Salzburg. Up to the last hoped Åge Hareide to use Rasmus Bengtsson on the field against Salzburg.
But when center-back declined Tuesday workout was decided that he should rest.
– It was a difficult score, says Hareide who is convinced to use Bengtsson in return.
The body is worn out and in need of rest. Therefore, there was Rasmus Bengtsson is not in the starting line-up when the MFF lost to Salzburg 2-0 yesterday.
On Tuesday’s match preparatory training attended Bengtsson alone in the heating and declined thereafter two-goal game.
According to Hareide was the decision to set Bengtsson off the line-up difficult to take, but in terms of a more long-term plan was the best option.
– We want Play Rasmus and want to use him in both return and towards Gothenburg. Two important games coming now, said Hareide.
Be prepared understudy
Since Bengtsons replacement Felipe Carvalho failed to complete the last game, 3-0- profit towards Sundsvall, because of cramp in one calf was sitting Bengtsson yet with as a substitute on the bench and be prepared for a cameo against Salzburg.
It also made Franz Brorsson , but according Hareide was Bengtsson first choice for Carvalho or his center-back colleague Kári Árnason would be forced to break.
– We tried to save him (Bengtsson), but the uncertainty about whether Carvalho could stand the whole distance out made we chose to have both Franz Brorsson and Rasmus on the bench we had not been sure if Rasmus had kept if we had changed him, says Åge Hareide.
A fight on two fronts
Now, did Carvalho 90 minutes plus additions to Salzburg but with a tight schedule is Bengtson’s injury situation problematic for Malmo FF fighting on two fronts and faces Atvidaberg on Saturday, Salzburg on Wednesday and IFK Göteborg following weekend.
– It’s not a good situation, but now he rest, and we can have him ready to return and Gothenburg.
