“I understand he says piss yard.”

When Häcken was ready for the final in the Swedish Cup, Strandvalen made headlines.

After the lottery decided that Mjällby would go home, a verbal argument broke out between Häcken’s Samuel Gustafson and Mjällby’s sporting director Hasse Larsson.

– It’s a pee yard, of course. Gustafsson said it was better to play here.

Hass Larsson responded in an interview with Evening newspaper:

– If you say so, you’re a spoiled bastard, quite frankly. I don’t know what to say… It’s just too lousy for a player in the national team and he’s been an overseas pro to say that. It’s disrespectful to those of us who have smaller yards.

Nannskog: “understands that he says piss arena”

On Thursday, it was finally time for the Cup Final in the Wind in Strandvallen. Before the match, SVT expert Daniel Nanskog was asked what he thought of Mjällby Stadium, where he himself played two away matches during his active career.

– It was some kind of nightmare. I always sat on the bus and thought: “Oh no, now you can get to Strandvallen where the fans are incredibly close,” Nannskog says on SVT broadcast.

Nannskog believes the square represents Melby’s DNA. The team always works hard.

– It was a bit of a nightmare circuit. I understand Samuel Gustafson calls this the urine yard. You don’t have that good feeling when you come here as an opponent. I really understand how he thinks.

Häcken won the final 4-1 thus winning the third cup title in the club’s history.
