Malmö. Hugo Larsson received Christmas Eve movie clips from Henrik Rydström.
For Isaac Kiese Thelin, the phone rang when he was at Erdal Rakip’s wedding.
Pontus Jansson sends clips to Rydstrom.
– It’s a good way to work out, says MFF’s new trainer.
The former Sirius and Kalmar coach sat in Malmö IP’s indoor stadium and asked Johnny Videl for protection.
2,712 MFF fans were present at the first training show for the club’s men’s and women’s teams, and it all started with a thunderous and colorful fireworks display that could be heard and seen in large parts of Malmö.
Are you afraid of bullets?
– yes. It was all nice, but I was stationed on an army howitzer. I told them I was afraid of bullets and reassigned me to the practice reserve, Rydstrom says after practice ends Monday night.
– The reception says it all about the fans and the interest that surrounds Malmö FF. It would have been one thing if it had been three great seasons. Now is the last year that Malmö FF did not expect. The packing was now great.
Rydstrom effect?
– No, for fn! He says firmly, I don’t think so at all.
New section revealed
Earlier on Monday, MFF star Hugo Larsson said from the national team’s camp in the Algarve, Portugal, that he received video clips from his new coach when Donald Duck appeared on TV on Christmas Eve.
Just before Malmö FF training started at Malmö IP on Monday night, new acquisition Taha Ali was introduced to the fans.
Has Taha Ali received any TV clips from you yet?
Rydström doesn’t really understand the question before elaborating on Hugo Larsson’s testimony about the coach’s Christmas gift.
– Aha, now I understand. Yes it is true. We spoke on the phone on Christmas Eve, Hugo and I. I don’t keep track of the days.
Taha hasn’t received anything yet. He’s a player with great potential, but we’ll have to deliver a lot of clips as well. But he realizes that. Henrik Rydstrom says he didn’t score many points.
– Danne (Andersson) might think it was an expensive deal, but it would have been even more expensive (if Ali had scored more points).
According to Sportbladet’s information, Malmö FF pays more than eight million crowns to the former HIF player and the amount will be even greater if the various bonus conditions are met.
– I missed such players in my team before, except for then (Stefano) Vecchia. Taha can beat his old man and then we’ll help shape the other stuff like things in the defensive game, but I’m not worried about that.
We’ll solve that in a lot of clips…
Ali will not change
But you will not underestimate Taha Ali from Taha Ali?
– No, and it is very important that you take it with you. He will do what he does. He must not hit the ball backwards or play the wrong way.
Rydstrom details the movie clips he sends to the players.
It was the same with Hugo Larsson. I often give them what they’re already good at so they can do more. It just seems like negative clips. Not.
How many players did you cut their hair on Christmas Eve?
– I’ve talked to all the guys. Some got injured. I sat down one Saturday night and sent some videos to Isaac Kizzy Thelin around 10:30pm.
– Then he was at Erdal Rakib’s wedding. Isaac examined them and gave his observations at midnight.
After dessert?
– I think he went earlier to check the syllables, says Rydström with a smile.
– I think it’s a great way to work. Sometimes you find something on Twitter and then you can submit it. I really feel that the players want to improve and that they are interested.
MFF band is very big
Henrik Rydström has to do that when he gets involved individually with the players. At the moment, Malmö FF A’s squad consists of more than 30 players.
In addition, returnees such as crowd favorites Pontus Jansson and Philip Hilander could be on their way in the summer when the duo’s contracts with Brentford and Glasgow Rangers respectively expire.
How many people do you want on the team?
– 35 is a lot. It is difficult to create a unified feeling. I think it was a major Achilles heel last year. There were many who did not feel that they had passed. When you don’t, it’s easy to ignore.
– I won’t say what the appropriate number is other than that it should be less.
What are you doing to make Pontus Jansson announce his future as soon as possible?
– no thing. He is very interested in Malmö FF. Speaking of clips, he can send it to me and ask. Now Brentford beat Liverpool and have a lot of ideas in a funny way, says Rydstrom.
– I do not participate in the other part (about the negotiations). I know that Daniel Andersson and Andreas Georgsson handle it very well. Pontus will one day come home to the MFF when he feels he is ready.
