Closer to the Swedish Champions - Djurgårdens IF

Djurgårdens IF is charging to defend their Swedish Championship gold. Jesper Karlström is the new captain: he was on his way to a life as a foreign professional but had to let go of that thought, and was also forced to see that his diabetes was an obstacle in the negotiations.

Super-Bo completes its latest signing and then heads to the home premiere, unaware of what cold shower awaits. Oscar Pettersson is happy with his first Allsvenskan goal, but for the team, the setbacks have only just begun.

It is 31 degrees hot in Stockholm but there is still an ice cold in DIF after two straight losses, and a press contingent arrives in Kaknäs to put the coaches against the wall. CEO-Henrik is fighting to keep the economy under control, and an important match is imminent.

Gold goalkeeper Tommi Vaiho was benched against Kalmar. Instead, Per Kristian Bråtveit stood between the posts for the first time in the Allsvenskan in over a year. The DIF podcast makes an episode in Poklarummet and at the same time Bosse Andersson guides around in Tele2 Arena together with the new acquisition, Jesper Nyholm, who is seriously starting to compete for a place on the team

There are still closed training sessions at Kaknäs, due to Corona. Not everyone who wants to visit the facility can do so but some dear, familiar faces, show up, this week. Another intense period with three matches in eight days has been completed and it puts the players' strength to the test. For Jonathan Augustinsson, diet is the key to maintaining energy before every match. The week ends with a train journey, from Stockholm Södra, for an away match against IFK Gothenburg.

The hate mail is ready, but the "Send" button gets stuck when right-back Witry fires a cannon shot at the right time. One of the team's profiles takes time-out from football, a famous columnist is careless at Tele2 Arena and Jacob Une Larsson suffers a triple accident.

Two eternities seek their end. After nine years without an Allsvenskan derby victory against AIK, it is now time for Djurgården to take on rivals from Solna. And before that, the newcomer Jesper Nyholm will make his first Allsvenskan start after his hellish injury.

Jacob Une Larsson creates a modern version of Little Red Riding Hood. The team's two fastest players are injured and are fighting against the clock to get back in shape. An open transfer window puts Bosse Andersson to work, and Melker Jonsson has forgotten something very important.

Captain Karlström has misbehaved and is banished to the TV couch with a bowl of candy. The team's most famous player shows off The Batcave and meets his mother club. A man in a tie holds out an important piece of paper, and right now it's getting tough.

CEO Henrik is forced to experience the worst part of his job and crouches in a corner. Fans' hopes are immediately fulfilled when two missing players return.

The cascade vomit lurks in the throat when it's time for the Champions League qualifiers in Hungary. The nicest go to town, the others play cards. Dissatisfied Djurgårdsminer is turned upside down when Super-Bosse gives the pen to Magnus Eriksson.

Berit gets to stand in the stands again and watch DIF win, after Anders Tegnell started talking numbers. Ajdarexit becomes a fact. Curtis Edwards shows what it takes to win, and Mange Eriksson steps into the flat match that the virus tried to stop.

A thousand bad jokes are suddenly ready when Jonathan Ring gets engaged and goes to the goldsmith. Bosse is butter during the Europa League draw, and one of Djurgården's most classic places is threatened by the corona virus.

Kim Bergstrand lands in that he is not very good at anything, but not bad either. Elliot Käck's dad has a pretty cool job. In the middle of an important match, Bosse Andersson pulls in and saves a player who happened to dress for paintball.

Europa FC comes to visit and receives a warm welcome before everyone becomes dissatisfied with everything. The newest member of the player squad has many good friends who take off their shoes indoors. In Östersund, things are going well for DIF, almost the entire match.

The damage rages before the match of possibilities, and the cynicism arouses anger. A British gentleman in a mask is very reminiscent of Anthony Hopkins. Emir Kujovic does not get much time but does what he is supposed to and says what he thinks.

All glory is at stake when it's time for the derby against Hammarby. Mange Eriksson picks up the Blue Steel mine and meets an old derby veteran. The management has the knife to the throat in the audience issue, and Jesper Nyholm works overtime.

The audience issue reaches a crescendo at the same time as Djurgårdarna changes football to a more trendy sport. Lots of heights get lost on the way to the headquarters. The sky opens over the Kista but Tommi Vaiho welcomes the rain.

Malmö FF comes to visit to show who the new kings are. Coach-Tolle goes out into the woods to search for mushrooms and truth. In a rainy Stockholm, a big step is taken towards Christmas, and a Djurgårds striker in goal form cashes in three points to another team.

Everything may seem simple when you have won, but one prime minister still goes on the pump while another says a maximum of 300. The physio team fights to get people in shape. Djurgården competes in business and embarks on the edge war, and success breeds success.

Happy DIF supporters draw lottery tickets and are nominated for future derby audiences, until reality knocks on the door. Haris Radetinac positions itself closer to 50 than 20 and celebrates in the best way. The seductive gold dream comes to visit as quickly as possible.
