SOUTHERN TALE. Lucas Bergvall showed himself properly before the move to Tottenham.
He was behind four goals and scored a solo goal.
– A little Zlatan trick, says Bergvall.
Djurgården defeated Nordic United 5-0 at the Södertälje football arena and got themselves in a good position to advance to the quarter-finals of the Swedish Cup.
The organizer behind Djurgården’s victory was Lucas Bergvall.
Two goals and one assist
Bergvall was involved in the preparatory work when Rasmus Schüller scored the lead goal in the fourth minute and seven minutes later he scored himself when he was cleared in the penalty area.
In the second half, Bergvall put on a real show.
He turned and twisted the ball in the penalty area before angling it to Deniz Hümmet who made it 3–0.
Standing ovations
Just before he was replaced to a standing ovation in the 72nd minute, Bergvall was responsible for a solo raid. He drove the ball from his own half and dribbled away several players before rolling in 4–0.
– I received a pass from “Mackan” (Marcus Danielson) in the middle. I turned up and then it was just driving. I got past 2-3 players, did a little Zlatan trick and put it in. It was a nice goal, says Bergvall.
Goal of the year in the Swedish Cup?
– I haven’t seen all the goals but maybe so far, absolutely!
“Incredible talent”
There was a lot going on around Bergvall after the match. Both children, adults, supporters and guards jostled in Bergvall and wanted to take pictures.
– It is incredibly fun to play football. It’s the best I know, he says himself about the resurrection.
Albin Ekdal made his competitive debut for Djurgården and pays tribute to Bergvall.
– Incredible talent he shows today. He is showing that he is worth the money that Tottenham bought him for. So it will be exciting to follow him and play with him for a few months before he flies off to Europe. He has a great future, says the former national team player.

“I am satisfied”
Djurgården won 5–0, even though Haris Radetinac was forced to step in as goalkeeper in the last quarter.
– A good match from our side. We dominate the first 20 and score two goals. Then we have a slump but in the second half we completely dominate and score three goals, says Bergvall.
There was nothing to complain about when it came to the own performance either.
– I am satisfied with my effort, I make 2+1 and I am very satisfied with the team in general. We have increased. We had a bit of a tough time in the pre-season but we are building and continuing on this track, so it will be great.
