When Rikard Grip visited the Winter Studio, it was a former league captain who said he had moved on from the national team with his new role in SOK. But it is, after all, that he is influenced by the criticism directed at the new management.
- Of course it is that you are affected by it and I know a lot of the people I worked very closely for a very long time too, he says.
"I really think you have to give them peace and quiet"He then goes on to say that patience is needed around the new management, and that it is unreasonable to compare with some who have worked for many years and gained many experiences.
- I think they really need to get some peace and quiet and get time to work together. We had a great many of us together for nine years, then it is clear that you become a very welded bunch and it works very well. So I really think you have to give them peace and quiet and time to set their own frameworks and their own ways of working, and then it will be very good.
"Don't think it's chaotic"He also does not agree that there has been such a big chaos in the national team as it seemed in the media.
- I don't think it's chaotic. However, there have been challenges with what has happened over the past year. As I said, I think you have to get stability and peace and quiet.
