Losing a point against Slovenia means Sweden will be relegated and play against more blueberry nations in the next Nations League.
– Faroe Islands? You don’t want to stop there, says Victor Clisson.
Sweden must beat Slovenia at home at Friends Arena on Tuesday night to avoid the last place in the group in the Nations League second division.
A jumbo place would mean relegation to Class C in favor of Blågult.
Sweden can then face national teams from Luxembourg, Faroe Islands, Kosovo, Azerbaijan, Slovakia, North Macedonia or Bulgaria in the next Nations League tournament, which will be played in 2024-2025.
You don’t want to think about it
Can you see yourself and Sweden playing in Section C considering the national teams that are there?
– I have no thoughts about Section C. I want to go out and win against Slovenia and shouldn’t think about that anymore, he says Emil Forsberg surely.
But do you know which national teams are there?
– I know exactly who there is, said the Leipzig midfielder with a shrug and continued:
We have the knife to our throats and we must go out and win in a way that shows that we are willing to do everything to win. There is little that is finally understood.
Victor Cleeson Too bad with the conditions for the Tuesday night thriller in Friends, where nearly 21,500 tickets were sold.
We have to win to stay in the second division. If we don’t win, we don’t deserve to stay. There are clear conditions.
There is no resistance in a dream
– If we don’t, we’re in Section C. The FCK player says it’s just a matter of tackling it and working from there.
Have you checked out the national teams that are in Section C?
– I saw that the Faroe Islands were there. We’re kidding about it, you don’t want to stop there. We were in the First Division…Things can go fast in the Nations League, says Cleeson.
No matter which way it goes against Slovenia, Sweden will not move up or down the standings to affect the rankings before the upcoming EC qualifying draw, October 9.
There Blagult ends up in the third set of seeds for the first time in a long time.
