Janne Andersson comments on the high-profile fight with Bojan Djordjic on Tuesday. The national team captain admits that he lost his temper. – There were too many emotions, the head stopped, he says. After the EC qualifying match against Azerbaijan, national team captain Janne Andersson ended up in an infected big fight with Viaplay’s expert Bojan Djordjic. A while later, Andersson held a press conference, but the irritation had not subsided. On Tuesday, the Swedish Football Association called a new press meeting with Janne Andersson, where he explained his feelings. – It was terribly bad of me. I would like to talk to Bojan and others about that, he says. – I have spoken to my dear wife and she was very surprised, says a clearly taken Janne Andersson who several times looked close to tears. “Hates penalism and racism” He says that he had a bad day and after the fight looked for Bojan Djordjic via both text messages and phone calls – but that he has not been able to get hold of him so far. – We have searched for Bojan, I have both called and texted, I want to explain my behavior and why I did what I did, says Janne Andersson. During the fight in the live broadcast, what Janne Andersson considers was a misunderstanding, a conversation arose where the focus ended up on whether Bojan Djordjic represents Sweden or Serbia. The national team captain chose to clarify that his intention was never to talk about Djordjic’s background. – It has nothing to do with Bojan’s background. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate bigotry, penalism and racism. If Bojan interpreted it that way, I really want to apologize, he says.
