Yasin Ayari in The Athletic:
“Loans have a bad reputation in Sweden,” Ayari says. “It’s like you are not good enough. So, when I went on loan, I already had in my mind that I needed to prove everyone wrong.
“It’s a good mindset to have, but also you need to be grounded, to stay focused and do your thing. I think I went into the loan in a bad way mentally, thinking I’m in the Premier League, coming to the Championship.
“I didn’t know how demanding it was, even more demanding sometimes than the Premier League. In the beginning, it was OK at Coventry, but towards the middle of that period, I didn’t touch the pitch.
“Even though I didn’t play (much), I felt so sad, because I loved the boys, I loved the environment. I was so happy getting to know the people, getting this experience to not have a good loan spell, to learn a lot about the Championship, how physical, how demanding it is, playing every week so many games.
“I needed to switch because I needed to play. It doesn’t matter how comfortable you are in the team. If you don’t play, it doesn’t make sense.”
