AIK's recent times have been characterized by stable efforts and victories.
Solnalaget has five straight wins in the Allsvenskan and marches into the derby against Hammarby, which is played on Sunday, with good feeling.
- We do not take anything for granted, we are proud of ourselves but we still have a lot to work with, says Nabil Bahoui to SVT Sport.
Initially, things went awry for AIK and according to Bahoui, they managed to get a turnaround after a look in the rearview mirror.
- We grabbed the defensive, all the way from the goalkeeper and up to us in the offensive.
We are compact and work as one unit.
That is the main reason why it turned around.
"Always a little more prestige"
Hammarby on Sunday, how will it be?
- Many Poles cheering on them and one of the neighbors in Stockholm.
We all fight to be the best in the country, but above all the best in Stockholm.
It will always be a folk festival, full in the stands.
Cool match.
New for some, but not as new for those who have been around for a while.
We're there to pick up a third.
Will it be extra nice if you get to beat Hammarby and tease a little with your polar bears who are holding them then?
- Absolutely, this also applies to Djurgården.
Stockholm has three big teams and I do not think anyone only has poles from a single side only.
It gets extra fun when you win so you can tease a little.
It's always a little more prestige than usual.
It will be a really tough match.
"Will certainly be difficult"
For your part as a striker, what will you take advantage of for weaknesses in the Hammarby defense?
- I will continue on the same track and lie on a roll.
My task is to create situations and try to score goals.
I will certainly be difficult for them.
That's my focus.
Do you think that the Bajen defenders also think that you will be difficult?
- I really hope so.
Otherwise you have to raise yourself a notch.
But you can ask them that.
