Dublin. opponent against Shamrock Rovers.
Increasingly poor performances are starting to worry Djurgaarden – especially as the derby match against Hammarby looms on Sunday.
– The first 25 of the second half is disastrous, says Thomas Lagerlöf, after the match.
Only one park ranger is convinced against Shamrock Rovers. Alexander Vasyutin came in instead of resting (poked?) Jacob Wedel Zetterstrom and saved Djurgarden in the second half.
He makes one bad decision in the match, but other than that he is safe, calm and gentle. very well. Plus, he’s saved us on a few occasions, says coach Thomas Lagerlöf.
Was Widell Zetterström put off the bench for his efforts against Apoel in Cyprus and the pressure involved?
– It had nothing to do with him. There is pressure in all games. We have an important match on Sunday as well, and then against Molde after that. We have great games all the time.
You rarely lose here.
After that, both coaches and players were greatly disappointed with the performance against Shamrock. In principle, everyone thinks that Djurgården is a much better team than the Irish – Magnus Eriksson stated that they are middle-class Allsvenskan – and that the Stockholmers should have won.
The performance was not good, but the result was good. Really disappointed with how the team behaved early and midway through the second half, Lagerlöf said the Rovers are good at home and rarely lose here, but a point is fine.
– So it is disastrous on our part. The roving vehicles are doing well and are punishing us. They make sure we make bad decisions. But then we have big problems. We almost make their chances for them.
Meet Hammarby on Sunday
There is concern in the team that efforts have progressively worsened in recent weeks. The results are good, even good, but the game is not more than 90 minutes.
We are very disappointed after this match, says captain Magnus Ericsson.
Victor Edvardsen fills in:
Everyone can agree that we are a better football team than Shamrock, he says and continues:
– That’s how it is. We haven’t been 100 percent in all the shows lately, although it’s a strength and we’re still winning. But this Sunday, we have to put in a flawless effort against Hammarby if we want three points.
Thomas Lagerlöf and Hampus Finndell believed that energy was missing.
It’s a balance between energy and quality. There are many things that prevent us from being on an equal footing today. But energy is one of them. he was not there. On Sunday against Hammarby, we have no excuse for not coming up with the right energy.
