We are not the most attractive players in the world

When Karol Mets came to his first training with AIK he had already learned lagkamraternas name. He had time for two practices before he debuted. He will be prepared.

"I think I could have made it better," says 25-year-old where we sit in the sun outside Karlberg, the day before Wednesday's match against the Hedge.

He does not seem particularly concerned.

"of Course, everyone wants to make it better and better," he says.

came from the Dutch NAC Breda as a replacement to last year's sensation Robin Jansson, and went straight into AIK:s defense.

His own judgement about his performance the first four matches is modest.

" I think it has been okay. I do not think it has been very good or very bad, it has been an okay start.

He has taken the route via Norway, and the Netherlands to AIK and allsvenskan, which is one of the few federation in a country that has never qualified for a championship, and where ”people like to play football, but there are not so many people go to the matches”, he says.

– It is not easy, of course, for we are not the most attractive players in the world. But you just have to work hard and so you have to have some luck and take their chances when they come. It is all there in total. So you have to be ready to take his chance.

" I just used my chances well when I got them. It is what it is all about.

AIK lost by, against Örebro, and has no more than five points after four rounds. But it is målskyttet rather than the defensive, which received criticism.

– the Impression is good. The teams play good football and everyone can beat everyone, so it makes it exciting. It is an interesting challenge, " he says.

– It is very difficult to compare, but the tempo of the game is a little higher in Holland, and the way to think maybe a little more anfallsinriktat.

" I believe that real football is played on grass, but if there are circumstances so you have to take it. It is the same for all. But, of course, there is nothing you wish. It is just something you have to deal with.

Something that has impressed him is the AIK-fans.

" Every time we play at home it is crazy. As a footballer, you are very happy for the opportunity to play in front of such a large audience.
