Before last season, Victor Edvardsen was close to signing for AIK, a controversial choice in many ways.
Edvardsen grew up in Gothenburg as a supporter and he represented "Blåvitt" at the youth level.
The rumors of a transfer to the competitor AIK did not land well with the supporters of both teams.
In addition, Degerfors was not eager to sell its striker.
Today he looks back on a tough time with a lot of hatred and threats from outside.
"Became a driving force"
- Some things hit hard.
But all the hatred I received from outside, I turned to something positive.
It became a driving force.
I wanted to show that what you write… you get a slap in the face back and it went pretty well.
- Then I do not think that Degerfors would have played in the Allsvenskan this year if I was not there last year, he says.
How happy are you that the transfer to AIK never happened?
- Considering that I am from Gothenburg and their history.
It's pure hatred as well.
- There was a lot of hatred and writing last year.
Then I probably would not have broken through in the same way if I had left Degerfors.
I'm very happy that I'm the one in the colors I'm in today.
"Good place"
How are you today?
- I'm in a good place in life.
Has signed for one of Sweden's biggest clubs and life on the side is going well.
It's easy to be in my life right now.
