Heiken slid back onto the table.
However, the team finally managed to gain second place in the Women’s League.
– I’ve already given up the season, says coach Robert Villahamn.
Despite a deficit at Stockholm Stadium, Häcken managed to turn around and beat Djurgården with 3-1. Hisingsklubben coach Robert Villahamn believes he’s never really been nervous.
I think things are going too fast before we understand that we have to keep doing what we have. In the second half we really pushed them down. We had good self-confidence and you get that when you win matches together, he told Sportbladet and adds:
An unbelievably cool turn and victory, it indicates the good morale of the team.
“Autumn was almost perfect”
After a difficult start to the season, Häcken sealed a number of victories to the finish. With a 3-1 win over Djurgården, Hising’s team finished the year with nine straight wins, leading to a second place in the table.
Autumn was almost perfect. It was just a passing picture, against Rosengård (0-2). It’s a good start for the future. I have a young team and I am a new coach for this team. But it looks like we’re starting to find the right things. I am very satisfied with the fall, says Vilahamn, who took over Häcken for this season.
“We didn’t have the material”
When the results failed, Häcken had to act this summer and make several changes to the team.
– They were necessary. Hecken wants to play certain football and I want to play certain football. I felt we didn’t have the materials to play that football. Then it always takes time to get to know the players. What we needed to do this summer was find the right way with this set, and it turned out really well, says Villahamn.
Before the summer crashed on the table, did you think you’d end up in second place?
– number. I’ve already given up this season. That’s why I wanted to do a review even then, and lay the foundation for the next year. I had hope of getting into the top three, but I felt it would be difficult to win all the matches. But we put it together very quickly.
