Henrik Rydström about the match:
– I have said a few times that it looks easy when we win with big numbers, but it never is. But it was a match that was stable. We were able to check what their strengths are, their melee and their post game. At the same time, we were able to bring out our strengths and we should have, especially at the beginning of the second half, scored a few more goals. I’m happy with how we handled the snowy reduction. It could have tipped over to a negative note, but we rallied and managed to score a fourth goal.
– If we look at what Klaksvik did last year in Europe, we know what they can do and we have respect. But in the return they have to step forward and attack more and then we can threaten in a different way. But it is a job that has to be done, we are aware of that and we will do it. If we had won 8-0, I would have said that a lot needs to be done. But at the same time, I have faith in our players and our game.
