The injury tormented him.
Otherwise, John Guidetti is satisfied with his average goals and performance.
– Can I put the bike against Sirius? Yes, but then I would probably have played for Real Madrid, he says after the win against Helsingborg.
Hard ice packs on the heels after each match. John Gidity He doesn’t brag about his injury problems. It is a constant suffering that he has to suffer.
– It hurts all the time. But .. mercy for those who surrender. I will do my absolute best to never give up.
Nobody can accuse Gedity of doing that. Although injury problems are reduced, the striker wants to play as much as possible.
“So we weren’t going to take any risks.”
Coach Henok Goitom made it clear that Gedi should be allowed to play if he himself feels ready, and the 30-year-old emphasized that playing time does not aggravate the heel injury.
– Not a problem. It’s just a pain. If there is a risk that I will suffer a long-term injury, we will not take that risk. So we deal with it within weeks. I work hard and come on days even when we’re out to fix everything. I want to play and do my best to help the team and be available for selection, he says and continues:
It is not such an injury that would require surgery. Heels “love” movement, too. You just have to load it the right way. Then it is not better to switch between roofs, artificial turf and turf. But I bite the bullet.
Just missed an opportunity
After a cannon shot against Helsingborg, Guedetti has now scored a total of four goals in an AIK jersey. Three in the Allsvenskan and one in the European qualifiers. In Allsvenskan, he scores a goal every 167 minutes and all four hits are the ends of the line. Although he has had to put up with some spitting and spitting since his comeback, he is still happy with his offensive play. My goodness was effective when given a chance.
– Before, I was young and naive. Now I’ve learned my own limits. What I can not. I’m very good at finishing the competition. And since I came to Sweden, I haven’t missed many qualifying opportunities.
Gedetti silently counts on himself and quickly submits his matches in his head.
– I remember only one chance. The end of the left wing in Europe where the goalkeeper calmly saves. Then I felt ‘Damn, you should have been better there, you should have scored there’. Other than that, I will probably lay out the opportunities that I will identify.
“I tried to score from the bench for four years”
The key is that your teammates put you in more situations?
– That’s what we’re working for. But it’s also the hardest thing in football, to score goals. But it’s hard to create goalscoring opportunities when you go into the final third.
– Look at Manchester City. Now I certainly don’t compare us to City, I’m not really, but they make it look so easy to get high scoring chances. But it is very difficult. They get chances to score even though the opponents have eleven men in their penalty area.
So it can’t be a disaster.
The attacking star for AIK also notes that playing time was scarce during the fall. The fact that he hasn’t scored before the Liberal League match since the derby match against Hammarby in August is mainly due to the absence of injury, according to Guidetti. If you sit on the bench, you won’t be able to get done.
– This was my second start since Bajin. I jumped for twenty minutes in one game and fifteen minutes in another. Like this: I tried to score from the bench for four years in Spain, but I didn’t like it. I tried it for four years, Gedetti says with a wide smile.
– I’m still satisfied with the performance against Sirius last time. I don’t have any turnover and I’m still making three or four good chances. Can I put the bike against Sirius? Yes, but then maybe I would have played for Real Madrid. If you put it ten times out of ten, it would be great.
Now Gediti, who was relaxed and contented in the mixed zone, is looking forward to the end of the Allsvenskan.
– Now against Helsingborg we win fairly. We do incredibly well as a group. stay together. It’s windy all the time (in AIK) but it’s not a shame anyway. If we do well against Djurgården, which we have all the conditions to win, we are only one point behind. And Djurgarden went like a train. So it couldn’t be such a disaster…
