The boot against Denmark before the Nations League: « Not good enough »

On Tuesday, home game against Denmark awaits the Swedish women’s team in football. Sweden needs a point to win the group and get to the semi -finals in the Nations League.

When Sweden plays the European Championship premiere on July 4, it will then be against Denmark.

– It becomes a bit special when you get to meet the same team that you will soon stand against in a championship. But we know Denmark well, have met them not so long and many matches before. Of course it is a special situation but it is not something we are thinking about right, says Jonna Andersson.

Included the first one The meeting between Sweden and Denmark in Nations League’s group play will have met three times in less than five months.

– It’s rare that you meet a team three times in such a short time it feels like, but that’s what it is. It will be interesting to meet them now again, and then it will be even more interesting to meet them a third time at a European Championships, says Jennifer Falk.

The matches against « Di Røde » will be extra fun because of the rivalry between Sweden and Denmark, says Amanda Nildén.

– It’s great fun, even now that it’s such an important match. They are always very physical and it always gets a little hot, but these are the matches you play for, that’s what is fun, says Nildén.

Assistant Confederate Captain Magnus Wikman does not feel that the rivalry between the countries is where it was once.

– It’s a little special. But it feels more and more, as with many countries – they play with each other in club teams, they are teammates and have met – so I don’t think it’s so special in this case, says Wikman.

What do you think about Denmark?

– I think Denmark is a good football team, but not « good enough ».
