Malmo. MFF chases down one goal from the first Champions League qualifier against Zalgiris.
Before heading home tomorrow, Wednesday, Ola Toivonen and Johan Dahlin are convinced to come forward.
– It’s just a matter of getting the first goal and the Lithuanians will shake, says Ola Toivonen.
Game-wise, good performances at Allsvenskan during the last rounds, but it’s a shame that Mahamé Siby will miss the rest of the season.
Before meeting Zelgiris narrates Ola Toivonen And the Johann Dahlin About the impression that the Frenchman managed to make in a short time.
– He’s done a great job since he came here and he’s been in the game better and better. In the dressing room, he entered very quickly, so this obviously meant a lot. At the same time, we have other players who could take that place, says Dahlin.
Ola Toivonen:
Heavy, of course, with the injury. Milos and the administration were looking for six materialists, and they found him. There is clearly a gap to be filled, so we have to play a little differently, he says and continues on about Sippy:
– Maybe we can visit him at the hospital and send a text.
You just have to try to be there, you can’t do more, says Johann Dahlin.
“I feel like he’s a good old man.”
At the stadium, they chase an individual deficit, and before the match, 14,000 tickets have been sold at the time of writing. Football conditions are ideal, while Ola Toivonen does not think much about external factors such as the level of refereeing.
– I don’t know, I have changed during my career and become calmer over the years, so when the referee blows, the ignition begins. It wouldn’t be a problem, he says and continues:
– During your career, you’ve come across many characters as judges, so it’s easy. You’ll notice after three or four minutes if a good old or arrogant man doesn’t want to talk and just gestures instead. Then it is necessary to adapt accordingly.
The veteran stresses the importance of staying calm for 90 minutes.
Balance is important. In some games we are good at it, in others we are not patient enough. There won’t be any frustration, it’s just a matter of scoring the first goal and the Lithuanians will rock.
So there is no danger of someone hovering over billboards just to test judgment?
– I don’t think so, says Ola Toivonen and smiles.
