It started as a tremor on the lower deck. Eleven months later, the ship still takes more water than we have time to pump. The world is changing, humanity is in a defensive position, and time is out of order.
Sport goes hand in hand. Previous normals have turned into mirages where obvious patterns have turned into unattainable dreams. Who could have guessed that a final match at the Superettan in Gamla Ullevi in the fall of 2020 would be considered a wet fan dream available only to an exclusive crowd of reporters and officials?

Out of chaos comes development, invention, and reorganization.
There we are now.
Nothing can be taken for granted.
Club leaders budget with more scenarios, sports managers need to take covid infection into account when team building and coaches risk having entire teams in quarantine. For infected players, the physique has been affected in several cases.
Risk the self-goal of the times
We are not going to talk about the fans. After a year away, another waits on the sidelines. At least initially. In some places, abstinence in place has been replaced by love on the couch. That is the fear. Who returns Who can return? Will a vaccination certificate along with a match ticket be required to be admitted?
And how do sponsors who have not received the exposure described in the deals think? Economies are contracting. For clubs, however, there are new things to compete with. Fire the smartest, the lowest wages the better, seek support money wisely and strengthen the troops without receiving support from the government and the RF.
The naked leads to new truths.
Number one: health. Number two: team success.

Those who play number one are at great risk of failing number two since the pandemic broke out.
The same goes for championships.
For example, UEFA wants to fill the stands for the final of the European Championship this summer, but at the same time risks the own goal of the times if the public is allowed and the spread of the infection occurs.
Wants to be optimistic
New compensation is necessary. The balancing act is difficult.
The new normal is staying healthy. Don’t travel around Europe and watch football.
It’s sad, but it’s true anyway.
Bite the vaccine is clearing. How football rises from the ashes is strongly associated with it.
I still want to be optimistic and predict a strong start to the new era, the one that follows the corona pandemic.
How does the following “year zero” thought feel?

The European Championship play-offs are over and Sweden manages to balance an attacking game spiced by Zlatan with a well-composed defense. Who of the Forsberg, Claesson, Isak and Kulusevski quartet produces better depends on Janne Andersson.
The Allsvenskan is launched to the public after the summer holidays. The interest is great. The rostrum is full. The intensity of the game increases. There are no setbacks.
GFC Players Succeed
Before the final round, BK Häcken and Malmö FF are on the same score. Hammarby also has a chance to win gold. One long shot decides.
Just behind, IFK Gothenburg makes their best result in several years and in the home game against Örebro they have a starting eleven where new acquisitions Oscar Wendt, Marcus Berg, Ragnar Sigurdsson and Gustav Svensson join Pontus Wernbloom, Mattias Bjärsmyr and Sebastian Eriksson on a team that also consists of Giannis Anestis and three teenagers.
Gothenburg FC is in the same Champions League group as Wolfsburg, Chelsea and Lilleström. Hanna Wijk scores the decisive goal in London that leads the team to the playoffs.
We’ll see what happens next.
