All you need to know about Malmo!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Bnei Yehuda visits Malmo in Sweden for a first leg Playoff Round Europa League qualifier on Thursday night. In order to get to know the Scandinavian club a bit better, The Sports Rabbi was in touch with <strong>Mattias Larsson<\/strong>, a football columnist and reporter covering Malm\u00f6 FF for Sweden\u2019s largest sports daily Expressen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are Malmo\u2019s key players?<\/strong><br \/>\nFirst and foremost is the captain <strong>Markus Rosenberg<\/strong>. At 37 years old he is in the final months of his career and at the end of the season he will retire. That being said, he is still performing at a very high level, perhaps not as high as when he led the team to the Champions League group stages in 2014 and 2015, but not that far behind. The former Swedish international has played in the European Championship and the World cup and for Ajax, Werder Bremen, Racing Santander and West Bromwich. <\/p>\n<p>Rosenberg started playing for Malm\u00f6 as a five year old which is also true of the second most important player, central defender Rasmus Bengtsson \u2013 previously at Hertha Berlin and Twente.<\/p>\n<p>Iceland International Arnor Traustason who is just back from injury, and keeper Johan Dahlin are also critical players for Malmo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What style of football does Malmo play?<\/strong><br \/>\nMalm\u00f6 plays 3-5-2 under coach Uwe R\u00f6sler, which is very unusual for a club which peaked in the mid 1970s when they reached the European Cup Final losing 1\u20130 to Nottingham in 1979 while playing 4\u20134\u20132. <\/p>\n<p>Malm\u00f6 loves being in possession, trying to go forward through the central midfielders than finding a wing back for a cross or directly reaching an attacker. On defense MFF is very offensive, playing what R\u00f6sler calls high energy football \u2013 trying to win the ball quick and as close to the opponents goal as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the coach:<\/strong><br \/>\nUwe R\u00f6sler grew up in East Germany and was schooled in sports by the State of DDR. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he became a pro and had his best spell at Manchester City. His track record in Malm\u00f6 is eminent. He was appointed last summer (mid season) and took Malm\u00f6 from 12th to 3rd in the League. <\/p>\n<p>He also reached the Europa League group stages finishing second behind Genk but ahead of Besiktas and Sarpsborg before being knocked out by Chelsea. R\u00f6sler is very committed, and sometimes pushes the team and the players very hard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The club\u2019s supporters:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe fans are very passionate \u2013 the north stand called Norra sings for 90 minutes every game and against Bnei Yehuda the Stadium will probably be at full capacity of 20,000 spectators. At big european games the atmosphere is crazy. <\/p>\n<p>Ari H\u00fctter, was the Red Bull Salzburg Coach when Malm\u00f6 knocked them out of the 2014 Champions League playoffs and called the Stadium \u201dein Hexenkessel\u201d  which has since become the Stadium\u2019s nickname. Big teams \u2013 Salzburg, Celtic, Shakhtar Donetsk, Olympiacos \u2013 have come to Malm\u00f6 over the last five years and lost. Since 2014 Malm\u00f6 has played 14 qualification games at home and has never suffered a defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bnei Yehuda visits Malmo in Sweden for a first leg Playoff Round Europa League qualifier on Thursday night.
