World Cup hero Zecira Musovic was poked against Italy.
Now criticism is directed at the national team captain Peter Gerhardsson.
– It is very strange, thinks TV4 journalist Olof Lundh.
When Sweden met Italy on Tuesday evening, the national team captain surprised Peter Gerhardsson most. By unexpectedly poking the blue-yellow WC hero Zecira Musovic.

Instead got Jennifer Falk the confidence between the posts and nailed it again when Blågult took a very important 1-0 victory on Italian soil. Many speculated that it may have been down to Musovic’s performance against Spain where she conceded three goals, one of which was a proper goalkeeping blunder.

Gerhardsson also had to justify his decision before the match and then answered as follows:
– Sometimes you can’t tell everything. A little secret, said Gerhardsson on TV4.
– You have to look at what the competitive situation looks like. Whoever looks the best gets to play.

The criticism in TV4
The Swedish captain’s decision to bench Musovic as well as the strange explanation for the decision arouses great criticism from the TV4 experts. There both Olof Lundh and Vicki Blomme in the TV4 studio showed his displeasure.
– Dumping Musovic only creates uncertainty. She should have had to stand to show that it is not due to the mistake against Spain. Very strange, says Lundh.
– He didn’t really answer what it was that was supposed to be secret. Then you wonder what it is. It feels like a poke. I think Musovic should be allowed to stand, says Blommé.

Zecira Musovic gained a lot of confidence during the World Cup and impressed in several matches, especially in the World Cup Round of 16 against the USA and broke a new World Cup record with the most saves for a goalkeeper who keeps a clean sheet. But now it will be exciting to see who gets the trust in the future when Musovic and Falk settle for the first place in the national team.
– I always go in with the attitude that I will play. I have done good training during this week, and it is then up to the national team captain who will be the Swedish goalkeeper choice, says Jennifer Falk to the television channel.
– I will do everything to be able to stand in the future.
