Henrik Rydstrom, the manager of Malmo, a Swedish football club, experienced a defeat at the hands of Rangers on Thursday. The Scottish team, who had never won against a Swedish team before, recorded an impressive victory in the Europa League. This came as a shock to Rydstrom, who admitted to feeling "stupid" after his taunts towards Rangers backfired.
The match began with a bang as Nedim Bajrami scored for Rangers in the first minute, followed by another goal from Ross McCausland, making it 2-0. The victory was even sweeter for Rangers as it came after Malmo had taunted them on social media, referencing their past financial struggles and drop to the Third Division in 2012.
In a post-match press conference, a disappointed Rydstrom addressed his team's performance, saying, "S*** happens." He also expressed his frustration with their tendency to play backwards, a problem that has plagued them for a long time. He revealed that he had been trying to make his players understand that the goalkeeper should not be the one playing the ball backwards, and instead, they should take responsibility and play forward. However, he observed that his players were making lateral and backward passes, which he didn't quite understand.
When asked about his pre-match comments, Rydstrom was clearly agitated and admitted, "Yes, I'm obviously stupid." Meanwhile, Rangers boss Philippe Clement was overjoyed with his team's performance in the Europa League. He described it as the "perfect start to the campaign" and praised Malmo as a difficult opponent to play against due to their chaotic style of play. He commended his players for sticking to the game plan and putting in a massive effort throughout the 90 minutes.
