Sheffield. The European Championship premiere is in full swing, but something isn’t right about the Swedish midfield.
Take a look at Filippa Angeldahl’s back and you’ll see that something is missing.
“Maybe I put a little penis in every now and then but they put it on me,” says the 24-year-old.
Since the breakthrough in the Olympic Games last summer Philippa Engeldahl He became a certain cog in the Swedish midfield, but there were divided opinions on how the player should properly spell his last name.
Engeldahl is clearly written on the back of the national team jersey, but if you ask her yourself, she has the nickname Hello.
The national team has its own T-shirt printing machine, thus it can print a new T-shirt. But this will not happen in this case.
There is an explanation as to why the name was misspelled.
– We’ve gone to the spelling in the passport. It comes down to the fact that when UEFA checks the shirts, they check the passport. I know. Magnus Anderson, the national team coordinator, says she’s with me all the time, but it’s a simple answer.
“Maybe I put a little penis on now and then but they put it on me and maybe that’s the case,” Engeldahl says.
“He was a little lazy”
But the truth is that the national team could have changed if they had wanted to. Perhaps there were no serious consequences.
– If you want to be tough, that’s the passport that applies and we’re usually Swedes, follow every rule out there, says Anderson and continues:
– We probably won’t be disqualified if there’s a wrong letter on the shirt’s name, but if there’s a rule that says so, I’ll follow.
When it comes time to fix a new passport, Angeldahl must make sure to add the letter h everything to get the shirt spelled correctly.
– I want to include H so I can fix it. it’s up to me. I was a bit lazy and didn’t fix it, says the 24-year-old.
