Henrik Rydström after the match
– Delighted when we can win 4-0 against Häcken. But I think there are small margins. At half time it felt like we had the wrong perspective, like we were chasing and we were frustrated. We scored 1-0 and then we were cautious and were afraid of losing something. We changed that mentality in the second half.
– The difference between the teams is that we managed to defend our goal when we were low, and prevent Häcken from getting to dangerous ends. It’s not that we mash Häcken, but we are better at the decisive pieces.
– Anders is brilliant in the decisive moments. He scores in situations where others don’t. But it was wonderful to see the enthusiasm of all the players. We’ve scored a lot of goals even if our strikers haven’t. But it was extremely nice that they got to hit each other’s balls.
