elmander için savaş çıktı galatasaray, sakat olmasına rağmen euro 2012'de oynatılmak istenilen johan elmander için isveçli yetkililerle soğuk savaşa girdi.
isveç teknik direktörü erik hamren'in forvet oyuncusu johan elmander'i euro 2012'de kadroya almasından dolayı galatasaray'dan ciddi tepki gördü.
aftonbladet'in haberine göre, isveç teknik heyetinin çok yanlış bir karar aldığını söyleyen galatasaray idari menajeri cenk ergün, "elmander, 12 mayıs'ta oynanılan fenerbahçe maçında sakatlandı. sağ ayağında çatlak var. sağlık heyetimiz en az 6 hafta dinlenmesi gerektiğini söyledi. henüz 4 hafta geçmesine rağmen milli takımında kadroya alındı. hatta ilk maçlarda görev bile alabilecekmiş." dedi.
her gün isveçli yetkililerle görüştüklerinin altını çizen ergün, "elmander'in sakatlık durumuyla ilgili sürekli bilgi alıyoruz. şu an iyileştiğini biliyoruz ama geri dönüş için yeterli bir dinlenme periyodu geçirmedi. onların yerinde biz olsaydık ve ligin en önemli maçlarına çıkacak olsaydık, kesinlikle elmander'i riske etmezdik. şu an oynatmak ya da oynatmamak onların kararı ama biz kesinlikle oynamasını istemiyoruz." şeklinde konuştu.
ergün'ün açıklamalarına cevap veren isveç takım doktoru leif sward ise "galatasaray olaya duygusal açıdan bakıyor. böyle durumlarda nereden bakarsanız öyle görürsünüz." ifadelerini kullandı.

andriy shevchenko called on his old predatory powers as he struck twice to earn the co-hosts a come-from-behind win on a famous night for ukraine.
ukraine made a dream start to uefa euro 2012 as a quickfire double from their captain, andriy shevchenko, earned a famous comeback victory against sweden.
the co-hosts had had marginally the better of the first half to the audible delight of the majority of the crowd in kyiv, only to fall behind to zlatan ibrahimović's close-range finish in the 52nd minute. as in the day's early group d game between england and france, the lead proved short-lived as shevchenko scored their first uefa european championship finals goal with a powerful header. the same player, for so long his country's talisman, then put them in front in the 62nd minute and urged on by a passionate crowd, ukraine preserved that advantage to mark their tournament debut in memorable fashion.
ukraine coach oleh blokhin had emphasised the youth of his squad on the eve of the match, yet his starting lineup belied that. only two players – yevhen selin and yevhen konoplyanka – were making their competitive debuts, and that experience proved invaluable as the co-hosts settled quickly amid a raucous atmosphere. sweden are no novices either, however, and were first to threaten as andriy pyatov punched away ibrahimović's curling left-wing cross.
the home side's first chance of note came on the counterattack as ukraine broke swiftly to give themselves an extra man on the retreating swedish rearguard. shevchenko exchanged passes with andriy yarmolenko, whose return left the ukraine captain with only andreas isaksson to beat, but the angle proving too much for shevchenko who pulled his effort across the face of goal.
not for nothing did sweden manage 31 goals in their ten qualifying fixtures, and they were soon pressing again as markus rosenberg – preferred to johan elmander up front – latched on to ola toivonen's header to draw a save down low from pyatov. the goalkeeper was left stranded six minutes by half-time, sebastian larsson's pinpoint cross being met by the head of ibrahimović, but the ball clipped the outside of the goalkeeper's left-hand post and ukraine survived.
they were not so fortunate seven minutes into the second period. kim källström retrieved larsson's deep right-wing cross and his low ball back across goal presented ibrahimović with a simple prodded finish. for the first time the stadium fell silent, yet within three minutes the noise was louder than ever as ukraine hit back. yarmolenko was the architect, cutting on to his left foot to deliver a fine cross from the right, and shevchenko thundered in to thump a header past isaksson.
if the decibel level had increased with that, seven minutes later it reached deafening proportions as konoplyanka swung in a corner from the left and another shevchenko header beat isaksson at his near post. again ibrahimović – who had lost shevchenko for the second goal – led the sweden charge, pyatov beating away his fierce shot but when first elmander then olof mellberg both sent shots too high, sweden's final chance had gone. ukraine will go into their next game, against france in donetsk on friday, as group d's early leaders; sweden will hope to give their sizeable support more to cheer back here against england.
