Head coach Jon Dahl Tomasson tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was able to watch the MFF-Sirius match from home. His assistant Daniel Bäckström had never coached any team in an Allsvenskan match before, but he saw the team win 4-0 and secure the series victory. – There are three things I’m thinking about right now. It’s so sad that it’s not Jon sitting here. He is so dignified and I gift him with this gold, it is sad that he cannot be here when we get it back. It is others is the party, direct in a professional and determined way. A good achievement. With the start we have, we don’t leave room for Sirius to try to win the game, I think. The third is the different season. Jon spoke of it from the beginning as a long run. I guess we are now at the finish line after 27 rounds, and it feels great, says Daniel Bäckström.
The 32-year-old continues to tell about his different experience in the match:
– Is special. But that also means nothing more than that we won the match. I have felt extremely safe since I understood that it would be like this. Considering how much contact Jon and I had during the week and how clearly the group of players knows what is expected of them, there has been no surprise. But I had no contact with Jon during the game.
MFF dominated early on against Sirius and held a 3-0 lead with a quarter played. The performance during these 15 minutes was possibly the best of the team this year.
– When Malmö FF play at home for the gold of the Swedish Championship, it is, according to my little experience from within, that it is not talked about. I think all week you felt like there was something in the air, and even when we came here today it was focused and determined. There are many players who take the great responsibility of keeping everything within the framework. When he’s 3-0 at 15 minutes, it reinforces the feeling that something special was about to happen. An incredible experience, says Daniel Bäckström.
