"So it's better that I lose"

Gif Sundsvall was reaffirmed at Sunday's meeting with AIK. The home team was lucky enough to get more than 50,000 spectators for its twelfth gold medal – and eagerly cheated what the fabric was holding.

Sundsvall however managed thanks to a fantastic match of goalkeeper William Eskelinen and a small round to draw 0-0.

After the match, Sundsvall coach Joel Cedergren criticized the efforts of his team.

"We went here to show how good we are and how to make a good performance, hopefully win the match, but I do not think we are good, AIK is clearly better than us and will win the match.

According to Cedergren, he and the team were taken a little off the bed because of Norling's tactical choices.

"They allow us, I think we had a good plan to try to find surfaces against AIK, but they came out completely different and scored three of our players, it became a completely different match than what we thought we were fighting a little bit there AIK man man is better than what we manage to manage We have a hard time losing the pressure and getting a game organized In the defense they push us down and there they are heavy with I do not know how much they have a chance, but there are many of them.

– Content of the score? No really not. Neither with the score nor the performance. A great setting and what a great audience to play this game. I had hoped we would have even more.

At the end of the press conference, Cedergren and Norling took the hands, after which the coach said "sorry" to his fellow coach.

"Yes," Cedergren told the football channel after the press conference

Did you feel that you had to apologize?
"Yes, but what should I do and do if I'm going to play like this?" So it's better that I lose on this subject. No, I'm disappointed.

The feeling was that you stole it from AIK?
– Yes, that 's what I felt. We wanted to come here and show how good we are and we are not better than that. But that does not take away their performance.
