Ingemar Linköping, now the president and director of marketing in bandyallsvenska Lidköpings AIK, thinking for a moment and admits without further ado:
” It was I who destroyed everything.
At the corners, all the players from the defending team to be on or behind the extended goal line within the penalty area. During the later part of 1900s and early 2000s, it was common that, in principle, all the players rushed out to the potential shooters to prevent the goal.
The majority of managed so-so. Some teams scored on every fifth corner, the other on almost every fourth.
Ingemar Linköping coach in the Gripen from Trollhättan, sweden playing in the Swedish elitserien. After the team released into corner after corner in the beginning of the series, he made a drastic change.
” I thought about it and then said to the guys ”now we are testing a new variant”, or new and new, it was used a lot in my youth, but now I took it back. It worked very well.
” We were left with seven outfield players on the goal line and let the three ”dödspiloter” the rush towards hörnskyttarna.
Several of the players were initially reluctant to accept the coach’s new plan.
” When I presented the concept there was someone who said, ”shall we stand still and wait to be met, then one can be hurt?”
My answer was: To play bandy hurts if you want results. Is there anyone who is afraid to get hurt, I can propose a sport called bowling instead.

changed, it was just London who managed to score a goal in the team’s corner the season.
“It was Joakim Hedqvist, which shot just under the crossbar,” says Ingemar Linköping.
” It was lots of little blåprickiga on the chest when the season was over, but no serious damage had we not.
the Law after the law took after The successful concept, which means that the target is covered, apart from the holes that occur when the player’s skates and between the helmets and the bar is of 2.10 m in height.
this season, 2018/19, statistics show that only 280 of the 2.616 corners that have been in the league has gone in the goal, 10.7 per cent.
” For us, it got power on both ends of the pitch. Since we have not conceded goals on corner kicks step the self-confidence and we began to make much more goals ahead, ” says Ingemar Linköping.
Internationally, it was Kazakhstan that started with it here. It was Alexei Kurotjkin who played in the Grapple then looked at Kazakhstan began with the new hörntaktiken during the world CUP in Moscow in 2008.
Svenne Olsson remembers well when the tactics on the bandyhörnor changed.
– the Season 2007/2008 was my first as a coach in Broberg. We met the Grapple, and I remember wondering, ”what the hell are they with, are they not wise that stands, it may well not be that difficult to knock up a corner in the nättaket”. But it quickly became apparent how effective it was, and we copied just like any other of their tactics.
– It is real hårdingar who stand in defense on a corner, either prepared to get shot in the chest, or to throw himself in front of a shooter who throws the ball at 160 km/h.

The players rushing out to the shooters at the corners has a particularly exposed role. Sometimes they go down on their knees to cover even larger area.
” you have to have a particular psyche if you have to be good at to rush towards the shooters. Moreover, to do it right – don’t rush against the archer’s body, but to the point where he hits the ball. Martin Johansson of the Villa is absolutely the best of all on that particular detail, ” says Ingemar Linköping.
in both club Villa Lidköping and the national team. He put a lot of time to prepare how he should rush on the corners in the different matches.
– they are Usually three in central defence also those who are rushing on the corners. We are used to cover the shot even in the regular game, and good at knowing where the target is when we rush out, ” he says.
– the Display is an important part of the sport. I analyze how the shooters are moving and the variations of different teams. I remember how most usually shoot.
Johansson’s role is to throw himself in front of the shooters to prevent goals has cost. In the other semi-final against Edsbyn in march in fjolårssäsongens the playoffs, he rushed out to cover a hörnskott from Edsbyns hårdskjutande striker Mattias Hammarström. That the match was in the final minutes and that the Villa was in the lead with 7-1 played no role, he wagered for the full.
with one hand, but the shot took ill in the middle of the ball joint that connects the thumb with the handloven.
” the Ball was crushed, it exploded. The doctors didn’t think it was possible that it was a bandyboll that had caused it, ” he says.
– After the operation, nobody knew how it would be. They screwed me together with a position sitting outside skin, the one I went with in three months. But once I got of me and could start rehabträna it went better than what many thought.
– Yes, the thumb is fine now, but when it gets much matches as it hurts, it will do until I replace the points.
– the ball Itself in the trail is not so round and nice anymore, it is a bit obtuse, but it works.
” I was thinking a bit on how the brain would work in that situation, but as I stood there so released it. The difference is that I’m not as active when it comes to cover shoots on the workout longer, in the match do I act in the same way as before.

the work team closely with to prepare for the opposing corners.
– All that rushing on the corners sit and look at the video before the matches. In the national team, it is a bit more difficult to analyze the opponents, because we encounter the law as few times. Another difficult thing to rush in the world CUP is that there are so many in the different teams that shoot well, in the club world cup is usually one or two given shooters. In Russia and Finland, it can vary between four, five or even six different shooters, ” says Martin Johansson during Monday’s match against Finland was a hörnskott straight in the face. After having been sewn, he was able to continue in the second half.
Coach Svenne Olsson develops how the team tactics looks like.
– Normally, the rush we with four players, sometimes five if they have really good shooters, ” he says.
Goalies may also develop how they want it. Usually we have four players heritage the direction of the corner is coming from, then the goalkeeper and then the two closest to the far post.
– In the national team, rushing the players into blocks of two and two, but some rusare, Martin Johansson, can alone take a shot.
” We’re talking us up pretty closely on this, different teams in various ways. It is as hockeytränare that studying the other team’s powerplay-game.
is, of course, for the Swedish national team: world CUP-gold. And the players are prepared to sacrifice a lot for it.
” I’ll get up pictures of how it was when we won world CUP in Sandviken, sweden in 2017. To get to do it with a lot of people in the stands in Calgary, I will do everything that we do, ” says Martin Johansson.
David Pizzoni Elfving, another of the ”dödspiloterna” in the Swedish national team, agrees and sums up the feeling of throwing himself in front of a rock hard bandyboll:
” It does more hurt to drop a case than to get the ball.
