    • Källman: Our goal is the EHF FINAL4

    This year has been a different one considering the restrictions all over Europe due to the Covid pandemic and with his side one of the worst hit, Källman is of course well aware of the challenges involved.

    "Will have to try and adapt as well as possible and show our supporters that we still are a strong team, especially at home. If we want to reach the top we have to win our home games.

    Szeged are one of the strongest home teams in Europe and have won 17 straight home games in Europe's top flight.

    “I was born in Växjö, which is only a half an hour drive from Kristianstad, so I have friends and relatives in the area who will attend the match, so at least, I will have some support among the spectators,” smiles the year-old Swedish international.

    “Apart from that, I am not really sure how I will be received by the crowd in the Kristianstad Arena, but I hope that the fact that I play in the national team will at least earn me a bit of applause,” he adds, laughing.

    Even though it has been 13 years since he left Sweden, he still recalls how difficult an away court the Kristianstad Arena is.
