Home is on Ishaq Abdulrazak's mind
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; IFK Värnamo are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Hugo Keto knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at IFK Värnamo, and both men came out saying it was fine.
