On 19 May, IFK Gothenburg announced that it was ending its collaboration with Tobias Sana.

An incident at half time against Kalmar was the triggering factor, Blåvitt claimed.

The main character now reproduces, for the first time, his version of what happened in the dressing room.

Sana was unhappy with the team's press game and wanted to see a change.

- It was a conversation and I raised my hand and said "their right back looks like (Lionel) Messi on the pitch, he gets a lot of time and I get to chase him all the time.

I look bad in my press game, we have to find a solution ".

I think the coach (Mikael Stahre) got annoyed.

My wish was that we would get better.

When he said "focus!"

loudly, I stood up and replied "I'm focused" and went against him.

When we left the locker room, he said "focus on the match now", then we did "high-five", Sana tells SVT Sport.

- In the first situation in the second half, I press their right back and Stahre shouts "fantastic".

The message shocked Sana

The next day, Sana was called in for a meeting with the coaches.

It was announced that he would be given a week off to think about the incident while they would analyze the situation.

Blåvitt stated that the leave was for "personal reasons".

The following week, another meeting awaited, which the 32-year-old himself describes as constructive.

But only days later, during the next call, Blåvitt announced that they were releasing the outsider - a message that shocked the player.

- That this incident should do this, it hurts, it hurts me.

It's so unprofessional.

Blåvitt then wrote that your actions "violated the club's values ​​of friendly and professional conduct".

How do you look at it?

- I would rather say that they have gone against their own values ​​with friendship in terms of how they have excluded me, where I have not been allowed to train, say goodbye to my teammates, where I have had to go in a vacuum mentally and not know what to take place.

It is rather they who have made me suffer in this.

They also write that over time there has been a dissatisfaction from you?

- If I have been dissatisfied for a long time, how is it possible that I have been captain under three different coaches?

How can I become an archangel (a prize for loyalty to the club, appointed by the supporter club Änglarna)?

I wanted to extend my contract and play the rest of my career here.

As you approached Stahre in the dressing room.

Was it threatening?

Can he perceive it that way?

- Really not threatening.

We sat down like me and you are sitting now.

If he thought it was over the limit, so be it.

But if it's over the limit, people should be shut down every day.

The coach is always right.

That I answered back and raised the tone back, that's wrong.

Of course I take responsibility.

How do you see Stahre as a person after this?

- He has given me a lot of confidence, I was the assistant captain and it indicates that he likes me.

This situation for me is that we have not had an honest chance to talk about this.

The situation is for me as it is.

I will not allow this incident to displease anyone.

Life goes on.

"It hurts so much"

Previously, Blåvitt has chosen to go their separate ways.

Now they say it's mutual.

What has happened along the way?

- In all this, they have understood that they have made some kind of mistake.

There I, together with my agent, tried to agree on a way.

It is now clear that WE have agreed.

SVT Sport has been in contact with IFK Gothenburg club director Håkan Mild who does not want to comment on Sana's statements further and refers to previous press releases.
