Can Malmö FF sell Häcken today?
Just as Åge Hareide once sank Per-Mathias Högmo.
– I took his cruciate ligament. Hared says he was so angry that if he could just walk, he would probably have knocked me down.
mid eighties. His generator meets Tromso.
Heavy and fleshy Haredi set his sights on bright little Per-Mathias Högmo.
– I dealt with his cruciate ligament, he says Malmo FF: the coach.
Did you do it?
– yes. He was so angry that if he had only been able to walk he would have hit me to the ground.
I got the message after she was kicked by Maradona
Was it a violation?
– Totally safe. I just had a bad treatment (laughs). No, but the ball was in the middle and came in very hard while he was standing. It was just bad luck.
Hared was known as a crude and unpretentious player. It’s no wonder when you hear him put together a script about his career.
I went to annoy people, but not to harm them. You kicked (Diego) Maradona. Kick him in the shins. It was very fast. But he just looked at me. Then I got a message from a Swede who thought I was an illegitimate person who kicked Maradona.
I also kicked (Karl Heinz) Rummenigge in the legs. “are you crazy?” Asked.
“Send me to the hospital!”
A few days later, Sportbladet took up the matter with Högmo. The Norwegian looked surprised but laughed so he stares when reminded of the incident.
– lol! I did not tighten the cruciate ligament, as Hared says, but he sent me to the hospital!
– He was an angular center back, Hared. With limited technical characteristics. I entered the duel and it was late. He stamped me right across the knee. So I ended up in the hospital and was in real pain overnight. But there was no serious damage.
Hareide emphasizes in his melody that Högmo was a difficult type despite his creative style of play.
A good technical player. But she didn’t budge. He is a tough person. He came from a small place in northern Norway and they are very strict there.
Tribute to Högmo: Hats off
Högmo smiles when he hears the praise of the MFF coach.
– It’s been well laid out. We come from similar places and united in will to fight against big clubs like Rosenborg. We were also very close colleagues when I was the sporting director and he was the coach of the national team. Åge is a well-liked soccer player.
As a player, he was a leader, tactically strong and incredibly good at fencing. He mustered his forces and was relentless.
Even in melee?
– HHHH Yes. This is possible. If you have forgiven him? yes. It will be interesting to meet him on Sunday. To stand on each side of each other again as coaches.
Malmö FF is having a season that looks like a fiasco at Allsvenskan. Today, however, they can put a temporary end to Häcken’s lead in the series at the Bravida Arena.
Hats off to what Per Matthias did at Hacken. He’s built a good, good team in a good way. I wish him all the best, Hared concludes.
