— We have many good leaders. Seger doesn’t start so she won’t be captain, says national team captain Peter Gerhardsson at a press conference.
Instead, it will be Kosovar Asllani who will wear the captain’s armband against South Africa on Sunday, according to Gerhardsson.
It also means that Julia Zigiotti Olme, who has been with us as a reserve, is going home.
— She was there to back up in case Caroline Seger couldn’t drive. Since Seger has been able to increase, the decision was made today, says Gerhardsson.
Victory came to the World Cup with a long injury background and was, among other things, over Monday’s rematch against the Philippines.
“In that way, it’s a good position for tomorrow.” Maybe better than it has been.
