The Brikama-born forward spoke about his impressive goalscoring season, the upcoming playoff against Norrby IF and his experience playing in Sweden.
Alkamba Times: You have scored nine goals in 23 appearances, alongside six assists. How important was it for you to improve your numbers this season?
Momodou Bojang: My goalscoring has improved this season. Our job as strikers is to score goals. I was really prepared this season. Even after training, I would stay behind to practise my shooting. I worked specifically on improving my goalscoring, and I have put in a lot of effort to achieve these numbers.
I am no longer young, so I have to make sure I work hard. Goals must come because that is what counts at the end of the season. Even in the playoffs, I will do my best to score.
Alkamba Times: You became the talk of the town following your 88th-minute winning goal, which secured Lund BK’s playoff place. What was the feeling like, and how did the team manage to achieve this objective?
Momodou Bojang: I felt so happy and emotional when the goal went in. Reaching the playoffs was always part of our plans. We kept pushing until we got the opportunity to close the gap on Ängelholm.
We were trailing by seven points, but as we started recording impressive wins, they were dropping points through draws. We remained focused on securing second place. That became our motivation and gave us the momentum we needed. In our last three games, we told ourselves, “Let’s win at least two of them,” and we eventually achieved that.
The fans and people close to the club believe this team is better than the 2024 side. It is regarded as one of the best teams Lund has assembled or represented. The supporters are happy with the team’s performances this season.
Alkamba Times: How are you preparing for the playoff against Norrby IF?
Momodou Bojang: I am preparing and looking forward to the playoffs. My focus is on winning by all means. This is a big opportunity for me, and getting promoted to the Superettan would be a great addition to my CV.
Alkamba Times: You have played in Scotland, Portugal and Norway, among other countries. How has your experience in Sweden, particularly at Lund BK, been?
Momodou Bojang: Lund BK is the best team I have played for. They have supported me immensely and given me a platform, playing time, respect and love. I couldn’t get that at some of my previous clubs.
The president is awesome. When he signed me, he asked me to help the club secure promotion to the Superettan, and here we are now.
Life is amazing here in Lund. I am happy, and I don’t feel any pressure. I receive all sorts of motivation here. I am one of the fans’ favourite players, and they are happy with me. It is really good to be here.
