Nobody asked the question.
Then Daniel Backstrom lost his patience at the press conference.
– Does anyone ask me about the punishment?
Another svenskan tour. Another discussion about provisions?
Sirius coach Daniel Backstrom saw himself starting after 2-2 against AIK. Sirius scored the winning goal near the end of the match, but Eric Otieno’s shot was saved by Johan Karlsson. The ball hit the hand of the Kenyan who made himself bigger with the help of his arm.
‘It’s a punishment’
At the press conference that followed, there were no questions about the situation. Perhaps because the journalists on the site (and the readers at home?) are a little tired of discussions about the judges.
Then Daniel Backstrom took care of it himself.
Does anyone ask about the punishment? He shouted as the press conference ended.
“You want punishment”
What do you think of this situation then?
– This is a penalty.
Completely isolated, I want punishment. But when I zoom out and look at what the match was like over 90 minutes, AIK could score during the pressure period, just as we have a number of situations. 2-2 isn’t unfair, but when it’s so close to the final signal and so clear, of course you want a penalty.
“I don’t understand how I missed them”
On the other hand, AIK faced a similar penalty kick situation a few minutes before the match. Markus Matissen then stopped AIK’s shot on the goal line with his upper body.
– I didn’t think I’d reach the finish line. But I put the ball on my chest, I guess, and when I saw it next, I thought so. It wasn’t a punishment, says Siriusbakken and continues:
On the other hand, our situation with Johann Karlsson is a clear punishment. I’ve only seen him fast but he’s up high with his hands, Otieno, and it’s clear. I don’t understand how the judges missed it.
