After six straight losses, AIK chose to dismiss both the athletic director and coaching staff.
Now the new trio is in place, but there are only two on the field.
The club needs my help and then I try to fix it, says club icon Nebojsa Novakovic.
It is early morning on Skytteholm. It’s been two days since the derby lost against Djurgården when AIK players entered the artificial turf.
But unlike then, it’s a whole new leadership team about the team.
Right now we only have one training but I think they balance each other well. Michael Nelson feels like a beautiful person, go, go, go. Jesper Björk is more analytical and stays a bit in the background but does come with a built-in. I think it could be good, says Norden.
I’m just going to do matches
But there is one person missing from Norden’s analysis.
When AIK introduced the new lineup, it was another name. Club icon.
Found in the highest stands. Without being involved in training, he sits and watches. Nebojsa Novakovic.
– It’s a lot of energy. You can see that the players want to do a lot in a short time. They want to show the coaches that they have to play. It is a very positive energy.
The fact that Novakovic was present at training this morning was an exception. This is not how it will look in the future. The AIK icon itself tells about the setting.
– Jesper Bjork and I have worked together a lot at the academy and he’s in charge with me. He will hold training sessions with the assistant. My bet is just matches. I will be available when they play matches and try to make sure we win.
This is what the club management thinks is the best. I have to be around the team when the game is on. I feel this is my strength. I love when it’s hard. When it’s hard.
Do everything for AIK
When the question of stepping in and taking over the women’s team arose, Novakovic had no doubts, who clearly sees this as a short-term solution.
– does not exist. When AIK needs my help, just say yes. There is no way I can say no. If AIK needs my help no matter what the job. If they want me to sell tickets, I’ll sell tickets.
Now waiting for an intense week. Eskilstuna’s first away game on Thursday and then a six-point game against BP in Skateholm on Monday.
It’s easy to say we should turn it around, but when you end up in this circle, no matter what you do, you lose. Can’t talk about bad luck. We need to work well together now and reduce errors.
After losing the derby, Jenny Danielson felt that all the gods were against Ike now. That everything goes straight.
– What always gives the truth is the table. This is the case when you have to play. We know we only got one win. We have six losses in a row. this is the truth. All the others are talking about being better. This is not a good talk. We must show that we are the best. We can already do that on Thursday.
