Bank: Malmo FF has its own story to write – Aftonbladet

Malmo. There are miracles in football, there are nights when that should not happen actually happens.

But most often it is precisely this way.

Real Madrid are better than Malmö, Cristiano Ronaldo is the best of all. And the Europa League is a dream that is more than enough.

There is not a Swedish club that has not longed to hear the Champions League anthem, but sometimes it is both bigger and nicer to hear when not heard.

The pompous pumped out of the stadium, but it was drowned in an arena that jumped to the beloved Malmo.

After a week like this, when everyone with a Swedish passport spoken on fan culture, wanted to Malmo their say.

Sure, it’s fine with Champions League circus, but pride is not about that, but about those who stood side by-side with each other along the way, and that a future star Franz Brorsson can be the best on the field when the juniors whips Real Madrid. When others count money count so well.

Cristiano Ronaldo in town? It’s diploma on the other side.

Real Madrid? It is simply something else.

danced part

There is however one encounter, no matter how you run, and there is certainly no matter how you play well.

When Varanes sammetsfot swept away a pass to Cristiano Ronaldo and Anton Tinnerholm won the duel shouted MFF audience as if it won half the game. Then it had been ten seconds.

Everyone in the world knows how big the difference is, and should be between these two teams, and Åge Hareide straightened into line. 4-5-1 defensively, always two runners on top when they won the ball, swift counterattack ball from the back line or Johan Wiland in the minimal possibility that we could get positions two against two or so.

It took ten minutes, maybe fourth, before the Madrid sorted out their rhythm.

And yes, then danced the part.

UEFA had notoriously forced the MFF to cut two meters of floor width, they hijacked fifty meters had this been evenly. Now it was Rondo, Spanish square-games, most of the time. Casemiro gathered up, Kroos, Kovacic and Isco rolled around, and it probably looked like it often done with Madrid this autumn: Very ball, little hockey. Benitez has balanced the team part, has two more unifying central midfielder, and both the team and the captain still looking for the form.

Skåne optimist might point out that there are still only two players in this line-up that scored this season.

Skåne realist could be argued that if the players named Benzema and Ronaldo is enough a long way anyway.

The sky was just too tired

This weekend played Real Madrid 0-0 with a tiomanna-Málaga. It’s just that Malaga has players who are a little more technically ball secure than the Swedish champions. Malmo sank home, they broke from him, they tried counterproductive to an opening, and it was not that no openings there.

The sky was just too tired once they got them.

They had hunted, they had moved ten yards, and then they would find their way to continuously striker before Real Madrid could into the press.

Then came the cheap mistakes, the notable mismatches, the technical clumsy units. The only one in the MFF as radiated security, who met and showed that he was actually safe enough to play on, was Nikola Đurđić.

Malmo floundering as best they could, but could not break the shackles, and sooner or later will always be the wrong kind of mistakes in the wrong kind of situation.

Malmo moved up for an offensive throw down to the corner flag, got the chance to breathe a little and lost concentration. It turned the neck, and two sequences later Kovacic and Isco cut them straight in the throat.

It was a strategic Junior mistake by the MFF, Ronaldo went right and Benzema left, and there were no defenders left where Johan Wiland needed them.

0-1 a lipizzanertrippande Cristiano Ronaldo, his five hundredth goal as a professional footballer.

Malmo stood there with morality, that was what they had left, and they showed it in 90 minutes.

Johan Wiland made equipment are required, räddningarna he could and a few more. Well into the second half shoveled Hareide about the part, Djurdjic link played a little better and Lewicki lifted after a horrible first half.

Displayed Europe that we have häxkittlar to be proud of

Malmö FF did what we could call, both with eleven players and ten (Yoshi Yotún received a red card at the end), and it was this far it was enough.

Not to threaten Real Madrid, but that keep hope alive all the way into stoppage time.

Admission jumped, they loved Malmo. They got a night to when they got to show Europe that we have häxkittlar to be proud of here, too.

Ronaldo tripped up a goal, Real Madrid went home with two goals and three points. The Champions League is their reality and their home. In our reality will MFF go to Solna for a big game on Sunday, and then try to blare to a place in the Europa League in 2016.

Now begins the journey to get back here, and now I know MFF in Anyway how long the journey is. Cristiano Ronaldo came to Malmö and wrote the story, and it was good fun. But Malmo FF has its own story to write.

It is not the same, but it is not so bad either.
