Because the game was interrupted: Malmö coach attacks Union | Sports

Due to game interruption |

Malmö coach goes for Union

Age Hareide (69) has seen a lot in his football life. The Malmö coach’s game against Union was his 141st as a coach in the European Cup! One that the Norwegian will not soon forget. Because Union fans ignited Pyros. After the game was interrupted, the Swedes conceded the decisive goal from Sheraldo Becker (68th).

That’s why Hareide attacked the irons after the game: “That shouldn’t be allowed, you should take them out of Europe. Or the team, because they have fans who do things like that. Then they can’t play in Europe.”

Hareide continues: “The Germans are civilized and decent people, but not as they behaved today.”

Because the Irons were sent off shortly before the break (emergency brake Schäfer/45.), Malmö played in the majority in the second half of the game. The interruption had a negative impact on his team. At least that’s what Hareide claims: “It was an advantage for them because they were able to organize themselves again. There were ten of them and they were able to rest their legs.” The veteran coach served: “It’s an easy way to stop games. This is disgusting for football. They destroy the game. Also for the other fans, for the players, the coaches. “

So did the interruption play into the hands of the iron? Is Hareide right? Union defense chief Robin Knoche (30): “I would say that if I were him. I found the opposite! Because we were in a good position in the game, then came the interruption – my legs got heavier afterwards. Then you don’t know: How long will you stay in, when will it continue? I found it harder to get back in than if we had played through.”
