Malmö FF had a 3-0 lead against Croatian NK Lokomotiva already after just over half an hour. The man who then closed the game was right-back Eric Larsson, with a left-footed shot near the penalty area line that came in the 52nd minute.
How did you feel when the ball hit the crossbar?
– It was a very nice feeling. I felt when it left my foot that it had received a good blow, and it sat very well. It was really nice that we got 4-0 with him and could go half speed, play the game and save energy, says Eric Larsson, who started limping right away but could still play.
– I felt that it hurt a lot and I twisted a little. It’s a bit bloated now, but you can hold it after such a win and you had to score goals too. Has time to heal on Sunday
Malmö scored another goal in the team’s third qualifying game for the Europa League. The 29-year-old Larsson has scored more goals in the MFF jersey than he did at GIF Sundsvall, who was drafted in 2018. The 4-2-3-1 system of play comes in at goal production, says Larsson .
– Of course it was good. I want to contribute a lot to the offense, but with our game with four offenses up front, there will also be a lot of defense for the wingers. Today we were able to go a little more offensively and it was nice to score goals.
As Felix Beijmo has been trained for the match and later ill, Eric Larsson has continued as a right-back even with the new Werder Bremen acquisition in his place. Larsson has only had one game to rest since June.
– These are games you want to play. Even if energy is needed when you run, you also get a lot of energy. Especially with the season we had where we had a long suite with only wins where you only get energy, score a lot of goals and only play for joy. It is clear that the body receives less blows when a lot of energy is obtained when playing the games. We are in this game calendar and it does not involve an extra effort. We have a fantastic team that works in the medical room and takes care of us.
MFF’s tight gaming schedule continues. On Sunday, a match of the best Swedes awaits him against the second classified, Häcken; Next Thursday is the playoffs meeting with Spanish Granada in the Europa League.
