A few weeks ago, EoS first reported the final winter window destination of former New York Red Bulls coach Hans Backe. The Swedish boss, who was passed over by his former club Östers IF for their head coaching position this winter, has taken a soccer analysts role once more with Swedish television outlet TV4.
You may not understand what he is saying (unless you speak a little Swede) but here he is on the big screen analyzing some Europa League action.
(PS: Though I know it’s in a different language, I am pretty sure what he says at the :04 mark may have been his message to Red Bull management at the end of the season.)




@EmpireOfSoccer på ett sätt.
He did not actually say that, did he? @EmpireOfSoccer Hans Backe’s new role as soccer analyst on Swedish TV: http://t.co/22BbiE47

@EmpireOfSoccer OK. That was some hilarious stuff. You have to snip that out and use it as a drop on @SeeingRedNY. LOL.
00ooohh fuck this job
Anyone know if he says “in a way” in Swedish?
I hear he stays the whole 90 minutes of the show no matter what.
Lol, you just killed me with “I am pretty sure what he says at the :04 mark may have been his message to Red Bull management at the end of the season.” I may have to ask some Swedish friends what that means in Swedish… but just imagine it has an innocent meaning and people could use it and say, “Hey, it’s nothing personal, it’s just a phrase in my native language!”
@EmpireOfSoccer holy shit, nearly died at his first words a few seconds in… that’s gold right there
@EmpireOfSoccer ohh fuck this job lol
ICYMIC: WATCH: Hans Backe’s new role as soccer analyst on Swedish TV http://t.co/BoCdBGdb #RBNY (with some unintentional hilarity :04 in)
Are ther any Swedish speakers who can translate if there are any remarks regarding his time in New York?
What Hans Backe says at the :04-mark is equivalent to “Yes, that is so”. They are talking about the former Manchester City player Michael Johnsons struggles. Nothing Red Bull is mentioned in this clip.
[...] Soler’s jump to the big screen follows a similar move by former colleague Hans Backe, who has found a home analyzing soccer on Swedish outlet TV4. [...]
