Danish national team player Sofie Bredgaard came to Rosengård a year ago. The 21-year-old left Linköping hastily when she learned that her father was ill.
"The last day the transfer window was open, her agent contacted me and told me that Sofie wanted to get closer home," says Rosengård's sporting director Therese Sjögran.
Bredgaard himself talks about the turbulent time in SVT's new documentary series "Mästarlivet".
"We were told it wasn't a blood clot, it was a tumour and then there were a lot of question marks about what would happen. And I had a really hard time being in that," she says.
"I just felt like 'you can't do that'. I'm such a family person that I just felt like they've always been there for me. I'll also be there fighting.
"Gotta feel good off the field"
The move to Malmö gave a calm and shorter distance to the family. Over time, Sofie Bredgaard told her new teammates about her father's illness and received a lot of support.
"I have to feel good off the pitch to be able to perform on the pitch. It's very important. Because otherwise there can be an awful lot of football, if it's all about that. Of course, a lot is about football, but it is also important to have "breaks" from there.
Sofie Bredgaard's father Frants has gone through treatment and the family is hopeful for the future. He is glad that his daughter had the opportunity to move closer to Denmark.
"It's done a lot that we've been able to get over and she's been able to come home when there's been a need for it. It's obviously hard to balance, but I have a feeling that she has good teammates here in Rosengård and good leaders around her who have supported.
The documentary series "Mästarlivet" premieres on March 24 on SVT Play.
