Färjestad fell heavily in the fifth final.
And Linus Johansson was upset with Brendan Scheinnemann.
– I might lower my head and take a penalty at him instead, says the Färjestad captain.
No, Färjestad did not manage to grab the third match in Lulea. The host team won 4-0 and now Färjestad must win two games in a row to secure Sweden’s championship gold.
The first half was scoreless and Linus Johansson was happy with the Färjestad game then.
– The first is great, the best we’ve done here. They don’t really get the space to do what they’re good at. Then they got 1-0 and took full control of the second half. In the third we have good positions to get 1-1, but then they get 2-0 and then we have to take the chance.
Something did not work.
Lulia scored two more goals and after the last signal, Linus Johansson spoke for a long time with the referees. The reason was the situation there Brendan Shinemin drove on johansson:
“I just asked what to do”
– I only saw Luleåbacken and then I saw him (Shinnimin) at the last minute and only then try to protect myself if I’m being honest.
What did you say to the judge?
– I just asked about this situation. I think there are two players standing there and then coming from the side and maybe wanting to slap me. I just asked what I should do next time so I know it, says Linus Johansson.
What was your answer then?
– I don’t know. I’ll have to lower my head and take a penalty against him (Shinmin) instead.
