Sweden lost 1-0 against Switzerland in the Nations League, which means that the chance to reach the Olympics next summer is gone.
SVT’s expert Hanna Marklund wants to emphasize that it is difficult to get to the Olympics, but explains that she is worried about the future.
– It is not so strange that you miss the Olympics, but Sweden has always made it there. What worries me is how they performed during the Nations League which caused them to become worried.
But now Hanna Marklund wants to see a change.
– He has gotten the most out of the experienced players and I think you should pay tribute to them. But now it is clearer that it is time to bring in new players and now there are great and good opportunities to do so.
“Ready for European Championship 2025”
Which players are you referring to?
– Rosa Kafaji, Anna Sandberg, Hanna Lundkvist, Matilda Vinberg and Ellen Wangerheim in Hammarby. She has come back from the injury and had a fantastic season, she is given in the future as a number nine where we lacked alternatives. There are several players who will be ready for Euro 2025.
Why don’t you think national team captain Peter Gerhardsson chooses to replace more young players?
– I think it is about the fact that it is actually a national team that has performed extremely well when it has mattered, they have made it to the championship and in decisive situations they have been at their best. But now is the time for change, she says.
