Career
Successes in Sweden and first experience abroad
Hysén started his career in 1978 at IFK Göteborg . Under the direction of coach Sven-Göran Eriksson , he became a regular in the defense and was appointed to the Swedish national team for the first time in 1981 . In the 1: 2 home defeat against the Danish national team on May 15 of that year, he put on the national jersey for the first time. The following year he experienced another career highlight, when the man and his team triumphed in the final games of the 1981/82 UEFA Cup against the favorite Hamburger SV . In the same year he was also champion in the Allsvenskan . This made him known beyond the national borders and the Dutch top club PSV Eindhoven piloted him into the honor division in 1983 . In the same year he received the Guldbollen for the first time as Sweden's football player of the year.
After two years in the Netherlands, Hysén returned to Sweden to IFK Göteborg. Coach Gunder Bengtsson , Eriksson's assistant in 1982, led the club in the 1985/86 European Cup to the semi-finals, where the team was only eliminated on penalties against FC Barcelona . A year later, Hysén won the UEFA Cup a second time in his career. In the finals of the 1986/87 UEFA Cup , the team around team captain Hysén prevailed against the Scottish representative Dundee United .
In Italy and England
Hysén followed then a renewed call from abroad and signed a contract with Fiorentina in Serie A . In 1988 he inherited his former teammate Stig Fredriksson as captain of the Swedish national team and in the same year was Sweden's football player of the year for the second time. In qualifying for the 1990 World Cup , the Swedish selection met England . With an outstanding performance in the game at Wembley Stadium , which ended in a 0-0 draw, he aroused the interest of English clubs and moved to Liverpool in the summer of 1989 .
Shortly after arriving in England, Hysén celebrated his first title win on the island when the team triumphed 1-0 over Arsenal in the Community Shield with a goal from Peter Beardsley . At the end of the season, in which he formed the core of the defense with Alan Hansen and his injury substitute Gary Ablett , he became English national champions with the club. At the subsequent world championship tournament, Hysén was disappointed as captain when his team had to return home after three games without winning a point. He then resigned from the national team after 68 international matches. Although it was possible to defend the title in the Community Shield, which was shared after a 1-1 draw with Manchester United , after the tournament, Hysén began a creeping downward trend and Graeme Souness sorted out the defender, so that In 1992 the clubs and players parted ways.
End of career in Sweden
Hysén returned to Sweden in 1992 and signed a contract with GAIS . With the club he rose from the Allsvenskan at the end of the 1992 season and ended his professional career in 1994. He then let his career end at the lower-class Skogens IF .
After football
After the end of his career, Hysén became a football expert at the Swedish media group Viasat and appeared in this role at various television stations in the group. After briefly working as an assistant coach at Torslanda IK , he took over the position of coach at FC Z , the Swedish version of FC Nerds , in 2005 . In 2006 the show was awarded the crystals as the best reality TV format. In the same year he took part with Linda Bengtzing in the program Rampfeber on TV 4 , in which Swedish celebrities had to sing in a duet with singers. The two reached the final with their interpretation of Ring Ring by ABBA or Som stormen river öppet hav by Susanne Alfvengren and Mikael Rickfors , which Tina Thörner and Andrés Esteche won. In 2007, Hysén was the inaugural speaker at Stockholm Pride . He asked the question, "How easy is it for a 16-year-old homosexual to open up to his teammates as homosexual?" After his youngest son Anton came out as a homosexual soccer player in the media in March 2011 , it turned out that Glenn Hysén was talking about his own son in 2007.
