IFK fans of Helsinki demanded that Ville Peltonen on the sheet and the CEO of the club did not like it.
Frustration among HIFK fans has begun to increase as the ongoing quarter -finals progresses.
Fourth period follows the club legend Ville Peltonen With the leadership, HIFK has not been genuinely playing the championship in three years, and when the quarter -finals started with two losses, fans’ anger has begun to rise to the surface.
In the third match that ended in the loss in Helsinki, the HIFK fanbase was raised, where Ville Peltonen demanded kicks.
This did not please the club’s fresh CEO Alexander sneenwho marched into a fan stand. The idea of the club leadership to remove the sheet has been talked about in social media throughout the evening.
– I went there to say that you could go through a positive one. I thought why go through the negative right from the start. At such moments, players need support and I suggested that positivity work better, Sneen tells Sports.
– I asked if the sheet would be removed or do you keep up. They wanted to keep and express their opinion. But there was nothing there, which would not suit us as a company.
If you think about events in the ongoing match series or in a wider view of Ville Peltonen’s four -year period, can you think you can speak the term right from the start? Do you think fans’ frustration and demonstrations are unfounded?
– Of course they have reason to be frustrated. Get it frustrated when you lose, it is obvious. This sporting job includes up and downs, and there is no problem with nothing worse in the audience, Sneen says.
Ville Peltonen spoke a year back after the semi -finals that ended in the defeat from the over -the -top fans. Was this in the background when you decided to march to a fan stand?
– I wasn’t involved last year, so I can’t answer this.
So you can continue to express your opinion in HIFK games?
– Absolutely. It is great that fans do so and we love that there will be noise. Encouragement and demonstrations are part of sports. Of course, it has a more positive effect on the players to encourage and do not start through the negative right from the start.
How did the fans received your message to them?
– We had a good dialogue. Sometimes there are things we don’t like, sometimes they don’t like something, but we talk.
What does the CEO think about the team’s grip on the playoffs?
– I’m not going to comment on it anymore. Of course, we win we want and the losses are annoying.
SaiPa leads the match with a 3-0 win and is victorious from the semi-finals of the SM League.
