Gutenberg. A cramp in the groin, a big bruise in the knee crease, and a fishing hat with Mats Grauer on it.
Calle Klingberg got most of it in the first home run.
– I had a cramp in my thigh throughout the third period, says the new acquisition of Frölunda after the 5-2 defeat to Leksand.
12,044 in Scandinavia sold out, so the audience did not need to wear winter jackets immediately. Great for them, but harder for the players on the ice
“I think I had a cramp in my thigh throughout the third period,” says Calle Klingberg, after he finished the match by standing up and breathing during an interview with TV4.
-I was so tired that I could barely stand upright during the interview, and I had to stand up and bend and extend my legs a little. You have to snort after the game, if you don’t, you’ve done something wrong, I think. But maybe I can learn something from the cramps, maybe I should absorb more before the game, I don’t know.
He even saw benefits from heat and cramping.
– If we can get used to this heat and the competitors don’t, that’s great for us.

Knee guided
It has been 12 years since Leromsonen last played in Scandinavia. Then as a wide receiver, now he’s back as a star. One of those who will make a difference. And in the opening match against Leksand, he did just that.
It was Klingberg who scored the equalizer after Leksand’s early goal in the penalty area. But not with the club, but with the knee bent. In the dressing room, he twisted his leg and showed a serious bruise in the crease where Christian Folin’s shot then went in an arc over Leksand goalkeeper Mantas Armalis.
– We said that if there was a goal from the 48th with an assist from the 2nd, this is probably what it should look like. It was a hell of a flow, but on the other hand, it doesn’t happen if I don’t step in and put myself in front of goal. I have to take that with me, even if it’s a bit of luck.
His second goal, the 4-2 decider, wasn’t a dream goal either, but instead, the ball was completely free four centimeters from goal after control.
– The ball must enter even if it is lying down and dancing on the goal line. Such goals are actually more fun to achieve than actual dream goals.
“It’s very small”
The bruise and “meat target” weren’t the only things that stood out about Klingberg. In the dressing room afterwards, he also wore a black fishing hat with a picture of Frölunda team boss Mats Grauers and the text “Come back now”. The “price” he had to pay for being named the team’s best player.
-We provoke each other a little. And the fact that it’s a picture of Grauers is that he’s on top of a chicken and he’s deciding. So, if he can come again, so can we all. Next time someone else wears it, unless I decide to keep it myself.
How does he sit?
– No, it’s too small for me. We have to find someone else with a smaller head for the next game.
