Adil Aouchiche thinks that Aberdeen’s acquisition of new hero Jesper Karlsson demonstrates their ambition. On loan from Bologna, the Swedish international arrived on deadline night and has since become a Pittodrie mainstay.
With three goals in his past two games, Karlsson was a driving force behind their 4-0 thumping of Dundee on Sunday, which was their first Premiership victory of the year.
Two years ago, the winger, who had previously worked with Jimmy Thelin at Elfsborg, moved from AZ Alkmaar to Bologna for about £9 million. Aouchiche said, “Jesper is a really good player.” “He consistently displays his talent during training sessions, and on Sunday, he performed admirably on the pitch.
“He scored a good penalty and had a really nice second one.” He was worthy of his two goals. “Having Jesper here makes us all very happy because we all want to be the best players we can be.” He is a huge addition for us, so the club demonstrated ambition in getting him here.
Karlsson taking on responsibility
The last time Aberdeen scored in the Premiership was in the season-ending 2-1 loss to Dundee United. Even though the Dons are still at the bottom of the Premiership, their first league victory of the season was sparked by the on-loan winger’s goal.
Despite being surrounded by three defenders in the box, Karlsson scored a fantastic goal to put Dundee ahead 4-0. Before launching a 12-yard drive into the far top corner, he created space with his amazing footwork and body movement.
“I’m so happy for Jesper,” Thelin remarked. But it’s also a team game, and it’s about how we relate to one another and the relationships on the pitch.
“We gave it our all in the final 20 minutes to win the Motherwell game, so it was a step in the right direction,” he remarked. Despite the fact that we were severely punished in that game, the team and staff have remained composed.
“Shakhtar was a positive step as well.” Then everything was linked against Dundee. “I am pleased with the performance and the relationship within the team.
