Sweden is heading towards one of the worst public figures in the Friends Arena.
But Dejan Kulusevski is doing his best to fill the empty seats.
I take all my friends, as I can, says Diane Kulusevsky.
Sweden have lost seven of their last nine matches and now face a crucial match against Slovenia. In the event of a loss or a tie, “Blågult” will be relegated to Division C in the Nations League, where teams such as the Faroe Islands, Gibraltar and Luxembourg currently reside.
Right now, there’s nothing else to do but go out and show that no one will win here. People didn’t want to go to friends and play here because people know how great we are as a national team. That’s what we have to go back to and find the identity, he says Emil Forsberg.
Crowd support at Friends Arena will be important, but only 21,500 tickets were sold during yesterday. This means that Sweden will avoid a record low audience figure, but it still looks like it will be one of the worst on friends in the course of the competition.
“Naturally”
Despite recent losses and a late kick-off (20.45), Forsberg and Diane Kulusevsky Supporters to reach the fateful meeting in friends.
– I think it is normal for you to come and support us. We are grateful to everyone out there. I bring all my friends, as often as I can. You don’t always get the chance to play in Friends, in front of family and fans, so it will be a great opportunity for us to show our love to all the fans and hopefully win and celebrate everyone together,” says Kulusevsky.
Forsberg is on the same track.
Public support means a lot. We are very happy for all of our supporters. We want to win tomorrow and do it in a way that shows we are there.
The worst crowd for the men’s national team since Friends Arena became the new national arena ten years ago is 19,737 and “Blågult” has attracted fewer than 21,500 spectators in the course of the competition six times.
The best attendance figure, 50,022, was recorded in 2017 in a World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg.
