Kalmar FF was last year's big surprise in the Allsvenskan.

The team finished in an impressive seventh place and many eyes have since been on the club.

- This year we have more pressure on us than in previous years where people place us higher up in the table.

But that is where you want to be and we want to show how we can play, says the offensive Kalmar midfielder Isak Jansson to SVT Sport.

- We in the group have talked about that we should only think about what we can do and influence.

We should try to do it as well as possible and not think about the noise around.

"Will be able to hurt all teams"

In the premiere, Kalmar fell against Malmö FF, but in the last round Varbergs Bois was beaten 3-0.

Jansson believes that Kalmar has good chances of making a better season than last year.

- It is the second year with Henrik Rydström now and I think we will be able to show a better game.

We want to be able to stand up a little better against the top four teams.

We gave up in some matches and that is above all what we should do better.

We need to go out and show courage, we know we are good when we do the right thing and not much else.

Then we will be able to hurt all teams in the Allsvenskan.

He pays tribute to coach Rydström.

- He's a good coach.

He spends a lot of time on football, we have long days with a lot of theory and he really wants to know how to play and is clear about that.

There he is damn careful.

"That's my main focus"

The 20-year-old himself had a successful 2021 - but chooses to focus on the present.

- I'm just thinking about the next match, it may sound cliché, but it really is.

I just want to do better in the next match and training.

I want to be able to take more responsibility now and contribute more than I did last year.

That is my main focus this year.

If you can fantasize about the future.

Where do you see yourself?

Do you have a dream destination?

- In that case, my favorite team Liverpool.

It would have been a dream to be able to play there at some point.

I actually do not know why.

When Gerrard and everyone was there, I liked them from the beginning.
