Vetlanda, which was hit hard by injuries and illnesses, started strongly but had difficulty holding together the defense where fast Villa players rushed through time after time. Christoffer Edlund’s 4-0 was a “Maradona pass” over the entire course and at the end of 11-3 you had to take out the millimeter gauge to see how small the angle from the short line really was, a touch on an impossible goal that only an Edlund, who can do some thieving , can whisk in.
– It was a hell of an overrun and we had a terrible pace of the ball and then it is difficult to get hold of us. But it would have been significantly more, we and not least I missed a lot and it would have been a couple more goals, says Christoffer Edlund, who was born in Vetlanda and played for the club until 2009.
Pelle Fosshaug scored the first elite series victory
However, new coach Pelle Fosshaug did not agree.
– It was fun to get my first victory as a coach for Villa. It feels as if the numbers were a bit large. Vetlanda had some chances at the beginning, although we were not in a bad position. We have a little more speed with more players, says Fosshaug, who got to see the elite series premiere last Friday from the hospital bed.
Johan Löfstedt has returned to Vetlanda after six years in Villa Lidköping.
– I don’t know, they are better, but 5-1 I don’t know. It’s always special to face your old teams and I still think it’s special to face Sandviken, said Löfstedt in the halftime interview.
