Sheffield / Stockholm. Sweden are the favorites for the tournament for the first time.
This made players fearful, says SVT expert Daniel Nanskoog.
We were not afraid, Magdalena Erickson answers.
Sweden played 1-1 with the Netherlands in the European Championship premiere.
After that, many Swedish players insisted that they did not reach their highest level.
– We can definitely go higher, for example the scorer says Jonah Anderson.
Nanskog: ‘There was fear’
SVT Expert Daniel Nansky He’s down the same path – and he thinks he knows why.
Of course, it was the nerves’ turn. This is the first time this is their favorite and it is not easy to handle. We saw that today. There was fear among the Swedish players. I lacked determination and might have been a bit impressed with the seriousness of the moment, he says.
When Jonah Anderson heard the statement, she said:
Difficult to answer. He should be responsible for that. Personally, I don’t feel intimidated, she says.
The answer: “It’s easy to forget…”
Magdalena Erickson Laugh before you respond to Nannskog’s theory.
– No, I can’t really say that we were afraid and nervous. We have to remember that we are facing a good team. It’s easy to forget that when it snows, says Erickson, how awesome we are, and continues:
– But of course, the first match is always the first match. It’s the same for the Netherlands. They were also a bit shaky at times. With that said, we can raise our bets, but I don’t think it has anything to do with nerves.
