It was a bitter end to the world championship in ice hockey for Tre Kronor.
They collapsed in the quarterfinals against Canada and lost in overtime, 3-4.
Afterwards, both Carl Klingberg and Oliver Ekman-Larsson choose to show their support for Johan Garpenlöv.
The league captain ends after the World Cup.
He has endured tough criticism during his years, where failures hailed closely.
- Once again, it ends with a result that no one wants.
We are all very disappointed, says Klingberg.
"Personalized Three Crowns"
He continues:
- They wanted to give him so much more.
At the same time, Garpenlöv should be proud of himself.
He has personified Tre Kronor in a good way.
He has the support of all players in the back.
Team captain Oliver Ekman-Larsson reasons in a similar way.
- I feel most sorry for Garpenlöv right now.
He has put in an incredible job and has not had an easy journey.
We wanted to do something special for him here.
