When star star Kosovari Aslani was forced to withdraw the show, Matilda Feinberg, 19, called.
It was Peter Gerhardsson who wondered if Hammarby’s talent wanted to come with him to Australia.
– He just doesn’t call now and then, so I thought I’d get the question now, but I’m still pretty shocked.
On Saturday, she played away against Vicho in the final round of the Women’s League. sunday sitting Matilda Feinberg Along with, among others, his teammates Madeleine Januji and Jonah Anderson are on the plane that will take them to Australia for the last national team meeting of the year.
– Peter called me on Monday morning and I was of course very happy and shocked to receive such a letter so close to the meeting, it says and continues:
– I, of course, say yes. He asked me if I wanted to come with him to Australia and I said of course I would.
The reason for Gerhardsson’s call was that Kosovare Asllani was forced to withdraw his offer due to injury issues.
– It’s not a small name. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to show myself in the first national team. So sad because Aslani can’t go. She has a very important role in the national team, so I hope I don’t have high expectations of myself, haha. But it will be fun and exciting, says the 19-year-old.
In 2020, Vinberg played in Enskede and Band 1. She is now recognized in Hammarby’s 11th start and on Thursday was nominated as one of three nominees for “Breakthrough of the Year” at the Obos Damallsvenskans Best Gala.
In September, BK Haken’s Matilda Finberg and Hana Weik trained with the national team for a few days in Visby, but this time the Hammarby player got a real chance.
– It will be a completely different feeling this time. Now it’s a game we have to prepare for. That I now have the opportunity again and maybe get my first appearance this time is special.
“Are you going to Australia?”
When Feinberg was last selected, she was sitting in a restaurant with her mother and they both started crying. This time it took a while before the 19-year-old shared the news.
– It’s so much fun. My mum worked at night until she was asleep when Peter called me, so I didn’t go and wake her up but waited until after my training and then got a text. There she wrote: “Are you going to Australia?” And I’m just “I’ll tell you more when I get home”.
– So when I got home she met me on the stairs and hugged me tight and I was touched by that. It’s hard to know how big your call-up is for the first national team. It is one of the biggest dreams of a football player.
