Malmo. Anja Mittag, 29, runs to victory in the top scorer and tonight, her FC Rosengård secure SM-gold.
time in Malmö has been developing for the German language, both as a player and as a person.
– I like it just fine. Two years left then I have the chance to become a Swedish citizen … says Anja Mittag.
It’s the day before the match and at Malmö IP followed four v-four games of abrasive solids situations. Only just over a day left to a score-enough-for-gold game against Kopparberg Gothenburg. The intensity is good, the focus is right. Players are charged but still laid back.
But as soon as we take the word gold in our mouth we hyschas down.
– That we do not talk about. There we learned to Umeå … says sports director Erling Nilsson.
It was the 2012th LdB Malmo (which the club was then called) would only secure the gold, and the bus was loaded with victory champagne. It was lying. After 1-1 away and ignominious loss at home against Tyreso – Anja Mittag missed a penalty – lost gold.
After the workout, shower and fish lunch settles Anja Mittag down with us. Her Swedish is really excellent but Sportbladet get the chance to teach her a new word.
– superstitious? Named it so. Okay, yes, the gold we’re talking about.
“I used to fit …”
Okay, we do not.
We are talking about goals. On the other side of the table sits Damallsvenskan shooting queen. Anja Mittag has 19 goals so far.
Zlatan Ibrahomovic has said that Fabio Capello brought goalscorer in him. Anja Mittag think that the old landslagsstrikern Jan “Lill-Dust” Matsson been her guide.
He has worked individually with the attacking players of FC Rosengård.
– I did not so much aim at the box before, but this year I think all of my goals is made from inside the penalty area. Janne is a part of this, he has said to me that I need to shoot more. I used to fit in instead of shooting. 2012 I did not races into the box, I do now.
She forms a toxic offensive along with Therese capital P., Ramona Bachmann and Marta.
– We have developed our
She came to the Club 2012, she broke up from his German club Turbine Potsdam as she played in the past ten years, that she was 17 years old.
“It was very strange”
The reason for the breakup was disappointing after petningen national team, Anja Mittag was not selected for the World Cup on home soil. She had lost the joy and lust for football.
– Everything came back here in Sweden. I had to move to a club in a country other than Germany to break my contract, she says.
time in Malmö has affected her positively. As a player and as a person.
Swedish How are you?
– I think I have adapted well. In Germany you have to be on time, everything is so strict, it is much rules to follow but here it is okay to get one minute late. I’m a bit more relaxed.
She reacted to the physical football that is played in Sweden – and she was surprised by the players’ ability to influence.
When you come in for half-time so ask the coach “what do you think? ‘. Everyone talks. It is more involved. In Germany, people listen only on the coach.
– It was very strange to me. Now, I had to say what I think of. I had to think. It was good. It has developed me to read the game better.
“It’s nice to Sea”
Over the summer, Anja Mittag amassed a longboard and used the bike lanes in Malmö. She lives in Dockan near the sea.
– It is so nice with the ocean close, she says.
And who knows, there might be a future in Sweden.
Anja Mittag has a year left on the contract, but would be willing to continue. And maybe become a Swedish citizen.
– Why not? I like Sweden, she says.
