– I probably will not take the trip to Sweden on holiday now, says Erling Braut Haaland to TV 2 after Norway’s 3-2 victory against the Swedes on Sunday night. You can well understand that. Haaland is hardly the most popular player at “söta bror” after lowering Sweden on his own for the second game in a row. Now the mood is bad in Sweden, which has long been a proud football nation. – I’m cursed Viaplay expert Bojan Djordjic, who has also been a guest on Norwegian TV a number of times, is far down after the loss against Norway. – I am cursed that we lose two games in a row against a national team like Norway, he says in the Swedish Viaplay studio after the match, according to Aftonbladet. – The performance of this national team gathering has not been approved, Djordjic adds in the broadcast. He believes some of the reason for the Swedish adversity is due to the many injuries, which have received a lot of publicity. Against Norway, defender Ludwig Augustinsson had to throw in the towel on the warm-up. – I am waiting for the big evaluation in September, but the gut feeling is not good. I do not see that we should start to make it happen with this new game system in such a short time, he thinks. Sweden can not catch up with Norway in the group now. Solbakken’s men have 10 points with two games left, Sweden is left with a poor three points after the first four games. The Swedes’ national team manager Janne Andersson has probably had better national team gatherings. – Norway is good, ie After another loss against Norway, the third in Sweden’s four matches in June, the Sweden boss chooses to praise Norway for the opposition they met on Sunday. – Norway has the proper, proper x-factor with Haaland, but also Ødegaard and Sørloth. They have a number of players who play at a high level and are leading the way there. They have an interesting team, and they have been recording this team for a year and a half now. They are good, that is. It is a good football team, Andersson says to news after the match. What is your verdict on Norway’s match against Sweden? Very impressive Good Had expected more Very disappointing Show result Andersson has led Sweden against both Serbia and Norway, and one of those teams will be the group winner. But the Sweden boss will not evaluate the two teams against each other. – It is only to congratulate Norway today, because they win deservedly, of course. But you can speculate yourself who will win the group, I have no interest in that, Andersson says to news. – You have met Erling Braut Haaland twice now. Have you been surprised by him in any way? – No, I have seen that he is a fantastic striker. Today we played with two midfielders who play in the Allsvenskan and have barely played at the top level for several years. He may be used to playing against more experienced players. At the same time, it is a lesson for our players to have met such a skilled player, because you take that with you until next time, says the Sweden manager. Andersson believes that Sweden’s downturn is about the many and much talked about injury problems. – I will never blame anything, but if you count the number of international matches this team had, and how many minutes they had played together before today … It was perhaps too many inexperienced at the same time, and we were severely punished, Andersson says. – We used to call them little brother. He has to endure harsh criticism in the Swedish media after the loss to Norway. The profiled Aftonbladet writer Erik Niva believes the loss shakes the Swedes’ pride and football identity. – We used to call them little brother. Now we fall heavily against a Norway that is bigger, uglier and better, while we ourselves try to sweep together players to a national team that appears more and more fragile and ruined for every match that is played, for every day that passes, he writes in a comment after the match. ROSES NORWAY: The Swedes’ national team manager Janne Andersson. Photo: JON OLAV NESVOLD / BILDBYRÅN Niva was impressed by several players in Norway on Sunday, he writes. – Berge dominated the midfield, Sørloth plowed over fresh Gabriel Gudmundsson time and time again and Erling Braut Haaland was the predator who really just chose which prey he should put his fangs in, writes the Aftonbladet profile. Sweden profile: – Life goes on Tottenham player Dejan Kulusevski, who was among Sweden’s best players at Ullevaal, does not seem to take the loss so terribly heavy. To news, he describes the match as «ok». – We lost, which is not good. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, life goes on. It is more we who lose the match than Norway who wins it. They score on six of our mistakes, Kulusevski believes. He uses only one word to describe Erling Braut Haaland, and that is “fantastic”. – Why can you not stop him? – We must stop making mistakes, he answers briefly. – What do you think about the penalty kick Norway got? – I asked Robin (Olsen) if it was punishment, and he said it was punishment, so then it is punishment, analyzes the Swedish profile. At the same time, he chose to describe that “the National League is not important”. Expressen commentator Noa Bachner believes the June collection has been a big downturn. – A lousy collection no matter how you look at it. Eight losses in 13 counting matches since Ukraine in the European Championships. The injuries sabotaged the point that the team should practice a new style of play, but the implementation is lacking anyway and the performance has not given the impression of improvement. On the contrary. Tonight’s loss is the most troublesome, Bachner writes in Expressen. Solbakken: – There is something going on In the Norway camp, the atmosphere is far better. National team manager Ståle Solbakken also noticed that the atmosphere at Ullevaal was far better than usual on Sunday. – It’s a bit about us being down. We have not been in a playoff game since I played, and it has been a long time. This means that the audience may have a bit of the same feeling as what we have. There is something going on, they have confidence in the team here, Solbakken believes. Erling Braut Haaland, who only posed for an interview with the rights holder after the match, also believes that the tailwind is blowing over the Norwegian national team stronger than in a long time. – You see it today. The positivity we show on the field at the same time as what happens in the stands. I feel there is something special here. We have won against Sweden away and Serbia away. We did not win against Slovenia at home, but we beat Sweden, so it’s good, says the striker to TV 2. Forsberg: – Norway is a team in progress In the midst of all the misery, Swedish players also manage to praise Norway after the two neighboring duels. – Norway is a team in progress. They bring out young, good players, and they bring out a team now that is doing well. I think Norway is growing to become a good national team. You have to have respect for that, and that’s cool. Unfortunately, they win two matches against us, but I still think there are two teams that are very even, says Emil Forsberg to news. Now there are only two games left of the group game in the National League. They play against Slovenia (away) and Serbia (at home) on September 24 and 27.
