Udinese captain Jesper Carlström was a guest on the "Udinese Tonight" program, where he talked about the match against Cremona Football Club, the current situation of the team and the responsibilities he shoulders as captain.  

Jesper Kallström first evaluated the team's recent performance: "We know we still have room for improvement and have high expectations for the team. However, I think the team's performance is generally good, and the gap in the standings is quite limited. In any case, our goal is to win more points and win more games."  

“We are well aware of our ability to play at a high level and we have shown great potential. We are a cohesive team with many players who are willing to work hard and have a good relationship with each other. We have every confidence in the coach’s tactical philosophy.”  

"In this game, we gave our opponents too many easy scoring opportunities and conceded a goal right at the start. Although we have the ability to equalize, winning becomes much more difficult once we fall behind. Against Sassuolo and Cagliari, we started well but still fell behind. Similarly, against Cremonese, we started poorly and conceded a goal early on."  

"Conceding a goal from a set piece is something that can happen during a game. First of all, I should defend well, and this situation can indeed happen, but I could have been calmer and more patient. After entering my second season, I am more familiar with the league and know that I can play better, but I also understand that there is room for improvement. I look forward to improving in all aspects and have set higher standards for myself this year. I also hope to score more goals."  

As the newly appointed captain this summer, Jesper Kallström expressed his pride and sense of responsibility for the role. He said, "It's a tremendous honor to be captain of such an important league in a football powerhouse like Italy. This position carries with it a lot of responsibility, and I'll do my best to give it my all while remaining true to myself. The biggest change will be off the pitch. I'll need to be more vocal in the locker room and take on more responsibility. Of course, I've always been a communicative person on the pitch. This is a huge responsibility, and I hope to be an excellent captain."  

"I feel very happy and proud. Even if my technical performance wasn't satisfactory, I always kept running hard and fighting. This spirit and dedication is something everyone should uphold. A good attitude and dedication are indispensable. I don't like hypocritical people. If I want to express a strong opinion, I hope it is genuine, not a deliberate show."  

"I used to be a bit impulsive on the pitch, although I was relatively quiet off it. But once I was on the pitch, things were different. I used to get yellow cards a lot, but as I got older, I learned to control my emotions better, but I still lose control occasionally."  

"I don't care who I play with. We all have a strong midfield, and I have a rapport with every one of my teammates. A certain amount of competition is beneficial, and I believe frequent changes in the starting lineup have a limited impact on the game. Our midfield is of high quality overall, so whether we use a four- or five-man midfield formation isn't the key; what matters is the execution of the tactical principles. As long as the tactics are clear, the difference in formation doesn't matter much. Of course, there are differences between the two formations, but the core lies in the principles."  

Speaking of the Swedish national team, Jesper Carlström said: "We have a very good team. I think this is the strongest generation in Swedish history. Despite the poor performance in the qualifiers, especially the unsatisfactory process of the game, we still have a chance to advance through the play-offs. Now with the leadership of the new head coach, I hope the team can perform better. It is always an honor to play for the Swedish national team and play in front of my family and friends. Reaching the World Cup is the dream of all our players."  

"We sincerely thank the fans for their support in every game. It is an honor for us to play in front of you. We really need your support and we will give our all to fight for the three points in Saturday's game."
