MFF-chairman: SM-gold is driven – Aftonbladet

Malmo FF have not had the season they wanted.

Now go Chairman Håkan Jeppsson hard at their club – and saw at the same time the team’s golden chances.

– This should not say out loud, but I think that it is run with gold actually, he says in Studio KB.

Before the Allsvenskan Season talked a lot about Malmo FF’s dominance.

But when the season is now in the mid term is the team on a modest sixth place in the table, eight points behind series leader IFK Gothenburg.

The club president says now that he has given up hopes of a new national championship.

“Gotta go clean”

– I think it is short indeed. It is very difficult to bring in eight points, and there are many teams that have more points than we have. We almost have to go clean in the matches remaining. This should not say out loud, because you should always aim for gold. But I think it is important that we are not thinking so much on gold and points without starting to focus on performance, he says, when he visited Kristianstad blade Studio KB.

The reason for the team’s failure, so far, he believes, for the most part due on the large turnover of players.

– If you take the last twelve months, we have ten-eleven-twelve new key players. It is difficult to play together a team and get stability when there are so many new players.

“tired they are better than they are”

– Since I believe that a part players thought that they are better than they are. It does not win the league without humility and you have to work very hard. The pressure on Malmo FF to succeed is relatively hard. We tried to be prepared but I do not think all the players were there, he said.

As Chairman Håkan Jeppsson has seen Malmo FF’s success last season has given a great year financially – but highlights the back will primarily with the European game.

“Mickey Mouse league”

– the Champions League means a lot of money but it is also a huge showcase for the players as they like. The Olympics is a Mickey Mouse league with a

turnover of some money. We can not match the other countries in Europe, we are not close to meeting the money. All going away. It’s a little sad to have to sell Simon Thern to Heerenveen in Holland not one bit better than our league, but they have better tax and so on. We are even of the player to Norway and Denmark.

Tomorrow meets Malmo Zalgiris Vilnius in the Champions League qualifiers and the team has big injury worries. Jeppsson is worried.

– The official version is that it feels great. The true is that we have a little problem with our back line. It is clear that we want to create a stability and a good team is always built from the back. It will be a concern in the joint when replacing as many players as we do.
