Per Bohmann scored five points from Degerfors-Djurgården.
1. Brand new Diggerforce
In Stora Valla, there was hope for life again. An emerging hope that a little thought will return to Degerfors. Al Ittihad started the season historically poorly with six losses in a row but never acted in a panic. Patrick Werner has kept a pair of damned coaches who have finally managed to stabilize the defensive game. The team has cemented some necessary names and looked like a capable Allsvenskan team in the past few months.
When Djurgården came to Värmland, they faced a team that had not lost in Fala since May. Degerforce had six in a row at home without a code and suddenly there was a different sparkle on the team. Omar Farag and Gustav Lagerbelke contributed with high quality, and this week captain Sebastian Olsson raised the spirits of the entire municipality when he signed a new long-term contract.
This will be a challenge for the series’ leaders.
2. That’s why you like watching Omar Farag
In recent weeks, I’ve been thinking about what made me so fond of Omar Faraj. Hard work, style, goal instinct? Sure, but I still think his strong stance was more decisive for the Degerforce than his technical and physical qualities.
He really thinks so!
In every position regardless of resistance.
It is this attitude, poise, and clarity that is so attractive. Faraj acts and acts as if he is playing for a big team, even though he is in a group that is fighting for his presence in the Allsvenskan.
3. Djordich looked like ‘Turbo’ Svensson
He impressed me a lot in the home team. Adam Karlin and Christos Gravius acted wisely against Sweden’s best midfield. Together with the three defenders, the midfield once again showed that Degerfors had become a team that could actually organize a low but compact defense. The fact that Nikola Djordgic was toiling like a ‘turbo’ Svensson says all about the solidarity that was present in the home team’s pressing and defensive play.
At the same time, they always have their core confidence in the ball, exemplified by Sebastian Olsson who distinguished himself with his beautiful jôga bonito style.
On the right flank, the efficient and non-technical duo Rasmus Orqvist and Elias Buzyn advanced forward in concrete and dangerous attacks. The latter was also the one who so clearly smashed a cross into a roof in which Jesper Löfgren was completely inferior to the one-man army of the Vengeance. The troubled and troubled La Liga loan player got the ball first and put it in the net.
4. Raunchy soccer sleepwalk
Degerforce deserved the lead. Djurgorden? They shot 30 percent of their ability? Tame in a game of fencing and slow rhythm with the ball. Not imaginative and not proactive enough to detect Degerfor. Negative tendencies we’ve seen before during the fall grass games.
Kim Bergstrand and Thomas Lagerlöf invested in some form of shock therapy to wake the team from the soccer-filled sleepwalk that was done in the first half. Three changes immediately after the break. Dumboya, Wendell & Edwardson. Wikim, Raditenak and Panda V.
But the only ones who were shocked were Djurgården.
Because the players who were most shocked in the first half stayed on the field. Jesper Lofgren and Marcus Danielson were harassed by Faraj in a way that in civilian life led to a police report. The midfielders’ nightmare continued into the second half.
A chance ball was caught behind Djurgården’s backline and Faraj was pitted like a hungry dog. Danielson stressed himself at the same time that Jacob Wedel Zetterström failed to communicate. A simple header turned into an own goal, and Danielson looked so miserable that someone should have hugged him.
5. Perfect, degreaser. Unacceptable, Djurgården – Did you forget that you play for SM gold?
Perfect effort.
It is not possible to describe the complete dismantling of the Degerfors of the Olsvenskan league leader in any other way. Andreas Holmberg and Tobias Solberg proved that he doesn’t have to be with or with Degerfors. They can submit to a disciplined and defensive organization without giving up their positive identity.
The home team closed in on Djurgarden without any worries, and there was not even talk of a push from Stockholm, and Johan Bertelsson responded to make the score 3-0. Degerfors storms towards a new Allsvenskan contract and it would be a great escape called a duga, right?
To Djurgården, you often want to ask: Did you forget that you play for SM gold?
The Blue Stripes have not lost in the Allsvenskan in thirteen matches and at some point, of course, defeat will come. Probably all supporters will accept that. But the performance itself that led to this loss was totally unacceptable. And hard to understand in terms of the importance of the match!
The tired and uninspired players were led by a tactically bereft coaching duo who seemed to lack the tools and ideas to tackle the grass-court matches where Djurgården must run the match. Things went well in European away matches against Sepsi and Rijeka – where he can strike Djurgården from below – but they were unable to increase the necessary and angry passing tempo against Mjällby, Kalmar, Värnamo, Varberg or Degerfors.
Dejorgaarden’s only small joy is that he has only one game left on the grass this season, and it’s outside Malmö FF, who are unlikely to back down and settle down.
