Cordoba / Stockholm. Zira Mosovic, 26, saved Sverjee from a massive failure in the Spaniard’s Petons game.
After that, his teammates praised the goalkeeper
It’s fun to see her, especially now that she’s had the chance. Kosovari Aslani says her future is great.
Sweden were “only” 1-1 in their international training match away to Spain, but Blagolt can thank Zekera Mosovic for not being a stinging loss.
She started out a little shaky with some high balls that Mosovic had problems with in the first half, but in the second she went up to the front and lined up one by one.
– He sweated a little in there for a while, to say the least. She herself says it’s so good to be able to salvage some things when you’re standing up.
Praised by his teammates
The Chelsea goalkeeper has had a hard time getting time to play for both club and national team, but the one who knows what Mosovic will do is teammate Magdalena Eriksson.
– She really should have stepped forward today. We conceded many scoring chances, but we were fortunate that they saved us. I think it’s a fantastically stable game with a lot of important saves. That’s the good thing about really good goalkeepers – if we as defenders don’t do it right, she comes and saves him.
Team leader Kosovari Aslani is not slow to join the chorus of praise.
I think it’s an unbelievably great game. She made the saves very well. It’s fun to watch, especially after she’s had the chance. She has a great future, she says and continues:
We have an incredible number of skilled goalkeepers, but I definitely think Zesse took his chance today.
You can play against France
Mosovich herself jokes that it has been so long since she was the last in the national team that there is almost a question as to whether this cannot be classified as a debut.
The truth is that this 26-year-old has been 1.5 years since she was in Blagault and hasn’t played two games in a row. Now there is a chance when Sweden meet France at Gamla Ullevi on Tuesday and the main rival for goalkeeper position, Jennifer Falk, is missing from this group.
But despite the impressive effort, national team captain Peter Gerhardsson doesn’t want to say much.
– we will see. We haven’t decided that yet. We’ll have to watch and talk, then we’ll see. But he says good efforts are always an advantage, of course.
