MFF stars think the attack was planned
Malmo. Many MFF players believed that the missile attack was planned to give Union Berlin an advantage in the match.
Åge Hareide rages against UEFA and the Germans.
– Then they cannot play in Europe, says the MFF coach.
Malmo FF She played with another player, pressed for a key goal and just had the best chance of scoring in the match.
Then it rained literally from the heel section of Union Berlin: two riders and several pieces of fireworks were launched onto the pitch and into other sections of the stands.
The referee stopped the match for about half an hour before play resumed.
Then the MFF lost its advantage and the Germans managed to seal the match with their goal 1-0.
Åge Hareide thinks stopping playing gave the Germans advantages.
– They get a clear advantage. It gives an advantage to the team that has one less man. They can rest. It is not an advantage for us. We just want to keep playing. UEFA should look into this matter. If that’s an easy way to stop the game and then keep playing, it’s obnoxious to football. They spoil the match and spoil it for the other fans, for the players and the coaches… Well, everyone, the MFF coach said very upset at the post-match press conference.
‘They are smart’
After that, many MFF players believed that the scandalous scenes were planned to give the Germans an advantage.
– I think so. They are smart. They were man less and could rest a bit, too, mentally. It benefited them and ruined the rhythm for us, says Martin Olson.
– exactly. that what I think. They get it exactly where they want it. This means that they can decide on their terms. This is where things go wrong. Supporter culture is great, but when you get that far, it’s okay, says Isaac Casey Tellin.
– Now that I say it…it shouldn’t happen that the fans can control the match, says Dennis Hadzikadyunek.
Hareide doesn’t want to speculate whether it was well planned by German fans.
– I can’t answer this. Then I plant a suspicion that may be baseless. The strange thing and the shame is that UEFA allows this to happen, so that they can stop the match for such a long time. The Norwegian says it’s pretty shocking, not least given what’s going on in the world.
Above all, he was upset because the decision had taken so long.
The problem was that it took a long time. They have to make the decision faster.
‘Disgusting that it could happen’
A few days ago, at least 125 people died in a tragedy in Indonesia. After supporters stormed the square and clashed with the police.
– This is happening a few days after what happened in Indonesia. I thought the Germans were a sane people. But not the way they act today, says Hared.
It is disgusting that this should happen to football in a modern society.
Heid believes that UEFA must now act aggressively against the fans and perhaps also against Union Berlin as a club.
– Then you have to keep them (supporters) away from Europe. Or ban the team if they have supporters behaving as such. Then they can’t play in Europe, he says.
