Peter Gerhardsson on the veteran trio missing from the Sweden squad: ‘They have to blame themselves’

There are no Caroline Seeger, Nella Fischer or Hedvig Lindahl in the Sweden squad.

Then the captain of the national team sends a pass to the experienced trio.

They have to blame themselves, says Gerhardson.

Peter Gerhardson He named his team for the international games against Spain and France in October. Aside from the stunning Stina Lennartsson, it was a somewhat awaited lineup announced by the captain of the national team.

Presently, Blågult has to manage without any experienced namesakes. Nella Fischer ended her career with the national team, Caroline Seeger sustained long-term injuries and Hedwig Lindahl was left out of the latter two teams.

“Team captain types abound”

The question is how will this affect the Swedish national team?

– They have to blame themselves a little, I think, says Peter Gerhardson and continues:

– They were very good against other players, which means we have other players to take responsibility. There are a lot of captain types on this team. They set the level and also train fellow players internally. Since we started this, we’ve worked a lot on coaching the players for each other.

The captain of the national team believes that Lindahl, Fischer and Seger have all made it difficult for them to take a place in the national team – thanks to their role models.

Now the younger players are getting better, and they (Lyndal, Fisher, and Seger) probably don’t think it’s so funny. But for me, of course, it’s good if everyone keeps it to a high standard, says Gerhardson.

In honor of Fisher

After 189 caps for the Blue and Gold, Nella Fischer announced yesterday that her career with the national team is over.

– I meant a huge amount. There are many who do this over time, but Nella has also been a role model. On and off the field. Gerhardson says he is a very good and caring person.
