Another victory – seasoned with a dream destination. And IFK Gothenburg have had their best start to the Premier Division for 21 years.
– Then we still have not played our best, says the hero Soren Rieks.
16 points after seven rounds. It has not happened since the spring of 1994 – in the midst of Blåvitts last heyday. So certainly look supporters at the table and enjoying the moment, although coach Lennartsson any fail.
– Everything becomes more the positive and energizing, and we want to be up there and does battle. But this is a marathon so we look preferably not too much on the table yet, says Jörgen Lennartsson.
Yesterday’s match looked as expected: The home side pressed high, had most of the ball, and put pressure on Falkenberg. Yet they had, according to statistics, not a single shot on target in the first half.
– We want to have a short passing game, but sometimes it gets a little too much. So it has been for me too far, this is the last pass that lacked quality, but I hope it comes off now, says Søren Rieks.
And there is reason to hope that. For 55 minutes, but Rieks who cracked zero when he calmly put the ball next to the pole root.
And in the 81 minutes the Dane decided the game in the grandest of ways: A perfectly weighted chip that found its way to the far cross and through the post went into the goal.
– I saw the goal on the screen and it’s like Jorgen said, it reminded Cantona says Rieks and smiles.
He was the center of attention after the game and just 2-0 goal was what everyone wanted to talk about.
– I did not really fit, but then I changed my mind. It was not a thought, but suddenly you do it just says Rieks.
The goals yesterday was his first of the year. Yes indeed, it was Rieks first points this season.
– Yes, it has taken time. Of course I practice and the other on it every day, it’s just to work on. To make a place like this goal is good for self-confidence.
IFK is the win really in the race for the SM-gold. And as I said, the points haul is the best in more than two decades.
– It’s the most important thing, that we get with us the score. We have five wins and one draw and one defeat – and yet we have not played our best. That’s good, says Rieks.
Jörgen Lennartsson also lacked sharpness in the penalty area in large parts of the game.
– We need to bee better on the last pass, the one that leads to scoring opportunity. There we have a bit to work on. But clearance gap behind with all that entails with games twists have taken great strides this year.
