Head coach Joey Gudjonsson saw several positives in addition to the victory.
“For several reasons, it was a big win for us. We played against the top team, and On paper, it was quite a task. V You have a good team, and we We have shown in the past that we can win the games, but we have been in a very difficult period where the results have not come. We have worked hard despite the lack of victories.
That we got Today’s victory means that we can look back on the period we have gone through. We didn’t win the games and drew for a very long time. The most valuable thing for me as a coach is that I see the players’ approach to training and the matches. They continue the hard work and they have really done their best, but still it has not gone our way.
I’m happy that the players showed a really good game today and that we got the important three points. It gives
us a good boost.
I would also like to mention that Tobias Hageltorn scoresThey a really good goal and it was great to see. He is an example of a player who has come through our academy to the first team.
There was great support with more than 1,000 spectators today, and I hope that with our win today, they will want to return to March when the tournament starts again after the winter break”, concludes a very happy and satisfied head coach.
Captain Søren Ilsøe was in no doubt why it was AB who won today.
“I don’t think there is anyone at Gladsaxe Stadium, who were in doubt as to why we won today. We were just so ready from the start. We were so hungry for a win, and we hadn’t eaten for long. Today there was just a buffet from the start and It was good to board it.
VYou gave us 100% in total and it was from start to finish. It didn’t matter who was on the pitch – everyone fought like it was the last game they would ever play.
We can’t control the whole game, but we can control our attitude and our effort. We screwed everything we could on both today. That’s what we have to do in every game, then we win games like that.
In principle, we try to train with the same attitude at every training, regardless of whether we have lost in the last match – but a win lifts the mood”, Søren Ilsøe concludes.
The last match of the autumn will be played on Saturday 16 November, where AB will go on the longest bus trip, which goes to Thisted. Here, the match kicks off at 15.30 in Sparekassen Thy Arena.
