Gothenburg / Stockholm. Roger Ronberg’s Children.
Linus Johansson mocked the opposing coach after Frolunda’s victory.
– They are very strong, they never lie down, says Färjestad’s team captain.
Frölunda drew 1-1 in matches against Färjestad on Sunday.
The heated quarterfinal series received many major topics of conversation and players who reportedly fall easily onto the ice became one of them.
Argument after the game
Frölunda coach Roger Ronberg brought it up after the first quarter-final as Andreas Borgmann’s tackle on Viktor Edsel resulted in a penalty in the match.
– We don’t like staying in Frölunda and then nothing will ever happen. That’s the system we have in place and we must continue to work with it,” Ronberg said.
In Sunday’s second quarter-final, Frölunda had three disposals early in the third period.
Cheap, Färjestad coach Thomas Mittel believes.
-Roger usually talks about them standing up, so maybe he was badly polished today, maybe sometimes. This is life, he says.
The irony of Ronberg
Färjestad’s captain, Linus Johansson, also made two passes to Roger Rönnberg and Frölunda.
– Anyway, it’s very nice to meet Frölunda, who never settles into close combat. Big Naughty Game, Roger Ronberg Boys. They are strong, they never lie down. I think it’s good to know in situations, Johansson tells Sportbladet.
Do you look a little sarcastic?
– Don’t curse. To Real Madrid. They are very strong, and they never lie down. So it’s really nice to know that you’re up against a team like that. I think so.
Ronnberg’s answer
Roger Runeberg admits that some of Frolunda’s Sunday expulsions were cheap. At the same time, he bit Thomas Mittel.
– I think it’s fantastically funny that Thomas, who is usually a calm and level-headed coach, is already feeling down after two games. I think it’s interesting to start talking about sending offs, referees and so on. Then we have somewhere that’s fine, Ronberg says.
