Seven years ago, Robin Kovacs was involved in a car accident and his close friend died.
He is still reminded of this as several opposing fans in the SHL chant and taunt him. After the match against Luleå, he had enough.
– I hope for a consequence, so people understand the seriousness of it, he says to Expressen.
Things are going smoothly for Linköping in the SHL. The team is in eleventh place in the table and most recently against Luleå it was a loss with 2-5. Much of the talk afterwards, however, was not about sports, but about the home fans’ nasty chants about Linköping Robin Kovacs.
The club condemns the incident
It’s all about the traffic accident that Kovacs was involved in in 2017, when a close friend of his died.
– It was a difficult sight that I will never forget and that I will carry with me forever, he has said in an interview with Expressen before.

Linköping’s club director Carl-Johan Stålhammar was furious after the match and scolded the supporters during the match. The sound of his angry shouts from the stands could be heard right into TV4’s broadcast.
– There must be some kind of level, he tells Corren.
Robin Kovac’s words about the event
Robin Kovacs says that this kind of taunting and taunting is common and he hears it more or less every game, both from opposing supporters and sometimes even players. Now he has completely grieved.
– Supporters and some players apparently think it’s okay to say what you want. I have no problem with trash talk and so on, but there has to be some limit, he says and continues:
– I hope for a consequence, so people understand the seriousness of it, otherwise maybe you will start hanging out players and supporters.

This is so very boring! It shouldn’t happen in a hockey stand, it doesn’t belong there. Stay strong, Robin. Stand your ground.
