the Name Alexander Kacaniklic gets enough of a bell to ring for the connoisseurs of English football – and FC Copenhagen in particular.
The former Swedish national team player got a half a season at ’the Lions’ as udlejningsspiller from Fulham in the autumn of 2014, after he in a few seasons had been rented out to a few other clubs.
The Swedish offensive player so long in addition to having become a Liverpool player, after that he as a 15-year-old switched from Helsingborg to the English team.
Here he got several good years on the club’s youth team, but since Roy Hodgson arrived in the summer of 2010, smoke Kacaniklic out. But it was a mistake, he says to the Lundhs Podcast on the Swedish Fotbollskanalen.
Roy Hodgson would have the player Paul Konchesky from Fulham, who in turn would have Kacaniklic and Lauri Dalla Valle in exchange. But the experienced manager had misunderstood the names, it was clear when the two spoke together:
– I was in Fulham just before that I wrote below, and there I had a telephone conversation with Roy Hodgson. There we came up to that he had swapped the wrong Alex. In his head he thought that he had swapped a different Alex for Konchesky. But it was too late. It is a little funny, says Alexander Kacaniklic.
When the manager realized his mistake, he offered, however, that the swede could return.
– He said I was welcome back in Liverpool, but that I had to do it, I felt for it, says Alexander Kacaniklic, who, however, chose to stay in Fulham.
I had already changed my mindset and was very excited to come to Fulham.
It became a 100 matches in the Premier League and the Championship for the London club, before Kacaniklic in 2016, traveled to the French Nantes, which, however, repealed his contact to the new year.
Therefore, he is now to find in the group have won … which he in weekend debuts for Hammarby against Elfsborg.
