TEAM’S PERFORMANCE
Although they lost the match against Zoo by a solitary goal, the Swedish coaches were impressed by the performance of the youthful side.
“We are in partnership with them (Gottne FC). They will be coming to foster that partnership and there is a possibility of at least two players joining the Swedish side in April,” Talanta head coach Michael Nam said
The Gottne officials are coach Roger Dannberg, trainer Sandra Svennsson, Mats Falck and Jens Lindahl, both directors of the club.
According to Nam, his technical bench in collocation with Gottne officials was to conduct a joint training session for his Talanta on Tuesday.
