lig. With the uncertainty surrounding captain Caroline Seger, Peter Gerhardsson knows who to lean on.
Natalie Bjorn grants security to a Confederate captain.
“I want to be the kind of player you rely on when it comes to important matches,” says Natalie Bjorn.

was a habit Caroline Seger He took the place in front of all the media, but the captain suffered a heel injury during the tournament, missed the match against Portugal and is unlikely to be ready to start the match against Belgium (but likely to be a substitute).
Natalie Bjorn pulls her left hand through her hair when Peter Gerhardson Ask to talk about it. A little awkward, but at the same time relaxed, she listens with a soft look and an initial smile on her lips.
– She is a very strong personality and has been during my period, says the captain of the national team and continues:
– Natalie is also a captain and team captain, which is why she is here now. As a coach, I get kind of safe when you’re on the field. I think this is very nice. I know where you – you – want to play in one place, but sometimes it can play in other places, says Peter Gerhardsson and turns into Natalie.
“You want to become a player you can trust”
The Everton professional herself indicated to the European Commission that she wants to play the role of central defence. But when Caroline Seeger had to give up matches, the Everton professional Bjorn became the natural alternative.
Now I’ve played two matches in a short time (Portugal plus the European Championship qualifiers against Brazil) so it feels like it’s more memorable, says Bjorn.
When asked if Natalie Björn is “a player to be reckoned with” when there are storms, the 25-year-old answered confidently without sounding confident.
I want to be the kind of person that people trust and feel safe when they play with me. The more you play, the more confident the coach will be and the more self-confidence you will gain.
The victory was a boost for Bjorn
The debut of the national team made its debut in 2016. During WC 2019, she joined and started many matches and in the Olympics last year she played in all matches.
Caroline Seeger is usually there to support Natalie Bjorn before and during matches when she plays in the unfamiliar midfield position when the captain can’t play by herself.
I usually ask her for some advice before the game so I know what I should think of. We usually have a dialogue. Hence she is a great team captain and knows when you should be a coach and when you should give your feedback. So we have a dialogue during the matches.
Caroline is a great soccer player and captain and I don’t think anyone will reach her level, but you can always try to get there, points out Natalie Bjorn.
