Uppsala. Sirius had a 0-10 goal difference in three games and received harsh criticism.
Now the team has two consecutive victories and is sixth in the table.
– Mustafa Zeidan says, we needed to raise and show that we are not that bad and we did.
After Allsvenskan started with two wins and a cross pass, Sirius ended up in a real slump. In three matches, the team conceded ten goals back and did not score any attackers.
After a 0-4 away game against Djurgorden, the criticism was harsh. But the victory over Elfburg, Sirius now has two consecutive victories and a 4-0 goal difference.
– We’ve been through a difficult period. There were many who thought and thought about what Sirius did after we lost to Djurgården. That’s right, I’m not saying that, we didn’t do well enough. The coach says it’s great to reverse that trend and says something about what the group is doing Daniel Backstrom.
‘It ended up in a dream’
Sirius took the lead in the 57th minute after Christian Kwaku led 1-0. Then Aaron Bjarnason increased to 2-0 after six minutes and Tommy Vaio was again in goal.
– I see Helburg gets the ball. He looked at me and put a good high ball and I ended up in a dream position on the left edge. Then I pull out and try to find the first post, which is a good target, says Kwaku of the main goal and continues:
The stats don’t lie, it was bad, but it’s very strong to come back. These two are not easy games. We have been taught that we have quality in the group.
“The same people who praise”
Mustafa Zidan is following the same path.
Fantastic team effort. We stick to a playground. We know how to play and have not fallen into their trap. We needed to raise and show that we’re not that bad and we did.
How have you been affected by criticism?
It’s so much fun when you’re criticized because it’s the same people who praise once things are going well. There are no problems for us. We think it’s more fun and of course they want to refute that we are a good team.
What did you do to change it?
– We were a little more tactical, maybe we weren’t naive. We are humble and do what we are supposed to do.
