Interview with Jens Gustafsson – IFK Norrköping – Allsvenskan

Guldköping called the IFK manager before the match against Elfsborg on Monday, but talking about a lot of things did not matter with this match.

"Delayed four days before we could drive completely"
As usual in a coach interview, the conversation started with the way the position seems in the team.

– This is very excellent. Apart from Andreas Blomqvist, we had all the training during the week, so that's how it should be, says Jens Gustafsson.

Something that might have contributed to the malignancy seems so good that the team takes it safe before it's not safe and does not turn too hard with the players.

– The workout week was like this: we are usually still available two days after the match, as we were this week too. Then he will be the entire island on the training three days after the match. This week, because of the warmth of the match against Häcken, I think it was not a complete island three days after the match. It took four days before we could drive fully. We drove hard, Thursday and Friday. Then we are available today and we practice tomorrow (Sunday) before Monday's match, says the IFK manager for Guldköping, but not everyone is happy after the match.

"The day after the match, we still have a recovery pass, but those who have not started have a difficult training, that's how we set up the weeks."

Did you you worked on something special this week?
– In particular, we worked on our attack by a third party, then we work constantly to make as many decisions as possible so as not to remain stagnant or absent in the game but we do it every week, so it's not something special – the last third and the defense game, that's what made this week's subject. [19659004] What did you bring from Häckenmatchen?
– The match as a whole was perhaps the most stable effort we have made during the year. We had very few discharges and we seemed to have a strong self-confidence as

The same day as the local team faced Häcken, the football world cup was settled, where France finally won the gold. IFK Norrköping was influenced and influenced by the championship, but above all the obvious question to Jens:

Have you followed the championship?
– Yes, said Jens and sighs a little deformed, I can say that I did it.

It is clear that Jens Gustafsson thought and analyzed at home on the television couch when he liked the summer championship.

"Overall, it was clear that you needed a lot of offensive players who can knock out their old man and their team with their way of acting, to make him silly." I thought the Brazil was the team with the most players who had the qualities.It was also the team that, in my opinion, was the best played.If the World Cup had been played over several innings, if it was a series, Brazil would have won.I would like to say that anyway.The team is working very hard and there are no players who are not doing their best for the The defense game is very strong in most teams, however, many offensive players must be decisive for the team that attacks more, says Jens about his impressions of the World Cup.

Jens explains that he and the rest of the team are taking things and inspiring the championship.
– Yes, of course we do. We see what happens and so on. This World Cup has given us more motivation to continue on IFK, because I think we are pretty well in our thinking about development and the future if we reflect it with the World Cup.

"Gives a lot of inspiration on how to improve"
Maths Elfvendahl and Dale Reese are working in addition to IFK Norrköping, also with the team with Janne Andersson. Psychologist Daniel Ekwall, who has worked with Beijing, is also assisting the national team. This means that these people are missing in Norrköping during certain periods.

"We have to succeed in getting the leaders out and it's obviously negative not to have all the leaders in place, but the benefit we think is important is what happens when the leaders come back and have been so close with the # 39, inspiration and experience They go home. That's what we can all share and learn, which is positive. The experiences that these people are returning home reflect the fact that they left during certain periods. We take this shot because we know that it gives a lot of inspiration on how we can go even better, "says Jens Gustafsson
.

Even a player from IFK Norrköping. To know the Costa Rican Ian Smith, participated in the World Cup.

– There are times when the player did nothing in connection with a national team leader. They rarely go better, but the World Cup was far and Ian had to play a role. Before the World Cup, he played and he had to jump in the last game. We know that he has developed a lot. Especially when he is as young as a player and a person like Ian, this experience is to represent his country in a World Cup, very big for the future, so it was a good lesson for Ian, explains Jens Gustafsson

"Do not expect us to sail"
As part of the match against Häcken, it became clear that Beijing defender Linus Wahlqvist is moving into the German second division team Dynamo Dresden

"He is a good player and a good person. A player who has always sacrificed to the team rather than the opposite, which makes him a loser. We have been prepared for this for a while, so I think we are still pretty strong. I do not expect that we can soak because of it. I can say that the words I just described to Linus are what has been decisive for all the players who have left the IFK. That they realized that it is the team that has to go first and then the own development of the individual. This is the most important signal to give to all players. If you dream of moving from where you are today, you must understand that football is a team game and that it is the team that is the strongest. Jens Gustafsson answers the question of how IFK will be affected by this sale.

Do you think that's a good step for Linus?
– I think it's a very ripe decision of Linus to choose this particular step and just this club. It's like it's a stage where he has every chance of succeeding in a good way.

"A very good rating"
The second change in the troop that took place during the summer window is that Eric Smith was sold and replaced by the return home, including including the golden hero Alexander Fransson. The Beijing manager thinks that the game can be affected by the rockade.

"It certainly can change because there are two different types of games, I think that at the end of the spring season Simon Thern and Eric have found a very good collaboration, now hopefully we hope and we expect everyone to do the same, but as said, the game itself will change, just because everyone has different Eric features, says Jens, but he does not want to change the positive or negative change.

"I do not want to compare that because there are two different players, but IFK Norrköping and Norrköping as a city may be attractive for that Alexander Fransson already going home, so early in his career, it's a very good grade. This is a great football player who has multiple switches to evolve. It will end very well. I am on.

Goaltender David Mitov Nilsson has been back for a while, but he's not really back in top form.
– He looks better and better. He was often absent during the season and even in the spring. Now I can not specify the dates, but I imagine that Mitov has been running for a month and a half. He had been gone for at least three months. He needs more time.

When do you think it can compete seriously on the starting point of the goal?
There are no dates yet, but it's about giving Mitov time to feel stable and strong before he can Enter and participate properly again . We let it take the time it takes, given the story of Mitov too.

Daniel Sjölund has been one of Beijing's most important players for several seasons, but this season he has spared the spell time. Nevertheless, his role in the team seems quite important.
"It is true that he has not played so much, which may not be so strange given his age and that we have recruited players to the place where Daja plays." it completely fulfills its role in IFK Norrköping, it is completely C & # 39; s great to always do its best and always be well prepared and to make sure to come when the opportunity arises There is not much to say about this, but it does a good job.

"It will be a good match"
On Monday, IFK Norrköping plays Östgötaporten against IF Elfsborg .
"Another tough match against an Elfsborg who has done well in the end and not lost for a long time, they have made good matches, are strong and have a lot of good players." It's an opponent that can be compared to Häcken's quality, even though he's playing in different ways, says Jens before the match.

-Elfsborg had a tough start to the season, but they now have the order. Given this, this will be a good match, then I have not thought of previous meetings that were difficult and I would have no impact on this game, I think very little.

Do you have any ideas on the starting line?
Most of the time, the competition is tough so it's always difficult to take the starting line as does IFK Norrköping.This always means that someone who deserves to play can not start the match.We have also realized en route that many games where we finished well were very many thanks to the fact that we have such a solid bench. It is very important for us to have the opportunity to make the kind of change that can change the image of the match, "concludes Jens.
