Carlstrand was straight about it: "Väldigt kul att bli utsedd till Månadens Spelare. Det är ett fint kvitto på att man gör bra saker, men det hade såklart inte varit möjligt utan laget och alla tränare runt omkring" (4). Both donated 10,000 kronor each to the Svartgula Fonden (7).
Ali wants to stay
Abdihakim Ali is out of contract and not panicking. Four straight starts, and the midfielder said it plainly: "Jag vill alltid vara i AIK. Jag har varit i AIK sedan jag var ett barn. Sedan får vi se vad det blir. Man vet inte alltid vad som är bäst för en" (1) (9). He lines up against Västerås SK on Saturday (1).

Chile's ambassador Rodrigo Olsen Olivares welcomed him in Stockholm ahead of the Strawberry Arena match: "¡Bienvenido a Suecia, Lucas Assadi!" (8) (10).
