His father passed away a year ago.
But a conversation with Martin Ingesson, 20, is as honest naked as talkative moments with Klas Ingesson.
– I miss him very much. It feels like a puzzle piece disappeared from my life, says Martin Ingesson.
After then-coach Jörgen Lennartsson been fired in Elfsborg at the end of September 2013 took Klas Ingesson over the team and led Elfsborg until a few weeks before his death on October 29 last year.
When was the 1994 World Cup hero struggling with cancer myeloma in 5.5 years.
The Son Martin left Elfsborg as an apprentice in the winter and signed for a year with the Premier League club Varberg BoIS.
Martin Ingesson has had to settle for a short appearances in the Swedish Cup, but played lots of games with Varberg U21 teams.
– It has been a tough fotbollsår. Those who played in Varberg has done well during the season. Since I have had some internal fights with myself, says the center-back.
“A puzzle disappeared”
How has this year been since Klas went away?
– It’s been up and down. It’s been days that have been better, and then you have been able to handle it a little easier. Sometimes the days when you feel down and nothing works. It has come in batches.
– It has been difficult to not have the same support that I received from my father. After every match and every training session we talked through the different stages, what I could do differently. Not having the thing this year has affected me a lot. It feels like a puzzle piece disappeared from my life. It is harder to try to find solutions for yourself, says Martin Ingesson.
– But somehow it is instructive, too, I guess.
What are your ambitions?
– I have set the bar high. I may well be prepared to take some time with the U21 games and work my way up from there. Take the time to find myself. I can not do more than that.
– I’ve also come to a club with other game ideas than what we had in Elfsborg. And so we play on grass above all. There will be a difference. It is not so easily before you get to know everyone. I have to work hard to try to get another year of Varberg.
Are you happy about football?
– It has been a bit mixed in there too. I’ve been a little grumpy because I have not been playing, but then I drill head down and run on. I still want to be the best in the world of football.
“We remind each other”
Who have you talked to when it been tough?
– I’ve talked to my mom, little people around the team. I’ve talked to a sports psychologist to hear what he says and advice.
How often are you reminded of your father in your football gambling?
– Now there has been so much. But I feel that we resemble each other. We have a little bit the same game style, but it has not been the case that people come up immediately and say it.
At home in Ödeshög’s mother Veronica, 46, and brother David; 16.
The legacy of the father Klas is also the farm Bjärkefall and forest and land area of 815 hectares.
– Right now, the grandfather who fixes with that. Fortunately, he is
How much do you have the pieces, with the hunt and the forest of you?
– Right now I do not feel quite the traction. I would like to be a bit of civilization (laughter).
Do you have a hunting license?
– I have no hunting license or weapons. Dad was with me for a while that I would fix it, but it attracted me. I like to fish. We have water where you can fish. My little brother is more interested in hunting. He has even taken a hunting license.
In the middle of March this year came Klas Inge’s autobiography published posthumously. To the last Ingesson had worked on the book with co-author Henrik Ekblom Ystén.
I thought it was really difficult to read your father’s and Henrik Ysténs book. What did you feel?
– I felt exactly the same. But it was also fun to read parts of it. It was as if my father stood by and told me stories of me again. Most of the stories I have heard before. Everything was repeated and it was a little awkward.
– Then it was tough when I got to the pages that dealt with myself. I was both happy and sad at the same time.
The final chapter of the last greetings to you and David is mighty strong.
– I have read it 100 times .
You never felt that it was too personal?
– It was so Dad was always straightforward. I have grown up with it so for me it was normal.
Solemn Do you its first anniversary in some way?
– The idea is that the weekend goes to Church in Ödeshög. Then read the names of people who passed away. Then we’ll be there.
