The young fans are sure: There will be championships. Blåvitts Mr Pettersson notes that Blåvitt must regain vårformen – and himself, he may have to move back to the defensive line shortly.
– Yes, that’s my position really, he says.
In the scorching sun in the Royal Square met IFK Göteborg Tom Pettersson acquisitions Victor Shield and Riku Riski fans to sign autographs. One that was in place was 11-year-old Melker Olsson. He no doubt that the league leaders pinch the gold in the fall.
– Many newspapers do not think they’ll win, but they have performed so well that I believe they do, says Melker.
Tom Pettersson parts Melkers analysis in that the starting position for the team is the best possible.
– Yes, my God. We lead the course. We have not won so much at the end, but we’re having. It could not be better.
Still, IFK Goteborg had the same fluency as last spring. Exodus from the EL qualifying and losses against Falkenberg and Malmö FF have got some to doubt the championships.
– We decided a few games in overtime in the spring and now we have had a bit against us. Since we have not reached the same level, nor should it be honest to say. But it is difficult to go through 30 games without dipping. We will see that it was our only dip. There are eleven games left and six teams in a damn hornet’s nest. It is a new situation for me personally, but it’s much more fun to be here than where my old club (Åtvidaberg) is located. So just enjoy the situation, says Pettersson.
He was recruited as a central defender for the club, but last winter decided to coach Jörgen Lennartsson and sporting director Mats Gren to use him as a midfielder instead. As such, he made six matches from the start and jumped into twelve games this Allsvenskan season.
But now situation is changing rapidly. For central defender Mattias Bjärsmyr damaged. And in midfield competition has increased since Mads Albaek connected. Thus, Pettersson soon be back in the defensive line – and on yesterday’s workout, he was playing as a defender.
– There have been new players that you own, so it is always. Either I get to play midfielder or central defender or left-back or forward, I do not know. I like the location.
– But I’m really central defender so it’s not completely impossible. The option is available. It is my position really, no inner midfielder.
It still feels so?
– Yes, now it was a while ago, but I do not know. That’s where I see myself really, and that’s where I can be the best, absolutely, says Pettersson.
According Lennartsson However, first choice next to the Thomas Rogne Hjalmar Jonsson.
– We we a situation where Bjärsmyr is gone at least a month while Rogne remains of five alerts. It is clear that we must have a plan for how we do if something happens to them. And then, Tom has by far the most experience defender games, so he is first reserve, says IFK’s coach.
