Emil Hansson – “Blues career likely over”
Speaking to Swedish sports outlet Fotbollskanalen, he said his spell at Birmingham City is almost certainly over.
“I came back for pre-season and I had trained hard. I wanted to give it a chance. But very early on I got the message that I needed to move on. I wasn’t even in pre-season, I had to train alongside a few other players. It was of course tough. But that’s part of the game. They invest to get into the Premier League.
“For me it was sad, because when I left the Netherlands I wanted to go to something where I could play for a couple of years. I signed a three-year contract and that was what I assumed. It was sad, but that’s life as a footballer and especially abroad. It can be brutal sometimes.
“As long as they respect my contract, I can’t say anything. Sometimes there’s a fuss with players who want to leave a club, like with Alexander Isak. But people don’t see when a club comes to a player and says “you have to go”.
“There’s a lot of rubbish that happens in the world of football. I don’t know. I try to see the positive, that I learn from it. You also learn from tough times and things don’t always go as you planned. You have to keep fighting and just take it day by day. Things can change quickly in football. All of a sudden I get a start, score a goal and then you’re off and running. I try to have a positive mindset.”
