IFK Gothenburg stood on three straight victories before today’s meeting with Djurgårdens IF. After the match, that winning streak was over, after the match ended 1-1. Gustaf Norlin gave Blåvitt a dream start and made it 1-0 in the first half, but shortly after half time the guests were able to equalize through Joel Asoro.
During the second half, great referee anger was aired among the blue and white audience, and the home players were not completely satisfied with referee Fredrik Klitte’s effort for the day.
Oscar Wendt, who was warned for protest against a free kick in the second half, talks about that situation:
– I will not say anything about the referee level like that, but from my perspective that situation is completely unreal. Even if I’m not the fastest man in the world, if I do not get down, I’m through. That you can not see that I am depressed, I think is unreal. If I get pulled down and spin half a turn around my own shoulder, then something must happen, Wendt says to Fotbollskanalen and continues:
– I thought it was clear, and when you do not get such a clear thing with you, it is clear that it burns a little. Then I react, which I will probably do again if it becomes an equally obvious situation. So you got a warning on the purchase, so it was a bad eight seconds.
What do you think about the referee level in general, there were many yellow cards?
– I can well think that some reactions… Gustaf (Norlin) card that he got in the first half, he just reacts. I do not think that reaction was special… Then his reaction was ten times milder than mine, and getting a card for that might be like that.
Wendt believes that he demands better communication with the referee team.
– They had wished there was a dialogue, give and take a little. It is clear that the emotions are up in the air in a match like this, and then there will be reactions. Of course, some things are not okay and then you have to react as a judge, but I may lack a dialogue, says the 36-year-old.
– There were probably some situations today that were like that.
Do you think that one should raise the level of what is tolerated in such an emotional match?
– Maybe not precisely because it is Blåvitt-Djurgården on a crowded Gamla Ullevi, but you have to be able to communicate in some way. You can mark as a judge: “It does not hold if you react like that again.” But we must be able to give and take. Adrenality squirts out of my ears, it slams here and there and everyone wants to win.
Blåvitt’s Hosam Aiesh is in line with his teammate and believes that he should have raised the tolerance level a few notches.
– I did not receive a warning for talk, so I did not hear what he (the judge) said. But I think, hell, you can let it go a little. It feels like it’s a bit too messy here in Sweden that you are not allowed to say, you are not allowed to talk. Little can you understand such a match when we meet Djurgården at home. They are a top team and we are a top team – it’s a hot match. I think you can have a little feeling, says Hosam Aiesh.
