The Hammarby players began to smell victory in the air.
Then they received unexpected support – from Victor Edvardsen.
– I think Hammarby plays with us, says the striker.
After that, the green and white sides of the derby united somewhat. Hammarby was at least as good as Djurgarden, maybe even better, but he lost.
Do you think this is a fair result?
– No, I don’t think so, says Darijan Boyanic.
With a purpose?
– Because I don’t think so.
Although Boyanic was silent, the opinion prevailing among the villages of Hammer was as follows: if Bagen had found some kind of competence, they would have earned at least one point from the derby.
“They have two in the woods and they play with us.”
The unexpected? After that, opponent Victor Edvardsen agreed to the analysis. He thought Hammarby was the better team and he was very clear about it.
Exhibition?
-I don’t know. They have two in the woods and play with us, I think. Hammarby is fine. We should be happy that they didn’t score any goals. At the same time, we have chances to kill the match as well.
– I’m so glad we won.
But do you mean Baggen played you at the end of the match?
– Ngai. In the first half with. Then they are better than us. We never reach the level. But we show the morale, the aggressiveness, the winning mentality which is also important. It’s good to win 1-0, he says and continues:
– We have something good, but we must also play good football. We’ve got plenty left to pick up at the same time we’re splitting number one at the table, hanging on to the top and doing well.
About the change: “Amazed”
Thus he himself was replaced by match champion Gustav Wikheim after just over an hour of play.
– I wasn’t worse than anyone else. I was a little surprised, but it was a success because he scored a goal, says Edwardson with a crooked smile.
Joel Asoro ran after his friend regarding the change to drench him.
– I understand he doesn’t want to be substituted, I understand he wants to continue because he was hot in the match and I understand he wants to measure up because it would have been so special for him. I just gave up, in the next game you might score three goals because that’s how football works.
Edwardson’s coup: ‘I told him’
After the match, Edvardsen was able to enter the middle again. Djurgården celebrated with supporters and teammate Haris Radetinac chose a disturbing rhyme for Hammarby.
– I was the one who told him to do it. You can write it down so you have something to write about, Edwardson says and laughs before he leaves Tele2.
Harris Radetenak:
– I think it was him who had me. Edwardson was happy about that, wasn’t he? We had a few rhymes to choose and sing. We also wanted to stay on the field for a long time so that there wouldn’t be a fight in the crowd. Hammarby stayed on his heels and it’s better that we stay and sing with us rather than focus on others. Then we stayed in the stadium a little longer than usual when we celebrated.
