Girona. Happy to be in the national team for the first time.
However, the injury of his close friend and colleague in Spezia, the Polish goalkeeper Bartolomey Dragowski, affected him.
– It’s among the worst I’ve seen, says Emil Holm, 22.
Less than two years ago, Emil Holm was not a regular at IFK Gothenburgbut via Danish Sönderjyske and now spices Did he make it to the national team.
The right-back’s success has led to rumors circulating that he is on the radar of Juventus and Ajax.
– I can’t think of that far into the future. But of course it’s fun to write. I’ll let my agent take care of it. I try not to focus on what is written but on football. I don’t think about it, says Hulme when he just finished his first training session with the national team in Spain.
A terrible injury to a teammate
On Sunday, Emil Holm played 90 minutes again when Spezia, with Albin Ekdal from the start, scored with a powerful three-pointer, converting a 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 away win over Verona’s Isaac Henn.
But it was a victory that was overshadowed by a terrifying injury to Spezia’s 25-year-old Polish international goalkeeper, Bartolomi Dragowski.
– Holm told Sportbladet he was ill to see his foot and explained what happened to the goalkeeper himself in the 43rd minute of the match at Bentegodi Stadium in Verona.
– It was a 50-50 ball that he landed on. It’s put in and I think it’s because they (Verona) don’t get quick throw-ins. But when I get there and see the foot, it’s among the worst things I’ve seen, when I was playing myself, Holm says.
In the confrontation between Dragovski and the onrushing Verona player, the Spezia goalkeeper broke his foot, which was hanging completely out of position.
Missing WC now
– He was going to the toilet too, so I feel very sorry for him, – says Emil Holm.
Are you tight as friends?
– We sit next to each other in the dressing room and we have a good relationship. On our way home we stop by the bus so we have to say hi to him. It was good to see that he was getting better, despite the circumstances.
On Wednesday, Sweden meets Mexico, who are preparing for the World Cup in Spain. It could immediately be a game for Emil Holm. Competitor Joel Anderson is rude and dismissive of Monday’s training in Girona.
– If I get the chance, I’ll be ready. I think I have become more complete and matured as a player and as a person, says Emil Holm.
