Degerfors captain Sundgren calls for more desperate actions

Daniel Sundgren wants his teammates to be more aggressive in their high press despite extending unbeaten run to three matches with 1-1 result

Degerfors IF captain Daniel Sundgren believes his side can improve their high pressing game despite extending their unbeaten streak to three matches with a 1-1 draw against BK Häcken (https://swedishfootballnews.com/news/hacken-drop-points-degerfors-draw-allsvenskan).

"I think we can be somewhat more desperate when it comes to our high press, we can steal some extra balls and be a bit more careful," Sundgren told https://www.kt-kuriren.se/2026/05/02/kaptenen-efter-krysset-defensiven-fungerar-jattebra-fef84/

The experienced defender praised his team's second-half performance after they came from behind to secure a valuable point. Degerfors found themselves trailing 1-0 but showed resilience to earn a draw that continues their positive run in Sweden's top flight.

"I think we had a good second half, we stayed in the match even though it was 1-0, which gave us a point in the end," Sundgren explained.

While pleased with the team's defensive stability, Sundgren acknowledged ongoing issues with conceding penalties. The match against Häcken saw another penalty awarded against them following an incident involving Nasiru Moro.

Sundgren, who recently returned from an Achilles injury, played the full 90 minutes despite physical discomfort. "The body feels so-so now after 90 minutes, but you just have to rest and go again," he said.

The result maintains Degerfors' momentum as they look to have a better season in allsvenskan this year, with their captain emphasizing the importance of defensive solidity while seeking improvements in their attacking press.
