Häcken, AIK, Malmö FF and European games await.
But first, Djurgården must beat the Degerfors – they lost last year.
– If we take the pace from European matches, they won’t stand a chance, says Victor Edvardsen.
The national team break came just in time for Djurgarden. Hajlmar Akdal Gustav Wykem has recovered from injuries and thus the entire team, with the exception of the long-term injured Elliot CakeReady for intense weeks.
The league leaders will be absent from Ghent, Haken, Gent, AIK and Malmö FF in a two-week period. But first, Dijerfors awaits at Stora Falla where Djurgården lost last year.
– it’s hard. No easy match, especially on turf. All matches will now be final. Hjalmar Ekdal says, it doesn’t matter who you meet.
“I can’t count on me”
When the two teams met last year, it was like that Victor Edwardson Who drowned Djurgaarden with both goals, and now stands on the other side.
– I have many friends there and it will be special. But once you get there and hop off the bus, the whole focus is on getting three points, says Edwardson, who has no problem pushing the Degerfors closer to landing.
They put themselves in this situation and can’t count on me not doing my job and saving them. But I know what it’s like to be in their situation and they’ll tag them 110 percent when a big team comes to visit. But we are showing that we are the best in Sweden now and if we do what we have to do, we will win the match.
What is important to you?
– To do what we do every week. It sounds boring, but don’t put your finger on anything, run until you are exhausted and play the football we want to play and let the ball go fast. If we take the pace we have from the European matches, they won’t stand a chance. It is necessary to switch from the beginning.
I started with yoga
Edvardsen drowned IFK Göteborg with a hat-trick last time out. After the match, the striker said that he began to meditate. Now he has also added yoga to his training schedule.
You can do what your body says you need. A little extra help here and nothing wrong. It was a lot of fun so I will continue to do so.
Yoga and Meditation…
– I didn’t think so a few years ago, but you’re improving every day. As long as you can get help with good means to get better, you’ll want to do it.
Djurgården leads Allsvenskan by one point over Häcken and six points over Hammarby with eight games remaining.
– It’s the first time I’ve been in this situation and I don’t think too much about others, I think more about what I can do to win matches. You have people around you who annoy you and eliminate you for not thinking about it and thinking about the right things. If you haven’t had it, you may have thought about who’s behind it, but I’m just focused on performance, says Edvardsen.
