AaB continues the victory course

With the fourth victory in a row AaB maintained one's lead on nine points down to FC Central Jutland's second place. One at the same time stupid and hard expulsion to AGF's Dioh Williams was greatly contributory to that AaB could turn 0-1 to 3-1 in other half.

Aab played AGF at home. Went down 0-1 in the first half where Aab didn't play well. Then AGF got a red card and didn't have a chance in the second half where Aab played amazing. Lasse made an assist to the 1-1 goal. The match ended in 3-1.

AaB continues collecting points

With a well deserved 1-0 victory in the Viborg Stadion AaB continues the impressive point harvest, which has given 54 points in the latest 22 fights.  A well playing Andreas Johansson became a match winner, but also Kenneth Stenild had his large share in the profit, when a good fighting Viborg-crew in the final phase was close to equalization.

Nilsson: Points rather than goal

For AaB's Swedish attacker Lars Nilsson it's first of all about success for the team. Many goals and an audience-friendly play must follow. Lars "Lasse"Nilsson is very satisfied with the point profit of the first five SAS Ligakampes, since he joined in AaB. Victories in the four latest games and undecided at the opening night against OB is according to him absolutely satisfaction.

The game against FC Nordsjælland wasn't the best the team has played, but he thinks that's not so important.

"We haven't scored many goals in the games till now, but we havedid well by points, and that's the most important thing. When we reach over in the month of May, and the medals are to be divided between the best teams, there is anyhow nobody, who focuses on whether, we were playing badly in a game in April. By then one looks only at whether we scored three points" Lars Nilsson says..

"But of course, the best will be that we both get victories and are playing well", the attacker adds.

Lars Nilsson still expects a difficult fight with lots of hard duels, when AaB visits SAS Arena to the showdown against FC Central Jutland on Sunday. "It'll be a difficult fight. They are strong, and we have to be lucid on all positions, if we have to be let off from them by points", the Swede estimates. "Each fight there are three points to play about, and as long as we fetch victories, we hold the distance for the teams, who chase us, thus that is what we check of course, and three points against FC Central Jutland would be fantastic"

AaB open up gap

AaB opened up a three-point gap at the top of the Danish SAS-Ligaen on with a come-from-behind win at AC Horsens. Gilberto Macena put the hosts ahead after 25 minutes and it was a lead which lasted almost until the hour mark.

But Kasper Risgaard equalised after 58 minutes and Lasse Nilsson completed the turnaround seven minutes later.

It proved to be a big win for AaB, as FC Copenhagen, with whom they were level on points at start of play, lost 2-1 at Esbjerg.

Lasse Nilsson causes new playing style
 

With the acquisition of Lars Nilsson AaB did not only got themselves a new class attacker, but the team also got a new and more attractive playing style with less long balls.
Long balls up to Prica were to a high degree AaB's recipe for success last autumn. Now header-strong Pricas is gone and the replacement Lars Nilsson is a completely different player type. Therefore AaB has been obliged to rearrange the playing style.

That was showed clearly at Wednesday's 2-1 victory out at Horsens. Gone were the long balls, and instead AaB played the ball over the field in the feet of the technically strong Lars Nilsson. -
He is hugely dangerous. Technically strong and very quick. The opponents' defender can slow down a bit or lose attention.

"Lars Nilsson is a completely different type than Prica, which makes that we have to play ia different style of football" AaB's assistant coach Allan Kuhn said after the victory on Horsens.
Allan Kuhn also promised that Nilsson still hasn't even showed his best yet. "He's a very good player and we haven't seen the best Lasse Nilsson yet. He showed it at some moments tonight, but there is a lot more he can do", Allan Kuhn said about the north-Jutlanders' new Swedish trump card.

Lars Nilsson holds on to AaB's gold dreams

AaB can still dream about gold after  Rade Prica has left.

The substitute Lars Nilsson showed glimpses of great class on Wednesday evening and secured one 2-1 victory on Horsens. If Flemming Østergaard and company in FC Copenhagen felt that the gold came more closely, when AaB sold Rade Prica in the winter break, they were maybe too early.

Prica's replacement Lasse Nilsson showed his joy of playing and self-confidence on Wednesday evening, when AaB fetched a 2-1-victory over Horsens.

The Swedish didn't want to hear about him being the match winner, when he calmly passed Horsens keeper Søren Jochumsen and scored the winning goal.

AaB was strong from the start, and the visiting team failed to score with open chances in Horsens' goal area. Missed chances prevented AaB from taking themselves early ahead.

An incredible 25 minutes were gone in, before Horsens visited AaB's goal area. But when it finally happened, Gilberto Macena managed to take Horsens ahead very luckily, 1-0. But  the North-Jutlanders fought themselves back in the fight. The Horsens-players had to use more aggressive actions after they had scored their first goal.

First Kasper Risgaard equalized shortly after the break, before the day's best AaB-player Lars Nilsson scored 1-2, before he had to leave the field, slightly injuredly aboutl ten minutes before the end of the match.

Lårs Nilsson: I should have scored one more goal!

AaB's new attacker Lars Nilsson was on the spot in the début out against OB, but was not completely satisfied with one's own performance.
The Swedish attacker scored 1-1 with 17 minutes left on the clock.  But he said He should have scored one more goal so they should have won the matc'.

"I am not completely satisfied with my own performance. I should have scored one more goal in the other half, when I got a good ball from Nomvethe and managed to tame it well down with the chest, but unfortunately I wasn't sharp enough, when I had to finish it" Lars Nilsson said after the match to bt.dk.

In spite of the annoyance over the missed goal, the Swedish had all the reasons to be happy about having got active on Danish grass. "I knew well, it'd be difficult here in Odense, but it was good to get active and play my first match. It was not a great match, but it was good to get active, and then I hope, I am a little sharper at Wednesday against Horsens.
