They meet at weddings and in the Champions League.
Ellen Robinson and her maid-servant Amanda Elstead clashed in Paris this time.
We’re very close friends, but when we meet on the soccer field, it doesn’t matter, says BK Häcken’s Ellen Robinson.
BK Hacken He wants to participate in the group stage of the Champions League. But then PSG must be defeated in two matches.
Ellen Robinson I think it is possible. Although the worst enemy is a close friend.
Going into periods like this can be beneficial for the team. We know we have to be at our best to beat a team like PSG.
What will be important to you in the first meeting?
– You have to think of two games. We want the best possible result, and we know we’re strong at home.
We know it will be a tough match, but we definitely have the chance. We’re in great shape now, says Ellen Robinson.
Sit against the friend
One of Haken’s challenges will be past PSG defender Amanda Elstedt. Eileen Robinson knows what awaits her when her best friend, the one who was the bridesmaid at the wedding when Eileen and Philip got married, is on the other side. Just like last year when Amanda Elstedt played for Bayern Munich.
– It will be entertaining. It seems we always meet in the Champions League. We watch each other, says Ellen Robinson.
How close are you to each other?
– We’ve been very good friends for a long time. We don’t talk every day, but we know where we stand and we’ll be together for a long time.
Experienced Haken midfielder Eileen Robinson sees her friend and fellow national team player making a difference at PSG.
– She has an important role. She’s strong, she has good ball leadership and she’s good at finding crosses and very difficult in the defensive game, which is her strength. PSG is a smart team, I can imagine Amanda balancing the team really well.
fetch the star
Offensively, PSG are a strong side, even if the team’s top scorer, Marie Antoinette Catuto, suffers from a knee injury. But the team was strengthened by Dutch star Lake Martins. She, who has a background in Kopparbergs/Göteborg and FC Rosengård, left Barcelona this summer for Paris.
– They have very good players. They have Ramona (Bachmann and Lake Martins. They’re players we’ve met before, but they haven’t beat the players and we also have talented players, as Eileen Robinson points out.
The match takes place on Wednesday evening at 20.30 and can be viewed here on sportbladet.se
