Robin Olsen today conducted his first training session with Malmö FF.
The match debut, on the other hand, is delayed by bad luck with the game schedule.
Something that arouses frustration from the national team goalkeeper.
– I don’t know who decides all that, but it is clear that it stings, he says.

Several new faces participated when Malmö trained the day after the match against Mjällby. Joseph Ceesay is back after the loan in Cesena has now expired. The 27-year-old’s contract extends over the 2026 season, but most of it indicates that he will be loaned again.
Also on site was Robin Olsen who completed his first pass after the return. National team goalkeeper shone directly with a couple of high -octane rescues during the match play.
– Fantastic fun be up and running here with the guys. It is difficult to describe. I am Malmö guy and have been here as the kids do here now and begging about gloves, shorts and t-shirts. Everything like that, so it means a lot to come home. There are emotions that are difficult to describe, he says after the training session.
What goalkeepers were you begging gloves off?
– It was Jonnie (fideline), (Mattias) Asper. Jonnie I know that I never got any gloves there but I got autograph cards so I was happy for.

“Just want more”
Olsen left Malmö exactly ten years ago and there has been a lot of water under the sky -blue bridges since then.
– I have seen and followed the development and the club has taken huge steps where we are today. This is exactly what Europe games every year, that’s how it should be. To see themselves as favorites for the SM gold, that’s how it should be. But also that a lot has happened inside the building and there are more people so it is incredibly fun to see that you have taken the steps.
The 35-year-old himself joined and started the success that Malmö is now in with the historical advance to the Champions League group play in 2014. He especially remembers the decisive playoff victory against Redbull Salzburg.
– It was fantastic. The whole year was .. You have looked back on some clips from there so you want to be over again.
– Now I have had to play out in Europe during these ten years also that I have been out and it is something special. Champions League, that’s where you want to be. If you have been there once, you just want more and be involved in it again.
“Obviously it is stinging”
The Champions League comeback in the Malmö shirt, on the other hand, has to wait. The Swedish transition window opens July 8 and the same evening the Scania will start the qualification away against Iberia in 1999.

But in order to participate in the first round, Olsen had to be registered in the squad no later than the day before the first match, which is now not possible. The fact that it was a match Tuesday instead of Wednesday means that he misses the double meeting.
– It was burning. No, but then. I don’t know who decides all that, but it is clear that it stings. I mean, one day. It’s just over, but now is what is.

Instead, the debut will be done at home against Norrköping on July 12. Olsen is in good trim and thinks it is annoying to sit at the sideline, as yesterday on Strandvallen.
– It was frustrating. Damn, some situations and some verdicts. You sit there with completely different feelings than when you are on the pitch but it was really nice to be back with the club. Now I was not involved with the squad but to still be a part of it.
How do you view the gold chances after the point loss?
– It’s tough, but nothing is run. Absolutely not. I come in here now with the goal of winning and I hope that everyone in there has too. There is nothing that has been run yet, but on the other hand we have to start winning matches and take the score because there are several teams involved up there. It is up to ourselves.
