’s going right (with the hamstrings). It was hard after I had corona, it was hard because I didn’t get any continuity in training. But I work hard, get good help here, and then the national team respite comes just in time for me.
– Now it’s the first match against Degerforce. And there we work so that I can be good at it. It’s a match I have to finish and then there’s going to be a long break, which is a good thing, he says.
How do you think about playing the game against Degerforce then, given that it’s a team at the bottom of the table and you’re at home?
Yes, but that’s what we’re working for. With this injury, I’d better start, I think.
‘Very plump’
How do you see the time that has passed so far?
– We had a fixed match last time, there is nothing to talk about, we have to do much better and matches like this should not happen. For my part, I’ve been feeling a little frustrated lately. I feel like I haven’t exercised in a long time.
– At first we had matches all the time, then I got Corona and then I got infected. So I didn’t have time to train, I feel like I didn’t get the continuity. But he will come. I’m getting good help and now there’s a break for the national team where I can build myself up properly.
How do you see the battle of the summit?
– So I don’t think it’s over. We really screwed up against Varberg and that shouldn’t have happened. But we are still in it. If we had beaten Varberg, we would have been at the top and thinking about the results and I think the same thing could happen again. That the other teams at the top lose points and that we win this time.
– Only if we beat Degerforce.
“Good things can happen”
Gediti also believes that AIK can’t take on more underdogs.
– The other results have to go our way because we have less points than the others. But if we focus on our things, on doing our things well, I think we have a good chance.
We don’t have to play two good games and then a slightly worse one, but we have to get into a flow. If we focus on our own, I think good things can happen.
Janne Andersson has now brought out his national team and there were several players from Allsvenskan there, and he said Alexander Jeremejeff was also relevant. Do you still dream about your national team?
– To be completely honest, I didn’t even know it was a selection for the national team. The national team is a long way from my focus now. I’m focusing on the hamstrings that need to recover, AIK that needs to make it happen that I’ll score more goals against the Norra podium and play more derbies. This is the only thing I can think of right now.
I’m enjoying myself fantastically at this club and I just want to be injury free and play matches week after week.
“Frustrating”
The 30-year-old believes that given he hadn’t played matches for a long time when he came to AIK, small flaws and some injuries could still be expected.
– She knew by herself that she would be. I haven’t played in a very long time when I arrived. I contracted Corona, then I played matches every third day with European matches. You have to take the good with the bad and be patient.
Of course it’s frustrating when you want to get in shape as quickly as possible, but now I have to focus on getting continuity. I still think I have proven what I will be able to contribute and I have already contributed.
– I mean as long as I’m able to be injury-free and can play matches, I’ll be able to make a difference for Allsvenskan and a hell of a difference for AIK.
