HÄLLEVIK Everyone wanted to speak to Jacob Bergstrom after Milan’s 1-1 draw with Malmö.
Then the central tank disappeared.
Sportbladet found him on the beach below Strandvallen.
– I have a pregnant wife who wanted to take a shower, the profile picture shows.
A concussion in the pre-season has kept Melby’s big character Jacob Bergstrom out of action until mid-July.
After five matches, the center tank made his first match of the start when Mjällby faced Malmö at a completely sold out Strandvallen Stadium (6000 spectators).
Just under an hour into the game, Bergstrom trailed Mialbe 1-0 when he dribbled around on the left flank, dribble over and hit the ball in front of goal as Victor Gustafsson jumped to the front after MFF’s Dennis Hadzikadyunek attempted it. Push the ball away.
Bergstrom played the entire match, which ended 1–1 after the MFF tied 1–0 for the home team shortly after the match, and then of course it was he who all the reporters wanted to talk to at Mjällby.
But then Bergstrom was no longer in Strandfalen.
– The men say he went into the sea and swam, says the press official to Melby.
Sure enough, the champion Mev had.
Unusually warm in the water
Sportbladet found Bergström, along with parts of his family, on his way from Hälleviksbadet just 300 meters from the track. He had to say goodbye to his family, give the car keys to his wife Sarah for a long time and stand up for an interview.
– I have a pregnant wife who wanted to take a shower. And then you have the privilege here to be able to swim for three minutes off the track. So it was a bath instead, he says with a laugh.
Still a bit strange after the Allsvenskan match.
– Yes, maybe a little special. It may not happen in all arenas and in all teams.
How was the water?
– It was really hot. It’s usually cold here, but the day was nice.
Did you go straight to the beach in your matching clothes?
No, I just wore training shorts.
‘I’ve made since I played League 4’
What do you say about the match and your effort?
– There were a lot of duels and I got out of my game. You always want more when you take the initiative. Too bad we couldn’t keep it together. But 1-1 is fine.
Nice job on the goal.
– They have done it since they played the fourth division in Ronneby. Then I did the same. It also works at this level. Glad Victor Gustafsson was there with bull neck and lead, grinning 27 year old.
Bergstrom enjoyed coming back from the start – and the team’s place at the table where you don’t have to look down anymore.
We don’t have any pressure on us. We are enjoying the moment we are in right now, just playing football and being together.
Heading inside Strandvallen now or are you going straight home?
– I’m going home right away. Now I’m sitting in the car a little cooler and I have an hour to go home. So it would be cool, concludes Bergstrom and looks for his wife in the parking lot.
In two weeks, it is calculated that they will become parents for the first time.
