Guthenberg. The Gutenberg Derby on Sunday is more expensive than ever.
Into the pot: SM is gone.
We won’t budge an inch, says IFK Göteborg’s Sebastian Eriksson.
Häcken needs one more point in either of the remaining two games to claim SC’s first historic gold.
First Chance: Sunday’s Gutenberg Derby at Gamla Olivier Stadium vs. IFK Gothenburg.
Last Chance: Allsvenskan final at home at Bravida Arena.
It’s going to be a tough match
The fact that Häcken will secure gold in the home grounds of his arch rival Gamla Ullevi fills leaders and players with dread.
– I was there on a few occasions when it happened and it wasn’t funny, says Sebastian Ericsson and continues:
It is strange for me as a Blue and White to face such a match. It’s mixed feelings. We will do everything we can so that Häcken does not stand here as the winner of that match.
– It’s going to be a tough match. We won’t budge an inch. They shouldn’t be allowed to win on our court, says Ericsson.
Both Hossam Ayesh and the coach Michael Staher He has a background in Häcken.
The swordsmen have been so good this year, you have to give them that. It is a fun game to play and we will try to get three points. It doesn’t matter if it’s Häcken or another club, we don’t want anyone else to take SM Gold at Gamla Ullevi, says Aiesh.
Stahre trained Häcken
Stahre, who was coach of Häcken in 2016-2017.
– We have to win that match.
Why is it so important?
– It’s an all-Sweden match. It’s a derby match. Of course we have to win it. It’s like meeting Malmö or AIK. Some games are bigger than others. Of course we want to beat Hacken. It is crystal clear. We won away last spring and if we can win six points against the Swedish champions, that means we are not completely useless.
Do you really see Häcken as a hero?
– the correct.
– I think Häcken will win SM gold and… I don’t want opponents to win. I don’t want to see any other team win SM gold. Then turn off, the same this time, says IFK Gutenberg coach, Mikael Stahre.
