Direct all thoughts to Norway
Magdalena Erickson And her partner, Denmark national team striker Pernil Harder, are strong voices when it comes to LGBT issues, and Eriksson is notably affected by what happened in our neighboring country.
– Terrible. Wherever it happens in the world. It’s absolutely terrible no matter where. It shows the way we still have to go. It’s an attack on the LGBTQ movement in general, says Ericsson in the Sportbladet podcast to be released on Monday.
The star player continues:
– It just feels so sad and makes me so sad. I want to direct all my thoughts to those affected in Norway.

When the Norwegian women’s team defeated New Zealand 2-0 in front of a record crowd in Ullevål on Saturday night, they demonstrated the right of everyone to love whoever they want.
Banners with the message “Where you are, love who you want” hang in the stands and the arena is dotted with rainbow elements. Ada Hegerberg celebrated her goal by flying a rainbow tie into the sky.
Magdalena Ericsson is no stranger to the fact that Sweden could also appear in the rematch against Brazil at Friends Arena on Tuesday.
– I like demonstrations and I think it is important that you show your position clearly.
During Sunday’s press conference, Magdalena Eriksson developed about feelings after the act in Oslo.
I was badly hurt and emotionally affected. I think it’s very shocking that this kind of thing still happens and victims suffer. It’s going to be a great folk festival and that’s what happens… How the audience joined and what showed love gives me hope.
– It is important to show that such events should not frighten us and make us retreat.
