Elias Gustafson of Orgret celebrated his Häcken SM gold with his opponent’s jersey.
Now Gustafson has given his opinion on the matter.
Gustafson says to Orgrett’s website that the situation is a gesture of appreciation and support for my brothers.
When twin brothers Samuel and Simon Gustafson won the gold medal, younger brother Elias, 25, was there.
The Öis player wore the Häcken match shirt and was also part of the team’s golden party after beating IFK Göteborg.
Pictures of Gustafsson in Hacken’s T-shirt sparked reactions, and Urgrett now writes in a press release that they “had a conversation with Elias” about what happened.
– During the day we sat with Elias and discussed what happened. Andreas Carlsson, the acting club director at Orgret, says that the player is aware of the reactions he provoked, especially in the sensitive situation that the union is going through.
responds to criticism
Carlson says the club will now talk about how the incident will not happen again.
– We understand that you are happy with the people around you, but as an Öis player, you represent the association in all situations. We always expect all players in the federation to act professionally and respect their role as Öi football representative in all situations, he says.
Elias Gustafsson also broke the silence about his celebration of Behcken.
– The situation is a gesture of appreciation and support for my brothers. For me, these family relationships are invaluable. It’s a shame Gustafsson says this is seen as disloyalty to Öis when that’s not really the case.
Suspended against BP
He says he understands Ois supporters are frustrated.
– But I just want to assure that I have no ambition in any way to harm or provoke. I trained this morning and gave my all like I did all season and I will continue to do so.
Örgryte needs a point away from Brommapojkarna in the final round of the Premier League to secure the contract. Elias Gustafsson was suspended for that match, but not by Orgret but for too many yellow cards.
