Johan Garbenlöf on the situation at Djurgården: “It was very chaotic”

Djurgården continued to hit after injury in Hockeyallsvenskan.

Before 7-3 surpassed Björklöven recently, it recently lost 3-0 against Mora på Hovet.

– There are really no secrets, insist that it is about playing 60 minutes and not 40 minutes or 20 minutes, says coach Johann Garbinlöf.

Now Johan Garbenlöf has been in the booth at Djurgården for the last 11 matches.

Under “Garpen” the scoring average was 1.55, while Joakim Fagervall’s scoring average was 1.81.

Djurgården dropped to fifth in the table after four straight losses.

“fragile now”

After a 3-0 lead at home against Mora, Djurgården collapsed and conceded four goals in a row.

In the end, there was a 5-4 penalty shootout loss in the training duel between former NHL players Johan Garbinlöf and Johan Hedberg.

– We were shaken when they scored, we are weak now. We don’t really believe in what we’re doing, we get distracted and we disappear. We stress situations, Garbin says, and that makes them stressful and stressful.

“he must learn”

It was barely twelve minutes in when Djurgården lost from 3-0 to 3-3.

– Of course, I don’t like us giving up a three-goal lead. We have to learn to finish such a match, Garbin says, and we have to be more careful with our play.

What is clear is that matches are uneven and that the team ends up in a deep slump.

– We have something to work on there. I don’t think we’ve put together three good spells the way we’ve played. We have to work on that and see if we can participate and fight for it in the future. We don’t get impatient for 60 minutes, Garbin says.

“I have to go back”

A lot happened in the team during the season with the presence and absence of many players.

– We’ve been badly injured, and many players have been off the field for a long time. This makes it difficult to build chemistry into our chains, and it becomes more difficult to build security in what we do, says Garbin.

Against Mora, five JVM players returned, as well as three previously injured players.

Linus Claassen is also set to return against the Bofors at Noble Hall on Friday night.

On the other hand, Linus Arnesson went against Mora without there being any status update yet.

Other than that, only Alexander Yetrell remains on the injury list.

– If we can keep these players healthy and build on that, I think we will find the right thing. We have to go back and play the way we want to play and be patient about it,” Garbin says.

“difficult period”

How do you see the development and situation in relation to the expectations you had when you took on the job?

– The expectation is that we’ll get to the playoffs, make the trip and come back to the SHL. Everyone knows about it and nothing changes. We are now in a difficult period. It’s not an excuse, but an explanation that he was simply too messy on our team. We have ten plus and minus players in and out of our squad. Ultimately, it takes a lot out of players, and it takes away from the way we play. We must get over that now. We’ve got players back and now they have to come in. We must get the chemistry in the chains and take the next step in this. We have to take the next game and the next game all the time to move on and practice what isn’t right.

‘She has high expectations’

Did the situation turn out to be more difficult than I expected?

– I knew it would be hard. This league is tough and we have high expectations for ourselves. I know we have a team that is expected to do many things. It is not so easy to play in this league that you think the teams and players can dominate. It’s a tough league and we see that now, if you don’t play your best hockey, you lose.

The job is very much about watching the video with the players to check what to do when the stances are facing forward and when it comes to concentrating lying in the back.

A deep slump in terms of results began in the derby against AIK in the Globen in the intervening days when Djurgården lost 1-0 which led to a 2-1 loss.

Since then, the former bottom team AIK has three consecutive pointers on its side.
