There were many hot duels between Douglas Bergqvist and Ioannis Pittas, both in the game and when there was a break. Several times Bergqvist signaled that he wanted to settle with the AIK striker.
– We said a lot of ugly words to each other and were cuddled a few times and were physical, says Pittas.
After the 2-0 victory, Pittas quickly approached Bergqvist and gave him something.
– I gave him the match ball. It was karma. The second goal was his, the own goal. So it was like a joke.
How did he take it?
– Not good.
He wanted just the two of you to go away and make it up?
– Haha, yes, but that’s what happens in football. We held hands when we got off the plane.
However, Bergqvist wants to downplay everything.
– There were emotions on the pitch. It’s football. It’s not weird. I like it, he says.
How do you feel about getting the match ball from him after the final whistle?
– Yes, but it’s nothing to complain about. No weirdness.
You wanted to make up with him – what did you tell him?
– On the field you can talk, but what is said there stays there. But we will solve it. No problem.
