Janne’s honest words
Janne Andersson admits that he has tried to contact Bojan Djordjic, but has not been able to get in touch with the Viaplay expert.
– I have applied for Bojan via his Viaplay manager. I have called and texted and asked if we can meet. I’m happy to apologize, or not apologize, but I’m happy to explain based on my behavior. I can understand him interpreting it in a way. But anyone who knows me knows that I hate racism. That’s not me and it’s very sad, says Janne at the press conference.

The Swedish national team captain continues to explain his feelings after what happened and is noticeably touched.
– I’m really bad, it’s really bad. I come to the studio happy, we have won 5-0. I’m so happy for Jesper Karlsson, he scores a great goal. I’m very happy and then I get these kinds of questions and react in a way that I shouldn’t. I react in an extremely bad way, says Janne at the press conference.
– I feel so bad when I see it and I want to talk to Bojan about it. It is absolutely not about his origins. It went wrong. That is woefully bad of me.
