Alexander Geremjeev refused, and “Tut” Neiman took his place.
Then he handed him over to sink Finland.
– An incredibly good player, says Mikael Lustig at C More.
The January tour is an opportunity to test new players, and in Monday’s match against Finland, national team captain Jan Andersson chose to give eight newcomers a chance from the start.
But it was the “veteran” who decided – 30-year-old Christopher “Tot” Niemann, whom Jan knew well from his time at IFK Norrköping.
His goal came in the 38th minute when Yassine Ayari of AIK scored it 1-0 from just outside the penalty area.
It was Neiman’s second national team goal, and his first of 2018.
Tut is a good player. He’s a little bit injury prone, but once he’s healthy, he’s an incredibly good player, says Mikael Lustig at C More.
He was called up as a substitute
From the start, the idea wasn’t to get Tutt Neimann involved. After Allsvenska fired King Alexander Gerimjev’s refusal, he was recalled.
The reason for Yeremjev’s refusal was that the January round is being played at a critical point in the transfer window.
He said – I feel I don’t have the opportunity to move on and perform in the way I would like to do justice to myself.
“One might wonder…”
It’s a questionable decision in retrospect, says Sea Moore expert Olof Lunde.
– There are scouts on site here watching the match. One might wonder if Jeremejeff, who started winter training with Häcken today, would have a better chance (to promote himself) by scoring goals here than running around Häcken training, but that will be evident now during January, he says. .
Sweden won the match against Finland 2-0. Freshman Joel Asuro scored the 2-0 goal in the final seconds of the match.
On Thursday Blagoult plays a new match against Iceland.
