Rosenberg’s fast reply hedged gold – Sydsvenskan

Sunday started well for Malmö FF. It only got better.

While the team was preparing for the meeting with AIK at Friends Arena in Solna was winning the gold medal ever closer thanks to help from elsewhere in Sweden.

Norrköping home defeated Gothenburg 3-0 while Orebro – with MFF-raised Marcus Pode that two goal shooter – crushed Elfsborg 5-1 and so were two top competitors sawn off.

Suddenly AIK had the opportunity to swing up in second place and – at least theoretically – be MFF’s last threat for first place in the 2014 Premier Division, eight points behind with three rounds left to play.

But, when it took the victory – for MFF took was a draw to secure second straight winning the gold medal and the eighteenth overall.

AIK-trained Magnus Eriksson looked to take the game winning role against his former club after playing up to 1-0 and set itself the runner-up. But after Nabil Bahouis both goals became a little shaky and he who usually decide did it again.

57 seconds after AIK’s acknowledgment shot MFF-trained Markus Rosenberg 3-2 and the thing was definitely clear.

– It was nice of course, but it felt quite clear even before when it was 2-2, even before the game if we are to be realistic. We have pretty good control, but a little sloppy and let them in the game. That was many who went around and thought it was clear when we had 2-0, said Markus Rosenberg.

Last of all, he came out of the shower and out to the media singing on “We won again, we won, we won again “and had a half-empty beer bottle in one hand.

Before the sports director Daniel Andersson politely but firmly dragged him to catch the waiting plane home did

32-year-old talk about his first league title.

Markus Rosenberg has won any cup titles in his career, but never become series champion, it was close in 2004 when he was loaned to Halmstad, but the parent club MFF pinched him on winning the gold medal when the final round.

– It has almost sunk in a while it’s going on, so it is more than relief that it is really clear now. But I had never dreamed that it would be this good first season after I got home, he said, and continued:

– Glad that we have made it clear that early. It’s good that we can go around the whole squad in the matches that are left, and really focus on the Champions League.

– Personally, SM-gold larger than the Champions League, because I’ve played there before, but the association is of course important in Europe The game purely economic.

Markus Rosenberg made it clear that the national team is a closed chapter. Head coach Erik Hamrén need to call even if injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic will not be ready for play to Thursday’s European Championship qualifier against Russia.

– We have many great young striker who does it well in Europe. Zlatan will end one day, and then there must be something behind it. If he can not play, then it’s an excellent location to try something new, said Rosenberg.
