First home loss came against Elfsborg – Gothenburg Post

Hacken was undefeated at Gamla Ullevi. Then came Elfsborg visit.

– Heavy. What to say? asks new signing Gunnar Heidar Thorvaldsson.

Hacken: 0
Elfsborg: 2

And the team from Hisingen had a borås ideal mountain to climb after just over half an hour. In the 27th minute pushed Viktor Prodell up 1-0 in a messy situation after a corner. Barely ten minutes later was Martin Ericsson and fipplade with the ball outside his own penalty, which paved the way for Viktor Claesson who got a petpass and splashed into 2-0 with a heavy shot from the penalty line.

– This is an area that looks very simple. I do not know if they make a basketball blocks so that some of our players do not arrive or what happened, analyze Häcken coach Peter Gerhardsson.

– Then Martins mismatch great individual mistakes, it puts us in a difficult position of course.

Ericsson’s mistake was quite appealing for the day. The midfielder and his teammates hit away easy balls in the plural.

– I have not been here that long, but we have atleast never hit so many mismatch since I got here, says Thorvaldsson.

But in all honesty was not much sharper Elfsborg forward, but backward stable. Gerhardsson acted with a double already in half. Nasiru Mohammed and Samuel Gustafsson replaced Bjorn Anklev and Oscar Lewicki.

– Nasiru and Samuel has performed well for some time and I felt they were the right players to come in, we needed to change. Then what I took out was more tactical, Bear and Oscar was not worse than any other, says Hacken coach.

With just two trades on goal in the first half, it was the new acquisition Thorvaldsson, who made his first match from the start of the hedge, quite idle. It was slightly better in the second, when Hacken pushed for a reduction.

– Especially the first ten we do really well. We had parts of others that were clearly better than the first, says Gerhard says.

Thorvaldsson tried, like René Makondele, but in vain. With 20 minutes left got Icelander way for Alexander Jeremejeff. But not even he managed to shake up a few clear-cut scoring opportunities and more than a few almost-modes never came Hacken.

– We may not be the last bit. We drop the ball for easy and tries with heels and stuff, instead of keeping the ball in the team and play around it, says Thorvaldsson.

Elfsborg could relatively comfortable hold on for the 2-0 victory over a more stable defensive. For Häcken part involves the loss to lose third place – to just Elfsborg. Next, waiting Halmstad gone on Örjans Vallarta on Thursday. Victory which is extremely important if one wants to have continued hanging on the top teams and European sites.

– Absolutely. This match felt a bit like “we’ll be with or not”, but it’s much left. So it’s nice that we get the chance to fix this already on Thursday, saying Thorvaldsson.

Häcken top three:

3p. Kari Akrivou

left back tried for 90 minutes. Come forward down the left and beat some good posts, although they never gave resutlet.

2p. Rene Makondele

Be one of the few players in the hedge that felt intimidating forward. Accounted for some nice plugins and also managed to finish on goal.

1p. Gunnar Heidar Thorvaldsson

Approved first match from the start in a pale ass. Toiled and tried, even if he did not get a lot done.
