Zlatan buddies got the victory – Aftonbladet

Erkan Zengin and Jimmy Durmaz got the win against Liechtenstein.

Something Zlatan Ibrahimovic had predicted.

– It’s what’s the sickest, he said before the game that both scores, said Zengin.

After two draws in the European Championship qualifiers Sweden would take three points against Liechtenstein.

So it became.

Sweden took command directly on Friends Arena and had several sharp chances. After just over 20 minutes Emil Forsberg had a ball in the goal, but the referee ruled incorrectly it off for offside.

Instead it was Erkan Zengin who gave Sweden the lead. The striker went on shots in the penalty area and the ball looped over the keeper by a defender.

– It was good, good hit, I must say. A little lucky that it touched him too. Otherwise it would not have gone into the goal.

Giant Painting by keeper

Zengin then celebrated the goal by Durmaz in your hand and run out to the bench where they embraced the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Early in the second half increased Durmaz on to 2-0 – something that Zlatan had predicted.

– That’s what’s the craziest thing, he said before the game that both scores. We had analyzed eleven o’clock when he said exactly the following: “you two to score today.” Totally sick. That was why we went to him. I did the first, drew with Jimmy and he put others also said Zengin.

“Collecting Z-chain”

Durmaz was however aided by Liechtenstein’s goalkeeper Cengiz Bicer standing for a giant blackboard.

– says the head that we will score goals, you have to score goals otherwise it will be no fun in the dressing room afterwards. It was an order from the Chief.

Målgesten

– We collect the Z-chain.

But if you not out of line a little?

– No, that’s what’s fun. We share our gläjde. First with the team and then he (Ibrahimovic) had so much fun in a couple of weeks so he could also have some fun.

Did Zlatan about what you would do?

– He

was probably wearing, smiling Durmaz.

Andreas Granqvist laughed heartily at the celebration.

– They are pretty funny. I do not know what they found. After goals usually celebrate together, but we did not know where they went, so we tried to chase them, he says.

Sweden had some positions that do 3-0, but the match ended 2-0.

– I think we deserve some bags, but three points begins with us. On the whole it has been a good collection. We are fine with the whole thing, says Kim Kallstrom to Channel 5th
