Loss against Serbia in the Nations League.
Then Sweden rages against a verdict.
– It is clearly red, says Viktor Claesson.
Sweden was not far from getting to the World Cup just a few months ago, but now the form seems to be blown away. Janne Andersson has chosen several new players for his “new” national team, and also tested a new game system – but it does not want to for Blågult.
Swedish tokilskan
There was a loss last time in the home match against Norway, after a big show by superstar Erling Haaland. And on Thursday came the next slap in the face for the Swedish national team. Serbia won the match 1-0, and Sweden is now in the Nations League group.
But it could have been a different outcome if it wanted to be different. After 60 minutes, Viktor Claesson sent a free kick in high over the penalty box. However, it was only a yellow card, which Sweden raged against afterwards.
– My spontaneous reaction, I have not seen the clip, was that it is clearly red. Robin will be free, I thought it was clearly a red card, says Viktor Claesson to SVT.
“Definitely red”
Janne Andersson agrees with Claesson.
– When it happened, I thought so (red). My management staff, who may be a party to the case, definitely think it is red afterwards, he says.
There was also real anger at how the referees handled the Serbian masking, and that no more time was spent after the regular 90 minutes.
– I have no problem with Serbia worming as they do, but then they will add time. I can not bear the fact that they do not know the time, he says.
