Robin Olsen was attacked on the field, the Swedish Cup final was stormed and in France the Bengals were thrown at the players.
Now the national team wants to see an end to public scandals.
– I hope they will have more difficulty next season, says Lille’s Gabriel Gudmundsson.
After Malmö FF won the cup final against Hammarby, the team’s fans stormed the field and tried to get away from the heel of the MFF celebrating on the other short side.
The police had to intervene with dogs and avoid the clash.
There has also been concern elsewhere in European football.
Robin Olsen was attacked after Manchester City won the Premier League title and his fans stormed the pitch. In France, scenes of a major scandal occurred this weekend when Saint-Etienne left Ligue 1 after losing in the playoffs to Auxerre. Angry fans broke into the plans and several Bengals were thrown at the players who escaped into the player tunnel.
– There have been some turmoil this season, sad of course. Lills says he doesn’t belong on the football field at all Gabriel Gudmundsson During the national team meeting and continues:
– It might be necessary for me to do a tighter grip, a few guards, etc., but it’s hard to say on my part.
“They just ruined the game.”
In an article in DN, the Swedish football elite said they see things thrown on the field at Allsvenskan to a much greater degree than before.
Hammarby’s Edvin Kurtulus, who is attending his first national team rally, wants it to finish.
– Of course it’s sad because it’s not something we want. It just destroys the game. We are very grateful that we have very good pressure and so many fans, but to throw things away we have to ignore and support our teams instead of ruining the match.
– I can just urge all the fans not to throw things and watch the match and have fun.
Federation captain Jan Anderson wants to see a change, too.
Our safety should be the top priority when it comes to matches. I think it is very, very sad that this happened. We have to sharpen and make sure that kind of thing doesn’t happen, he says and continues:
– If you go into the field to attack other people, that’s fine. I hope we can get rid of him as soon as possible in football because he doesn’t belong.
