Kristianstad has been a bit in the shadow of the two favorites Rosengård and Gothenburg in this year's Allsvenskan.

But now, with four rounds left, they are third, four points behind Rosengård, and three points ahead of Linköping.

And third place is something you really want to defend.

It gives a ticket to the Champions League qualifiers.

In the last round, you also meet Linköping at home.

- There will be war in the end, says Therese Sessy Åsland.

All teams in the series are tough to face in their own way.

Kristianstad has played very well against the top teams.

Except in the first meeting against Rosengård and Gothenburg at the very beginning of the series.

But during the summer and autumn, all three up there have been defeated.

- We have had respect for Rosengård and Gothenburg.

But not too much respect.

We've talked about what we need to do to beat them.

Important third place

The third place, the one that gives Champions League games, is of course important.

- As a winner, I'm not happy to come third.

But that means a lot with the Champions League.

Both for me and for the team, she says.

However, she states that Kristianstad should not be involved to be involved.

- We will work hard and train hard to achieve something, not just go out right away.

In addition to the final sprint in the Allsvenskan and the hope for a European game, Therese Sessy Åsland has a great wish.

- I really hope that there will not be a new six-month pre-season.
