Posted: Less than 10 minutes ago

With Linda Sembrandt returning after a cruciate ligament injury, the competition for midfield positions in the Swedish European Championship team increases.

– If you’re a bit cocky, these are probably some of the top four European Championship midfielders we have on our squad, says Magdalena Eriksson.

Peter Gerhardsson is secretive about the Swede starting eleven in the genre rope against Brazil.

– I have an idea, says the league captain in a press conference the day before the match.

Everyone participated and everyone is heading in the right direction. Then we’ll see. If it had been the European Championship final, everyone could have played, but now it’s like it’s not. And then I have to be wise in how to get the players out and charge them.

Among those question marks was midfielder Linda Sembrandt, who twisted his leg during the camp in Bastad. Although she has increased her training and been able to participate in the team group more and more in recent days, it is unclear if she can play.

However, in the center of the defense, there is an intense competitive situation. During the Olympics I got Amanda EllstedtAnd Natalie Bjorn and Magdalena Erickson All the time playing.

– There are a lot of good midfielders, so it’s business as usual, I guess I’ll say. Almost all my years in the national team have passed. Lots of good quarterbacks, says Ilestedt, so the situation is really competitive.

We all want to play and do our best to get there, but we are not the ones who decide the team.

“Inspirational and challenging”

Supported by Chelsea captain Magdalena Ericsson, she is one of those who spent the most playing time under Peter Gerhardsson.

– If you’re a bit cocky, these are probably some of the top four European Championship midfielders we have on our squad. I think this is cool and wonderful. It’s also safe not to stand up and fall with a player. It’s inspiring and challenging and I feel like I’m far from straightforward. This means you want to show training all the time, says Erickson.

Sweden captain Peter Gerhardsson can choose to play with two or three midfielders. In recent years, he has chosen to play with three and four lines of defense.

What Magdalena Eriksson thinks is one of Sweden’s strengths.

– It makes us unpredictable and opponents have to prepare in two different ways to play and we can change in the middle of the match. It makes us more dynamic and more difficult to predict.

Reality

What information does national team captain Peter Gerhardsson want in the genre rope ahead of the European Championship?

What positions can you identify and which ones take advantage of against Brazil? Sportbladet experts Petra Thorén and Anna Rydén point to questions and possible solutions.

A goal keeper:
Hedvig Lindahl is said to be Peter Gerhardsson’s first choice in the European Championships. second. The veteran lacks playing time in the club’s squad and is likely to have been from the start against Brazil.

Defense:
During the time of Linda Sembrandt’s injury, Amanda Elistette has proven herself more and more in the back line. With the veteran Juventus player back in the squad, the competition intensifies. Our assessment is that Linda Sembrandt and Magdalena Ericsson form a central defender when Gerhardsson chooses a four-way line of defense. It remains to be seen if she will get a chance against Brazil as Sembrandt suffered a minor ankle injury during camp at Bastad.
The rivals here are Nathalie Björn and Emma Kullberg, as Björn appears to be the closest to Brazil and is learning to get time to play against Brazil. Emma Kullberg tested a little on the right under the national team’s publisher, but there Hanna Glas was represented in the starting lineup.
On the left, European Championship first-rounder Amanda Nelden challenges more experienced Jonah Anderson. Nelden is expected to play his time against Brazil.
Magdalena Eriksson is also an option on the left.

Midline.
When Caroline Seeger, Kosovar Aslani and Philippa Engeldahl are healthy, they play. No hesitation there.
The question among the alternatives is what is Ellen Robinson’s standing. The hurdler appears to be back in earnest with a muscle injury and drives hard at camp at Bastad.
He should be allowed to play against Brazil.

attacks:
Fridolina Rulfo and Stena Placstinhos have been awarded, but they will likely play frugally against Brazil. Opens to Lina Hurtig and Rebecka Blomqvist, she needs to match after she gets hit.
More open competition in the right striker position as Joanna Ritting Kanred impressed both in the Allsvenskan and during training with the European Championship team. A successful effort against Brazil could give her a place in Sweden’s eleventh premiere against the Netherlands on July 9.
Sophia Jacobson Peter Gerhardson knows what she stands for, and the shape is good for the flying San Diego forward.
