Simon Hedefalk is completely open that the rule change has affected the team building ahead of the season.
- Yes, it's a lot of power, a lot of strength.
They should be able to take hits and they should be able to give hits.
Because the game will change.
There won't be such extreme differences, but it will obviously be a deciding factor in the long run, he says and continues:
- The process around the team has really been to use physics and that we should be able to play that way.
The players we have brought in have shown it.
Now we just have to get it in the game as well.
Hedefalk believes tackles will mean fewer goals.
- It is one of the consequences of our having a more physical game.
It is more difficult to get on target.
Inconvenient maybe, for some.
I believe in a lower goal average than before, precisely for that reason, he says.
