“I have always wanted to go my own way””
“Listed Lina Ljungblom before the ice-hockey world CHAMPIONSHIP”
“Lina Ljungblom, 17, has made a success in the national team and is ready for the world CUP-debut.”
“But listed from Skövde continues to nobba SDHL – to play with the guys.”
” It is clear to me that I crave. But the better I get to before I move, the more fun I will have, ” she says.”
“today’s start Of the ice hockey world CHAMPIONSHIP in Finland.”
“For eight of the players in the Indoor becomes the mästerskapsdebut and one of the players that will skrinna out on the ice for the first time in the world CUP context, this is Lina Ljungblom.”
“the 17-year-old landslagsdebuterade in August and has been responsible for seven points in eight games in the a-team this season, a maximum of poängsnitt of all.”
“– I look forward to it extremely much, and can’t wait until it kicks off. The nervousness has not arrived yet and I’m mostly just psyched, ” says Ljungblom when we talk to her in the days before the premiere.”
” It is clear that there will be a little nervous before, but out on the ice, I feel safe. Know I know what to expect.”
“”It has been the best for me””
“unlike the vast majority of lagkamraterna in the national team don’t play Lina Ljungblom in the SDHL. It is not about the young age, for it is missing, definitely not promotions.”
“She has chosen to nobba elitklubbarna for his own development’s sake.”
“Ljungblom has certainly made a substitute for HV71 in the SDHL in the autumn – and scored two goals directly – but for everyday playing, she junior hockey at home in Skövde, sweden with the guys.”
“” I have chosen to stay because I develop more in killhockeyn. I think it has been the best for me in the year and next season. It is clear that I do want to play in a SDHL-club and maybe it is more fun to play in a women’s team. But the better I get to before I move, the more fun I will have, ” says Ljungblom.”
“So it is clear that you stay in Skövde next season?”
” I have not decided completely yet, but it feels like it. I have one year left of high school and want to go clear it before I move so it does not affect the school. The school is important.”
“It must require a deal of courage to stand up for himself and go his own way?”
” I always wanted to go my own way. I have never had any role model as I really have looked up to either. Everyone wants to move to a SDHL-club and say that it is so large, but it might not always be the best.”
“– If I reach far and get asked how or why I have managed to I want to be able to say that I have gone my own way and that it is possible to succeed anyway.”
“Thrive best in front of goal.”
“Ljungblom describes himself as a physical player who is happy to stand where it burns most – in front of the goal. It is a result of the fact that she plays and trains with the guys, ” she explains.”
“– the Tempo is about the same as with the girls, but the tempo with the puck, I get with me from the guys. Passes, receptions, and all that. Then we have the physical and tuffheten. That I do a lot of target in front of goal, it’s something guys train a lot on. Then it becomes that I do so when I come to damhockeyn also, some girls can be a bit difficult for it, I think.”
“Is it difficult to set about the game from the gentlemen to the ladies when it comes to tackles?”
” No, it only becomes natural when I play with the girls. But it still affect my game, I want to use the body more, but can’t do it with the girls. So it is clear it affects, but it is nothing that I need to go around and think about.”
“Ljungblom outspoken in that the goal is the medal for the Indoor. Something that has not happened in a world championships since 2007, when including the swedes turned a 2-1 disadvantage in the third period against the year’s host nation Finland.”
“When was Lina only five years old.”
“– There are certainly many who do not believe on us and on the basis of the results the last time. But I think we can take a medal, everyone in the team believe in it and all want to win.”
“Ljungblom has actually already had a taste of a championship medal. Under the leadership of the current coach Ylva Martinsen she was part of the U18-national team that took a surprising silver in the world junior CHAMPIONSHIPS 2018. An important experience to carry with you in your backpack ahead of a senior world CHAMPIONSHIPS, she admits.”
“– Yes, it is clear. It is win or disappear, the knockout stages of a world CUP weighs heavier than everything else and you know how much it means now.”
“How do you manage to get into as a young ”super talent” in the team, and what it means?”
“” I have amazing lagkompisar that makes you feel safe. Man may do wrong but get angry. Even though I’m the youngest and do not have the experience that others in the team, I can contribute positively with the new energy.”
“– I show no respect for those we encounter, in a good way if you understand?”
“You don’t care if the name on the back or what flag they have on the chest?”
“– Just. I think that it is impossible or that they are unbeatable. If it is Russia or Canada we face, I don’t really care. It is like any team at any time on the other side and I will do what is necessary to win.”
