Risk. Three straight wins for Blagult and Janne Andersson.
However, the joy was clouded by some fear of injury.
– I’m tired of it, says the captain of the national team.
In fact, he wanted to embrace joy. The Swedes had just sacked Finland 2-0 after a solid and confidence-inspiring performance under the circumstances.
– I am very happy with this effort. The national team captain who was satisfied with the tactically coaching effort of many of the newcomers said the players adopted what we did in training.
“I haven’t heard how bad it is.”
Experienced in this context, the three team fathers Samuel Gustafsson, Hjalmar Ekdal and Christopher Niemann received further praise.
– Hjalmar, Samuel and “Totte” ensure that there is some order there. They handle this responsibility very well.
In the mixed zone, reference was made to the fact that Ludwig Augustinsson had recently suffered an injury in a poor Aston Villa performance against Stevenage in the FA Cup. Then Anderson grew darker in his mind. The national team captain was visibly worried.
– Yes, I saw it. I’m just crossing my fingers that it will be good. I hope, I hope, I hope it’s not too serious. I haven’t heard anything about how bad it is with Ludde. But I already know that Emil Krafth will be gone and Filip Helander won’t be back for (the group) in March.
“No more things can happen now.”
Anderson is tired of all the injury scares in the national team and doesn’t want to try one more in 2022, when he’s been extraordinarily impressed with Lagault.
– It’s really weak with two players in the back. Other things can’t happen now, because I’m so sick of it. But it’s a long way to go until March, just over 2 months, so I hope everything works out.
Do you have unpleasant memories from the past year?
– Yeah a bit like that. It was a very busy year. chaotic. But now we have three wins in a row. After all, we finished well in 2022 (beating Mexico and Algeria) and we won now, but I really hope it won’t be like last year.
