AIK was booed by their Friends fans.
Degerfors player Nikola Djurgic is not surprised.
– I understand the fans are upset, AIK is definitely not good enough this year, says the striker.
AIK lost both their 1-0 lead and win over Degerfors in the last game before breaking the national team. In the last round, the team lost 2-0 to bottom team Varberg and fans are very unhappy with AIK’s performance. There were loud boos in the final minutes of the match, and after the last signal, “Go away.”
– I totally understand that they boo, I would have been more worried if they hadn’t booed. It hurts we’re not doing better, says Axel Björnstrom, who saved Ike from a loss when the 27-year-old stopped the ball on the goal line at the end of the match.
“It’s always fun to fight with him.”
Another player who watched AIK was a Degerforce player and a former Hammarby player Nikola Djurgic.
There must be chaos at the end of matches with a club like AIK. AIK certainly isn’t good enough this year, and I understand the fans are upset, says Djordich, who was replaced after Degerfors tied 1-1 in the second half.
It was a tough match, I feel bitter that we didn’t win. There was a little fight with “Sotte” at the end of the match, it’s always fun to fight with him. It’s been like this a few times before, so it’s a good idea to keep the traditions alive, says Djurdjic with a smile.
“One of the parties wants to shout back.”
There were AIK players who were depressed after the match and they all had similar analyses.
One side wants to respond to the fans and the other wants to raise their hand and say sorry, I totally understand the fans are angry. No excuses, we’re on the field supposed to score and we haven’t, says Mikael Lustig.
We feel nervous and anxious after a tie. We deliver a much worse level after their goals, although there is plenty of time left. “As a captain, I try to be honest when I say we don’t handle their goals very well,” says Sebastian Larsson.
What is the most important thing to do during the national team break?
– Find safety in our own way of playing, so you don’t get too fragile after setbacks. It is very noticeable that we are concerned.
