Lennartsson: The players are mentally strong – Göteborgs-Posten

IFK Göteborg were big favorites, but ended up at a disadvantage.

Thanks to the Danish dynamite could Blåvitt turn and win the Swedish Cup.

– This shows that the players are mentally strong, says Jörgen Lennartsson.

It is the seventh time in club history that IFK Gothenburg gets to lift the trophy – and thus also Jörgen Lennartsson’s first title as IFK-captain of the port.

But there sat deep. Orebro SK showed that one is better than his miserable table position Enoch also took the lead through Ayanda Nkili, whose shot was ruled out by Thomas Rogne.

– I knew it would be difficult and that Örebro is a good team. But I think we got into it gradually. Since the goal, there are things that happen in football and it was a scenario we had prepared ourselves for, we’d end up at a disadvantage.

In the second half increased IFK Gothenburg pressure and Lasse Vibe equalized with a header after Emil Salomonsson’s posts.

And with scant fifteen minutes left could Soren Rieks determine the full position when he from close range could thunder 2-1.

Wild

cheers at Gamla Ullevi and the team had to take received a standing ovation after the final whistle. Mattias Bjärsmyr, captain, lifted the trophy and Jörgen Lennartsson pulled on a blue scarf and just mös on the inner plane.

– It says a lot about this group that we manage to turn, the players are very mentally strong. I’m very happy for the players, the club and the supporters’ sake. It is always important to win titles and it feels good to be able to give the fans the said Lennartsson.

The victory set as said deep this time, but the victory was largely fair.

– Congratulations Jorgen, the first title, but perhaps not the last. We did the best we could today, says OSK-coach Alexandeer Axén.

Result: 2-1.
