Sheffield. Her teammates praised her after the winning goal against Switzerland.
Hanna Benison now hopes to have boosted her chances of playing in the future.
Of course he does a lot for one’s self-confidence, says Bennison.
Caroline Seeger pulls her smiling face just once in mixed territory after her meeting with Switzerland.
That’s when the captain spoke about his former teammate Hanna Benison. The 19-year-old became a great hero by scoring his 2-1 goal, a first in the national team.
– It’s a goal we will remember – and we -. It’s incredibly fun and that’s what it does in training as well, so it wasn’t a one-time event, says Seger.
Johanna Rytting Kaneryd discovered the talent early on at Rosengård Club.
– There I saw in the game that she had something unusual. I think she proved it, says Rytting Kaneryd.
– Now she has the opportunity to show it even more. You shouldn’t count on her, she’s an incredibly good player.
“I hope you have boosted my chances”
Hannah Bennison hopes the target will make her dare to take more initiatives in the future.
– Of course she does a lot for self-confidence. Maybe you dare a little more, take a little conclusion and so on. I’ll drive my car and try to show it off all the time, says Benison.
What did you have time to think before the goal?
– I didn’t have time to think much. I got a pass from Rolfö there and saw a little gap and tried to put it there. It wasn’t a very difficult shot, so it took a while for the ball to get in. Then it was just pure happiness.
‘There was a lot of pressure’
The midfielder hopes that the work will provide more playing time in the future.
So it’s a lot more than just a goal deciding whether you can play or not. We’ll see, but I hope I boosted my chances, says Benison who is considered one of Europe’s greatest talents.
In the spring of 2021, soccer website Goal named her the world’s greatest talent. On very good, but a little hurt.
“There was a lot of pressure, especially when I got awards and so on,” says Hanna Benison.
– But then I think it’s fun in a way, it means that you did something good. So you still want that press.
