GOTHENBURG. Pontus Wernbloom had wanted to play from the start, but came in immediately after the break.

On the field, he experienced Hammarby’s humiliation on IFK Gothenburg.

– If we play like this, the situation is incredibly serious, he says.

Pontus Wernbloom started on the bench and went straight into the second half with the score 1-0 for Hammarby.

– We talked a bit yesterday, but he (Ferran Sibila) wanted me there and then you can sit there. It’s that simple, says Wernbloom about the bank.

– You can ask him more about that. He must have felt like he wasn’t ready for 90 minutes and neither did I.

– But everyone is eager to get started, says Wernbloom.

Ferran Sibila on why Wernbloom was benched:

– We have a match again in two days and Pontus has not played matches for a long time. The same applies to Mattias (Bjärsmyr) and Jakob (Johansson). If I start with all three, we’ll have problems when I need to replace one of them after 60 minutes, says IFK Gothenburg’s temporary head coach.

– Pontus gave us energy at the beginning of the second half when we played more aggressively.

“Offer goals”

From the side, Pontus Wernbloom could see how Hammarby played with IFK Gothenburg during the first half, but only lost by one goal.

In the second, he himself was on the field when the guests were able to play and effectively score three more goals through Muamer Tankovic in the 4-0 humiliation.

– We must try to get rid of individual mistakes that cost a lot. There are some goals that we offer, we do a lot for them.

How do you confidently stand up after a hit like this?

– It’s a slap in the face. The good thing about football is that there will be a next game and now it will be closed (Falkenberg, Sunday). That’s the only positive that can be said about this, and that we don’t cross paths, Wernbloom says with a tired smile after the attempt to joke in front of the press.

How serious is the situation?

– Is seriously. I don’t know how many games are left, I don’t have such a good record. But if we play like this, it will be incredibly serious. Hopefully we can turn this around and not play like this in the next game. We need to start winning. We don’t do that if we play like today.

“It’s the worst”

On several occasions during the second half, Wernbloom was heard raising his voice and getting annoyed with several of his teammates. Hosam Aiesh scratched himself, among other things.

– I think we all cursed each other and each of us above all. It is better that it be somewhat apathetic, that we want something.

– That we wouldn’t care is the worst that could happen now, says Wernbloom.
