After Malmö FF secured their second straight Swedish Championship gold this weekend, thanks to a better goal difference than second place AIK, coach Jon Dahl Tomasson sent a pike to the Allsvenskan competitors who stirred up emotions. To Discovery + he said:
– If we did not have Europe, we would have won the series two months ago.
The comment, for example, made AIK star Alexander Milosevic look red.
– He talks after every match. There’s always something with him. When they do not get penalties then he takes one with him A4 paper with some fucking picture that it was punishment, but when they receive punishments that are not punishment, he does nothing, said Milosevic to Fotbollskanalen.
Now, ahead of Wednesday’s final Champions League match against Juventus, Tomasson explains his move.
– We have had many challenges this year. We enjoy playing many matches, we love it. And we love to show off in Europe. But there is no doubt that when you play many matches at a high level, it takes effort, says the Dane.
– We have had those challenges this year, but I think we have succeeded well with it. There is no doubt that if you play 14 more matches, at a high level, than other opponents, it makes things a little more difficult. But in general I think it has been very exciting at the top of the Allsvenskan this year.
He continues:
– The top has become wider and the other teams have taken more points. This year, there were four teams that were really up there at the top. It was really exciting and the situation gave excitement to the product itself, the Allsvenskan. I think that’s fun.
Juventus is already ready for promotion in the Champions League and Malmö will, regardless of results, finish last in the group.
In the interview above, Tomasson also gives his view on:
✓ Their own future in MFF.
✓ Why it is important to perform against Juventus.
✓ The setback that is “infinitely annoying”
C More and Telia broadcast Juventus-MFF, which kicks off at 18.45 on Wednesday.
