Joy in Djurgården after progressing in the Conference League.
But now waiting for a long flight to Romania.
We would have preferred to skip it, says Victor Edwardsen.
Isaac Hein and Emmanuel Banda scored in Djurgården’s 2-0 win over Croatia’s Rijeka at Tele2 Stadium. The club’s eighth consecutive championship victory for Stockholm, who has now advanced to the third qualifying round of the European Conference League.
Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe from Romania is waiting there. The winner will reach the playoffs – the last hurdle before the group stage in the fall.
Djurgården starts the double meeting away from home next week, and Victor Edwardson I mean, it’s not a dream travel destination.
– I heard the trip there wouldn’t be fun. I think the airport was four hours away from where we were going to play. It was the nearest airport. So it will be long days, the striker tells Sportbladet.
“Business trip for them too”
Haris Radetinac Fills:
– I’ve been told it’s not a pleasant trip. It is a little far from the airport to the city we are going to. But it’s the same shit. They’ll also come here, so it’s just a matter of going there and having a good match, he says and continues:
– Don’t complain. You must go and enjoy the European game. If the journey is difficult for us, it is an arduous journey for them as well.
As of now, Radetinac does not have any additional information on the Romanian Sepsi team.
– of course not. I know they are from Romania and we met Cluj two years ago. The 36-year-old says it’s probably the same kind of football and then you know how to prepare.
“It would be really cool with a free weekend”
After a period of an intense match schedule, Djurgården will not be playing all of Svenska’s matches this weekend. So Blue Stripes can focus on the trip to Romania next week.
The first three and a half hours by plane, then four hours by bus. It was better to skip it. Edvardsen says it will be fun with more European matches and adds:
– Above all, it would be nice to have a free weekend now. I won’t go out of the house.
