Watch Dejan Kulusevski being interviewed about the criticized pitch at the National Arena in the player above.
Blågult occasionally played Slovakia in the group final in the C division of the Nations League. Where Sweden secured promotion to the next edition of the tournament.
But at times it became difficult for the Swedes to control the matches as they wanted – because the condition of the pitch at the National Arena was far from optimal this November evening.
– No comment, laughs Isak Hien but then gives an answer.
– I have played on many types of pitches, I have played on better and I have played on worse. The plan today was perhaps not the best.
Gyökeres: “Not the best carpet”
Alexander Isak agrees.
– With a better mat, we would have had better and safer control of the match, says Alexander Isak.
Goal scorer Viktor Gyökeres thinks it was a challenge.
– It wasn’t the best mat you’ve played on. But I scored and we won.
