Malmo. How do you celebrate as a Helsingborg player with a derby victory over Helsingborg in Helsingborg?
– Maybe I’ll go out to Helsingborg tonight. We’ll see, says MFF player Martin Olson after the 2-1 thriller.
Martin Olson It was clear before the derby that he didn’t feel he needed to keep a low profile ahead of the derby despite the fact that he lives in Helsingborg after moving to Malmo FF last summer.
– not at all. If I want to go out and have a coffee, I do. Fans who always get ahead are respectful. He told Sportbladet before his first Skåne derby on Monday in front of an audience of three years, it’s calmer than you think.
How does he do after winning the derby in injury time?
Threatening to leave in Helsingborg
Will you be sitting in Helsingborg Square tomorrow where everyone can see you?
– Maybe tonight, we’ll see, Olson smiles.
So it could be a way out tonight?!
– we will see. I’ve been thinking about it.
Which nightclub will it be next?
– (Laughter) It’s not good to say, is it? We will see what happens. I did not decide. It was great to win the derby.
“I thought it would be more provocative.”
Olsson, who was educated in football at Högaborgs BK in Helsingborg before becoming a youth professional at Blackburn, played for HIF 2020-21.
I got some swear words from HIF fans during the match – did you notice?
Did they not praise me?! Martin Olson just smiles.
– I thought it would be more exciting. I heard more from our fans today. Perhaps we will be even more excited when we meet in Olympia.
How did you feel in the minutes before kick-off, lining up there?
I tried to stay calm and keep my emotions in check. The coach told me not to be too aggressive because they wanted me to respond to something. I was thinking about the team and not going ugly and wearing early yellow.
Olson actually tried to finish the ball, but from an awkward position, and sent the ball to the far fans.
– She was very calm defensive. I didn’t have much of a challenge so I wasn’t able to go into any treatment right away.
