The Players Council receives a large mandate
Malmo. MFF was acquired by Åge Hareide.
Now he gives the Players Council a major role when the crisis is reversed.
– I will sit down with the players’ council and ask how they want to play, says the Norwegian.
Åge Hareide back to sprain Malmo FF When he now takes charge of the squad until the end of the season, he has already started against Braga in Thursday’s Europa League opener.
But the Norwegian is, of course, determined that he can overturn the blue ship.
But how will he do that? In record time too?
– The last time I had a whole winter. Now I have a day, as Hared himself said.
Do you have time to change a team in such a short time?
– Usually not. But I’ll try. All I can.
Meet the Players Council tonight
But at today’s press conference, he was able to say something about how he wanted to get MFF back on the right track.
– It will be a slightly straighter game, a faster game moving forward.
It’s not been 48 hours since sporting director Daniel Anderson, 68, was called up and asked if he could take on the MFF.
Then he immediately sat down and began to study Braga.
– I told Daniel and Jorgson (sports director) how I want to play against Braga. They agreed with me and now we’re going to go to the players’ council and tell them what to do. Then they go to the team and say what we should do. Then we’ll go over each individual role tomorrow.
Hared had already booked a meeting with the analysis team and another with the Players Council this evening.
For some reason, the MFF management wants to keep secret who sits on the players council. But they are “the experienced guys on the team and maybe someone else tonight,” according to Jorgson.
The Norwegian should have a clear picture of how the MFF will face Braga, which he will give to the Players Council. But the “experienced gentlemen” will have a lot more to say in the little long run.
Because when asked how much he would like to change, Hared replied:
It depends a little on the players. First, I’ll sit down with the players’ board and ask “How do you want to play? What’s the most comfortable thing for you?”. Then I’ll install it together afterwards. We have to define the roles of the players and make them understand them. Herein lies the biggest challenge for me.
“He looked dead”
Hareide talks a lot and loves to share roles, which may be why he was immediately successful when he took charge of the team, which FotbollSkåne showed on Tuesday with the stats.
– I came up with a simple and clear idea of how I wanted it. I came to the conclusion that players want clear and unambiguous information about what to do. Then I make demands that are big, but not unreasonably high that players can’t handle, he says.
Last but not least, Hareide must, of course, inject energy into his playing team and management team.
– We’ll get more spray. But it must also come from within, everyone has to contribute. In recent matches not least against Elfsburg. He looked a little dead.
Hareide doesn’t want to talk about the MFF’s sporting/tactical problem under Georgeson. But he likes to highlight the first leg against Sivasspor at the other end of the scale.
– It was a tactical victory. Then I played wisely and rationally. Scoring in Europe will also be required. And we will achieve it, says Hured emphatically.
