Hello football fans!

Finally I have had time to sit down in my fantastic sun lounger and gather my thoughts.

My favorite sun god INTI is beaming over Mölle and seems to have forgotten that we will soon be writing September and that summer is slowly starting to slip into autumn darkness.

But now I will try to give a short update on the situation in FC Rosengård.

The spring season was, as you remember, sometimes wine and sometimes water.

Everyone in charge worked hard during the summer to find players to help the team and give our loyal fans some nice match memories when the series started in August.

I felt calm before the away match against Vittsjö when the series started again after the summer break. But unfortunately the same thing happened again as in the spring season – we conceded a goal at the end of the match and had to go home to Malmö with only 1-1 in our luggage.

The following two games against Växjö away and Eskilstuna at home at Malmö IP, I just have to apologize to our loyal supporters.

I'm honest when I say that just about all the managers and players were just as disappointed as you are.

This is football!

Last Saturday we got a point home from the meeting with KDFF and unfortunately it's not fun reading when we look at the league table.

Football is a fantastic sport, but in its simplicity it's about playing from north to south and above all about scoring goals.

But in all its simplicity it's sometimes very difficult to get a team to do just that, no matter how professional and hard you work.

On Saturday we face the best team in the league.

Häcken has a fantastic team and a great coach.

She must have learned something from me when I coached her.

Elena Sadiku, who despite her youth has shown that knowledge beats age, will certainly take the team from Hisingen to a new Swedish Championship gold.

Of course, it will be a tough challenge for our young Rosengård.

Exciting, I can promise that. Hope to see you!
