MFF Nations European rescue after Allsvenskan flop – Cup – Football Channel

National Championships and Champions League games in two consecutive years. But Malmo FF have failed in the headlines for years.

After Sunday’s 2-1 loss away against AIK has MFF nine points up to third place, with three rounds left to play. This means that in all probability they will not take one of the three Europe-places for next year.

Now, instead Swedish Cup which is Malmö’s way into Europe.

– Yes exactly. So it says right defender Anton Tinnerholm for Soccer Channel.

First, the MFF defeat Götene IF in qualifying for Cup group stage in November. Then wait as the group stages in March and then remains quarterfinals, semifinals and finals in the spring. Would the sky take home the tournament, then rewarded with a place in the Europa League qualifiers.

– Of course, we have it in our own hands is a cup that comes in that case, said central defender Rasmus Bengtsson.

MFF captain Markus Rosenberg:

– It will be tough (to become third). We must aim for the cup instead.

The goalkeeper Johan Wiland has not entirely given up a Europe-place via the league yet.

– It becomes harder and harder when we do not win our matches. We have three games left that we must win and we will see what happens, says Wiland.

Otherwise, it is well-Cup apply?
– There are always a second chance, yes. That we take in this case.

Wiland is otherwise disappointed with his and the team’s effort against AIK.

– The first goal may not happen in såanda these games, but it does he says self-critically.

– They get an easy first goal, which I give to them, then it will be tough and we will have an uphill battle. But we do 1-1 and then they get a pissmål they should not get. Then we work uphill again, says Wiland.
