  • It is already known that the choice scared Asllani, but what she did not reveal is that the club choice could have resulted in her doing her part in the blue-and-yellow shirt – something that was discussed with the Swedish national team captain Peter Gerhardsson.

    – I brought it up with him so he wouldn’t be shocked. But I said that if it’s a deal breaker, he can speak up – so that I can have a dignified goodbye, she says to SVT Sport.

    But the national team captain was not negative about the club selection.

    – He thought it was cool. We both think alike and don’t really know what level football is at.
