Hammarby fell to AIK 3-0 at Friends Arena on Sunday. Bajen’s star Alexander Kacaniklic, who entered the second half, was disappointed after Hammarby lost the match.
– 3-0 (against Lech Poznan), 3-0 (against AIK). It was a great achievement this week and a terrible achievement today, he says and continues:
– After ten minutes we were completely wrong in what we did. “Nabbe” (Nabil Bahoui) could almost be one on one against Kalle (Björklund) or even two against one on any number of occasions. In the back, we managed three on three in a way and it was only a matter of time before they scored. They scored two goals that were equal. Against AIK, it is also difficult, as they cover again, when they have scored a goal. All respect for the AIK, but it was not a good AIK that we met and we lost 3-0, so it’s amazing.
Kacaniklic believes that Bajen had the wrong match plan.
– This is how we would play. We followed the match plan as we should and it resulted in this, it says and continues:
– We followed the match plan and played as we should, which resulted in 3-0.
What did you say later in the locker room about the match plan?
– Only the players were there and we were the ones who talked a bit. It is clear that we are not happy with the game.
Is it Stefan’s match plan you’re not happy with?
– I’m not happy that we lost and how we played. We don’t play our own game, what we will do with the ball. We played based on a match image that suited them well and it ended 3-0.
Should you have corrected it earlier?
– Even after ten minutes, it was seen that it was only a matter of time before they scored how they did. There were huge areas right there, and so it was.
Do you feel like you need to talk to Stefan this week about the wrong match plan and how you will work it out for the next match?
– We will see how it looks for the next game and we will talk about this the next time we are, as we usually do, since we always talk in the group and with the coaches after the game. It will be the same now.
Kacaniklic believes that there is already a high ceiling in the group regarding this type of criticism of a party plan.
– We have a good level. We have a high and very open ceiling, where everyone can speak their minds.
Kacaniklic believes that the last one against AIK this year also went wrong, when there was also a loss against Hammarby.
– Then we were also a bit wrong, he says.
How frustrating is that?
– They are very frustrated, especially because we are a very good team and we have very good players. It is very hard that we are here with a 3-0 against AIK.
What about the future, a little higher than European places now?
– It’s one setback after another for us, but it can’t collapse. That is not what we are supposed to do. We have to recharge for the next game against Falkenberg away. We have to discover who we are, play based on how we are and not take things out of our hat. We must do what we are good at and stick with it.
What should you do to avoid further setbacks?
– That’s the difficult thing, sometimes we are high and sometimes very low. There is no continuity at the moment so I really don’t know what to do. It is not my role as a player, it is the role of the coaches to come up with it.
Have you been through similar scenarios?
– Yes, you’ve always been used to that. Happens.
