It was a good year. It was nice to come in and win gold, and be a part of it. I came from not having played so I think there was a lot of good to learn and good experiences.
He had six starts and six substitute appearances in Allsvenskan, contributing two assists when Mjällby won the championship. Sporting director Hasse Larsson thinks Kjaer has taken several steps during the preseason and that he can become a top player for Mjällby. Kjaer responded, 'That is his opinion.
' Reflecting on his first year, Kjaer said, 'It was a good year. ' Looking ahead, Kjaer stated, 'I hope to be able to become more dominant. ' The identity of the goal scorer for IFK Värnamo remains unknown.
I of course wanted to contribute more but I came as I said from not having played - where no one really believed in me in Bodø - to someone believing in me. An adjustment year.
I hope to be able to become more dominant. I set high demands on myself so I hope I can help the team even more.
